when was jesus born?

Answer 1

April 6th or17th, 6 b.c?!

Answer 2

I remember this from class. according to the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus was born near the end of Herod’s reign which, would place his birth at 6-4 BCE. But Luke tells us that Jesus was born around the time when the Roman governor Quirinus took a census in Judea. That would place his birth at 6-7 CE, ten years from the end of Herod's death.

Answer 3

Our currant calendar was created by Pope Gregory XIII and is called the Gregorian calendar. This replaced the Julian calendar that Julius Caesar created. Julius lived before Christ.

In 1582 Pope Gregory estimated the birth of Christ and Started the Gregorian calendar based on that estimate. Gradually other countries switched to the Gregorian calendar. Great Britain 1752, Russia 1918, Turkey 1927.

Because the actual birth day of Christ had long been forgotten the Catholic church designated Dec 25 as his birthday because it was being celebrate by the ancient Christians in Dec to avoid being persecuted by non believers. The Dec solstices was cause for a celebration by the Romans because of the sun's path heading south in the sky with the promise of warmer weather.

Answer 4

I think is's generally thought that he was born in 3BC. I know this doesn't make sense but that's religion for you. I read a book by Andrew Morton or Wilson some years ago that was a life of Jesus. I'm an athiest but I'm sure the historical figure Jesus lived. Done more harm than good though.

Answer 5

There are no historical records which declare the exact date of the birth of Jesus Christ. We can, however, get very close to the date from historical evidence provided in the Gospels and secular historical evidence. The actual date is unimportant because there is more than enough evidence -secular and Biblical- which verifies His birth, His life -including His miracles- His death and His resurrection

Answer 7

Jesus is born again in my heart every morning. I wake up, and give Him praise.

When was he phycally born, as a human? Who know. It doesn't matter to me if it was Dec 25th or September 19th or even on June 8th. The fact is, He was born, He died and He is risen.

Answer 8

Late December, 2 BC. That's not a popular answer, by the way - most folks will say April of 6 BC.

Answer 9

in the year 32 BC. I think He was around the age of 32 when He was hung on the cross. since BC means Before Christ and AD means Anno Domini or After Death. I would assume that would bring it to around 32 BC or there may be a gap between 1 BC and 1 AD.

Answer 10

If we ignore the calculations of St. Denis the Bad Mathemetician, it seems to point towards 7 BC

Answer 11

There are various theories as to what exact date He was born...

some determine the date by celebrations and some determine it by when taxes were collected.

I don't think it is known exactly yet.
