AD is after death,BC is before Jesus.What year was Jesus born.?

Question

If 2007 is after the death of Jesus,does the 33 years of His life come off of this or is there a time period between BC and AD that is His lifespan.

Answer 1

AD is Anno Domini, which means "in the year of our Lord"

So Jesus dies in the 33rd year of our Lord, or 33 A.D.

Answer 2

AD does not stand for 'after death', but rather anno domini which is Latin for 'in the year of our lord. So A.D. would actually stand for the year that he was born with B.C representing the time prior to that.
Ex. -AD 2007 would mean '2007 years after the year of our lord'
Most scholars however believe that early Christians may have missed the year by about 5 years.
Also BC and AD have largely been replaced with CE and BCE (current era and before current era) so that there can be a universal time scale (being that most of the world's population does not believe the dogma of Christianity)

There you go.

Answer 3

Yahoshua bin Yosef al Nazareth was born between 3 and 2 B.C.E. "Before the common era." According to historical accounts.
-------
In Western Christianity, the Feast of the Nativity has been traditionally celebrated in the liturgical season of Christmastide as Christmas on 25 December. Few scholars believe this was the date of his birth. Scholars speculate that the date of the celebration was moved by the Roman Catholic Church from January 6, when it was previously celebrated as part of the feast of Theophany, in an attempt to replace the Roman festival of Saturnalia. When the Julian Calendar was first put into use (45 BC), December 25 was approximately the date of the solstice. Due to calendar slippage, the solstice now falls on December 21 or 22. The theory that December 25 was the birthdate of Jesus was popularized by Sextus Julius Africanus in Chronographiai (AD 221). That the birth was not in winter can be concluded from the information about the shepherds being out with the sheep. It was unlikely that the shepherds slept on the ground outside during the winter season. However it was common that shepherds slept outside, watching their sheep, during the spring.

Both Luke and Matthew wrote that Jesus was born when Herod was king. According to Josephus, Herod died shortly after a lunar eclipse. This is usually identified as the eclipse of March 13, 4 BC. Jesus was born sometime between the first appearance of the Star of Bethlehem and the time the magi arrived in Herod's court. As Herod ordered the execution of boys age 2 and under, the star must have made its first appearance within the previous two years. This line of reasoning yields a date of 6-4 BC for the nativity. (Note that there is no suggestion in the Gospels that Jesus was born on the day the star first appeared.)

One problem with the 6-4 BC date is that there are difficulties with locating a census of Quirinius at that time, a key element in Luke's nativity narrative. There was a census of Roman citizens in 8 BC, but Joseph, Jesus' earthly father, was not a Roman citizen. Quirinius, governor of Iudaea Province, conducted a census in AD 6 or AD 7. But an ordinary census would count people where they lived and would not require anyone to return to his ancestral home. Some modern authors identify Luke's worldwide census with a mass oath taking that occurred in 3-2 BC when Augustus was given the title "father of the nation." As a descendant of David, Joseph might have been selected to take the oath.Tertullian, Origen, Africanus and other early Christian writers date the birth of Jesus as 3-2 BC. Jesus is said to have been "about thirty" when he began his ministry in AD 29, which yields a birth year of 3-2 BC.

Answer 4

AD means "Anno Domini" which is Latin for "the year of our lord". We don't actually know the exact year that Jesus of Nazareth was born.

Just a couple of things FYI:
1. A.D. should come BEFORE the year (A.D. 2007, not 2007 A.D.) and
2. There was no year 0, so 1 B.C. was directly followed by A.D. 1.
.

Answer 5

AD=Anno Domini, the Year of our Lord. Not After Death. Jesus was probably born in what we would consider app. 6-4 B.C. since there was an error in calculating Jesus's birth during the Middle Ages.

Answer 6

AD is not after death. It is Anno Domini, Latin for "In the Year of (Our) Lord".

The year 1 AD immediate follows 1 BC. There is no year zero.

Answer 7

AD is anno domini...latin for 'year of our lord'...and is dated from the birth of Jesus, not his death. Admittedly, the Church is off by 4-6 years but who's really counting anyway.

Answer 8

No, BC is before he died, not before he existed. Meaning that he was born in 33 BC.

Answer 9

Good question!

I really don't know
