what year did jesus die and born....and when did christianity begin?

Question

when did jesus die and born....and when did christianity begin?....sum pple say tht he born at 4 b.c. and sum say 1 b.c.

Answer 1

We don't when he died. We know the Herod mentioned in WiseMen story died in 4 BC.. Since he ordered children under 2 killed to match the Magi's story - Jesus may have been born as early as 6 BC. 4 is the most common figure.
Christianity began w/ Christ. The name first arose in Syrian Antioch which story I believe you will find in Acts 7.

Answer 2

Historians debate about the actual year and it's impossible to know for sure but the best guess is probably 2 b.c to 6 a.d. and his death is 33 years later I believe. Christianity as an organized religion didn't begin until the 3rd Century, up until then it was small groups of beleivers spread out through the Mediterranean. Interestingly enough there was an even more diverse group of beliefs in the beginnings of Christianity than there are denominations now. Jesus didn't leave behind a clear cut message for his followers, the books of the bible were written way after the fact and are pretty ambiguous about many things, also the early believers had to decide between hundreds of other texts written at the time that were never included in the bible.

Answer 3

Jesus could have been born as early as 6 BC, but most definitely by 4 BC. Explanation: We know from Josephus that Herod the Great died in March of 4 BC. He was the Herod that wanted to kill the Baby Jesus (see Matthew 2). And, since he killed all the babies in Bethlehem 2 years old and younger because of what he learned from the Magi concerning the appearance of the star, Jesus could have been born as early as 6 BC.

Jesus most likely died ca. 29 or 30 AD. He began His ministry at about 30 years of age, and probably ministered about 3--4 years before being crucified. This length of ministry is based on John's Gospel and the number of Passover feasts that he refers to during Jesus' ministry. It could have been later/longer.

Answer 4

Many have already given the dates for the birth and death of Jesus.

So I will answer your Christianity question.

The word "Christian" came into use during the days of Paul, who was a great evangelist who taught people from Asia, Africa and Europe about Jesus.

By 64 AD there were Christian congregations in many cities from Jerusalem to Rome. Antioch, which at that time was the capitol of the Roman province of Syria, was the most active center of early Christianity. It was in Antioch that the name "Christian" was first given to the disciples (Acts 11:26).

Answer 5

The actual birth date of Jesus' birth is not recorded but it can easily be determined from the accounts of the Gospels as well as secular historical evidence with close proximity. As for Jesus' death, this event is supported by Biblical and secular historical evidence as having occured around the Passover of 33 AD. Christianity began at the Feast of Pentecost when the Holy Spirit filled the Apostles and enabled them to perform the task with which God had charged them -See Acts Chapter 2

Answer 6

No one knows for sure so there is no way to answer that question accurately.

As far as when Christianity began you could try Wikipedia.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christianity

Just so you know the books contained in the Bible were voted on back during the time of Constantine. At the time there were 100s of gospel versions circulating. Imagine if they voted differently (Christians would possibly believe differently). Also keep in mind that all the gospels were written about 70 years after Jesus died so it's very likely they are not accurate. Jesus never wrote anything and none of the people that were alive at that time wrote down what he said. The Gospels of the Bible weren't even written by the people who's names they bear.

I recommend this book, "Letter to a Christian Nation" by Sam Harris.

Answer 7

Those who state December 25th need to study a little history. Jesus was likely not born in that time of the year given the events surrounding his birth. his birthday was set in December to coincide with the Winter Solstice by the council of Nicea. The winter solstice was/is a major "holiday" for the pagans of that time.

Easter was also set to coincide with another pagan holiday, the Vernal Equinox. Those creating the rules, rituals, and practices of xstianity knew they needed to get pagans "into" xstianity, and this was one way of making the transition easier. Instead of celebrating the solstice, they were celebrating the birth of the "messiah". Same holds true for easter.

But, as far as years, both in your question have been considered accurate given they didn't really keep birth records at that time .

Answer 8

Jesus was NOT born Dec. 25...that was a spin-off on the Pagan holiday of Yule on Dec. 21. After the Christians weren't persecuted, they changed the date of that holiday to make it easier to persecute the Pagans.

But to actually ANSWER the question, he was born in the year 1 A.D. He died around 30-33 A.D.
B.C. stands for before Christ, though that has been changed to B.C.E. which means Before Common Era.
A.D. DOES NOT stand for after Death. If that were the case, then there would be about 33 years of unrecorded, non-existent time.
A.D. DOES stand for anno domini, which means "in the year of the Lord" in Latin. Basically, it means After Birth, in Latin.

Or, if you would prefer, read this from dictionary.com
—Usage note Because anno Domini means “in the year of the Lord,” its abbreviation a.d. was originally placed before rather than after a date: The Roman conquest of Britain began in a.d. 43 (or began a.d. 43). In edited writing, it is still usually placed before the date. But, by analogy with the position of b.c. “before Christ,” which always appears after a date (Caesar was assassinated in 44 b.c.), a.d. is also frequently found after the date in all types of writing, including historical works: The Roman emperor Claudius I lived from 10 b.c. to 54 a.d. Despite its literal meaning, a.d. is also used to designate centuries, being placed after the specified century: the second century a.d.

Answer 9

Unclearn. Born somewhere between 6 BC and 4 AD, death would be 30 to 33 years later.

Answer 10

Jehovah's witnesses are more suitable worried about watchtower theories and under no circumstances what Jesus Christ has achieved for everybody on the go and how He rose the 0.33 day and defeated death. they do no longer recognize Jesus Christ as their own Savior so that they make up stupid recommendations about salvation that one gained't locate everywhere in the Bible and they seem to be a cult and so demonstrate cult like methods Moises_Friaz aka Moses previous has no theory what Salvation is and for what reason Jesus Christ rose from the useless and is alive continuously more suitable and if he did he will be worshiping Jesus Christ and under no circumstances watchtower
