how long ago was Jesus born?

Answer 1

On Christmas it will be approximately 2024 years.

Answer 2

The age of jesus is a confusing answer. jesus was not born in the year Zero AD. he was born between the years 3or4 bc and 7 bc.!!
is that a surprise to you?
it funny how politics have shaped the truth in christian traditions.
in fact where the bible says that jesus was 33 years old, it also says that Jesus was NOT yet 50, which implies he was already 40 otherwise the jewish leaders wouldve said YOU are not yet 40!

when the Roman calendar was changed they zero'd out the time and micacluated when jesus was born. others testify that No one could be older than the person who was a leader at the time. so 33 became an arbitrary age. but if jesus was older than 40 all you have to do is add 7 or 8 years to 33 and you get 42 when he died.
I would also refer you to Glenn Kimbal a Historian of some notariety! He has a few historical revelations that have been hidden from christianity in the name of politics

Answer 3

He was born in the year 2 BC and was 2 in 2 CE. There is no year zero. He was born on or about the time of the fall full moon, as John the Baptist was six months older and was born on the Passover. It seems that all major evens in the Bible happen at these two times of the year.

Answer 4

Well, we are in the year 2006 AD which is the year f the lord, but he couldn't have been born in the year 0! So let's just say he was born somewhere between 2-6 AD!

Answer 5

31AD =Jesus died at age 33; so going back it would be 2BC which would mean 2009 years ago.

Note: ECCLES.7:1 = "A good name is better than precious ointment; and the day of death than the day of one's birth."

CHRISTMAS
Christmas isn't Jesus's birthdate; it was the birthday of the sun god. Scripture doesn't mention Jesus's birthdate or any christians celebrating His Birthday. The only birthday mentioned besides Pharoah is the heathen king Herod. "Christmas" means "mass of Christ"; the celebration coexisted in Rome before there was any in Jerusalem. The early Roman Church however did establish a pagan festival that (Jer.10) coexisted with Jesus's Birth and that was the birthday of the sun god. (Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th ed., article: "Christmas"). The Catholic sources admit that Christmas didn't co-exist with the earliest festivals. Jesus wasn't born Christmas; even scripture makes this evident. "On the night of Jesus's birth, the shepherd's were still keeping watch over their flocks." (Luke 2:8). The rainy season in Ancient Israel began after the Feast of Tabernacles which generally is early October. In November, it would be cool and wet; the flocks from the pasture had already been brought and kept in winter quarters by the shepherds. This tells us the shepherds were no longer in the fields at night. Another peice of evidence is overlooked is in Luke 1:35-36; it tells us John the Baptist was born to Mary's cousin Elizabeth six months before Jesus. And as we look further in verse 5-17, we see Zacharias an elderly priest burning incense on the altar and then an angel appearing to him and telling him that he and his wife would have a son to prepare Christ's Way. We know however when this announcement was made by the angel because of Zacharias was "of the course of Abijah" Please look at 1Chron.24:1-19; it tells us that King David divided these priests into 24 "courses" that served in the temple by rotation. The Course of Abijah would be the 8th of the 24 courses which usually would occur around the end of May. Pentecost came the week after the 8th course served and he had to serve all 24 courses during the three festival seasons. So Zacharias came home approximately after the first week of June; in which John the Baptist was conceived around mid-June and 9 months later would be his birth. John Baptist's birth came around mid-March while Jesus's was around mid-September. Also notice every year people claim 3 wise men seen Jesus in a stable; is this really true? The Bible nowhere states "3 wise men" or "that the wise men visited Jesus in a stable". Read for yourself: (Matt.2:11); these Magi came from the east beyond the Euphrates River which in the 1st century was called the Parthian Empire (the eastern border of the Roman Empire). Several weeks after Jesus's birth, the Magi arrived in Jerusalem, the king's palace searching for Jesus. The "star" in the east led them to take their trip to Judea. After hearing about the timing of the "star's appearance" from the Magi; King Herod ordered the slaughter of all children two years and younger(Matt.2:16). When Jesus was 40 days old: His parents presented him in the temple (Luke 2:22)(Lev.12:2-4). After the Magi came, the family fled to Egypt. {Jesus six weeks old.}

Answer 7

that is now 2010 A.D Jesus replaced into crucified in 33 A.D, after ministering for 3 years, beginning his ministry at 30 years of age so, i wager Ussher replaced into spot on at the same time with his assigning of A.D. at the same time as he did. so Jesus replaced into born 2010 years in the past.
