I want to know when 1 AC is? Is it from the time after Jesus died, or after he was born? If it was after he died, then the 33 years he was alive on earth how do we count those years? Are they just freebies?

BC means before Christ was born. The year Christ was born we count that as one. AC means after Christ's death.

AD, 'The year of our Lord' from a Latin phrase. The people creating that calendar system thought Jesus was born 1 A.D. It is NOT 'after death.'
... "The Gospel of the Holy Twelve" also known as the Essene Gospel and by a few other names was, quite literally, dreamed up. The author claimed to see an Aramaic book in his dreams which he then transcribed and translated after waking.
THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO CREDIBLE EVIDENCE SUPPORTING IT AS AN ANCIENT DOCUMENT.
The document contradicts scripture on many counts and makes claims which are not supported by anything but the author's mind. In other words, it is historical FICTION.

Do you mean AD 1
Because theres BC and AD
BC= Before Christ
AD= Anno Dominio (which is Latin for In the Year of the Lord)
AD starts when Jesus was born.

Just to note, historians are trying to abandon the whole BC/AD system. Now it's BCE for Before Common Era (before Christ) and CE for Common Era (after Christ's birth). World history textbooks are starting to print CE rather than AD.

He was alive more than that. If you want to know the whole story of Christ with out part of his lifetime taken out go to http://www.essene.org Read The Gospel of the Holy Twelve on the web site. (The original Bible with Christs words not omitted

There's no AC in time. Only B.C. (Before Christ), and A.D. (anno domini, which is latin for in the year of our lord). So, A.D. sums up Christ's life on earth and all time after the ascension.

1 A.D. begins the first year of Christs Ministry. Christ was crucified in 3 A.D.
I'm not sure where A.C. comes in, unless you think it's After Christ. Actually, it's A.D. which means Anno Domini ("After Christ" in latin).
