You are asking about date of birth of Jesus to be most likely between year 4 BC (Before Christ) and year 6 BC? It is just that when the calendar was changed to use the birth of Jesus as the central point some errors were made.
* For start a year 0 between 1 AC (After Christ) and 1 BC (Before Christ) was not included.
* Second, Luke & Mathew provides us the following data related on the date of birth of Jesus:
* Augustus Cesar was the emperor of Rome
* Herod The Great was the ruler of Jerusalem
* Quirinius was in charge of Siria (governor)
When you check other historians documents they where not in their respective trones during 1 AD; the most near time that all three where in their places simultaneously is between 4 BC and 6 BC. (Herod The Great died in 4 BC).

You're probably referring to the fact that our current dating system uses the wrong year for the birth of Christ. If Jesus was born during the reign of Herod, he was born before Herod died in what we would call 4 BC.
(Of course, if Luke is correct, then Jesus wasn't born until Quirinius became governor of Syria, which didn't happen until 6 AD, so take it all with a grain of salt.)

When they tried to figure out which year Jesus was born, they estimated as best they could. But King Herod the Great died in 4 BC and the Bible has him as still laive at Jesus' birth. So they were at least 4 years off.

It's like what ledbetter and Chancelikely have said. If you'd like LOTS more information about it, you can check out Wikipedia's entry for Dionysius Exiguus, the fellow who set up the "Anno Domini" Christian numbering of the years, back in 525 ... but he had miscalculated the dates of Herod's reign, who died in 4 BCE:

You're talking about the fact that scholars now think that Jesus was actually born about 3 B.C.?
I think when they determined what "year" it was back in the middle ages, they miscalculated a bit.

It is because of the change in calendar systems. I don't know the specific details though. But that might be a point for you to start your search.

Could you be a little more vague?
