We are at 2007, he ascended year 33 and that was 1974 years ago. He was born 2 years before bible years ended, so he was age 35 in the year 33. John 3:13-17; 20:17;

Answer 3

Our only sources of information on Jesus' birth are the gospels of Matthew and Luke. Matthew describes a "Massacre of the Innocents" under Herod the Great, which Jesus's parents avoid through a Flight into Egypt. Luke dates the event according to a pan-Roman census supposedly organized during the reign of Quirinius, in which tax-payers had to return to their ancestral regions. While the former is not known outside the gospels, the latter is mentioned by the Jewish historian Josephus.

Furthermore, the accounts of Matthew and Luke are difficult to reconcile with one another. The Gospel of Matthew states that Jesus was born while Herod was still alive, and that Herod ordered the slaughter of infants that were two years old and younger (Matt. 2:16). Using Josephus' account of Herod, scholars have calculated a year of death for Herod c. 4 BC.

Luke also places the first chapters of his gospel under Herod (Luke 1:5), but his later places Jesus' birth during a census conducted under the governorship of Quirinius, who, according to Josephus, conducted the census in 6 AD. In order to reconcile the two Gospel accounts, some have suggested that Quirinius had a separate period of rule coinciding with Herod (see evidence [2]), or that Josephus reported the date of the completion of the census rather than of the entire duration of it. Others have suggested a different reading of Luke's text which should rather refer to a census taken not under Qurinius but "before the census taken when Quirinius was governor" [3].

Numerous commentators have attempted to identify the Star of Bethlehem with some known astronomical object, thereby providing a clear date. There are, however, too many possible phenomena — including astrological conjunctions — to single out one of them with certainty.

In the 6th century, Dionysius Exiguus made the birth date of Jesus the basis for his chart of Easter dates. Dionysius' labeled the years since Jesus' birth "AD", which stands for Anno Domini (meaning "in the year of the Lord" in Latin), a system later supplemented by the term "BC", which stands for Before Christ. In his calculations, Dionysius miscalculated the death of Herod by four years, resulting in the awkward situation that Jesus' birth is usually dated into the years "BC" (Before Christ).

Answer 4

The BC/AD divide begins with Jesus' death and resurrection. 1AD was 2007 years ago, and Jesus lived on earth for the 33 years prior to that.

Answer 5

Well, our years started after Jesus' death, so Jesus must have died about 2,007 years ago. Give or take a few.

Answer 6

About 2000 give or Take and Few to a couple hundred Years!!!









Wahoo

no. Christians keep telling us that one day = 1,000 years, so Jesus must have existed 730,000 years ago.
