Jesus was born in April and was said to be 33 when he died. Christmas was a Pagan Feast Day that the Church wanted to over-ride so they took the date and made it their own. How many years ago was that. What year is it today. That does not mean that if Jesus was alive today he would be 2008 because there are 15 years missing in the calculations due to a change in a Roman Emperors name change. The Church made up all these standards and are completely wrong. We would be better off with the Chinese Calendar.

Jesus was not born on December 25.
He was about thirty when he was baptised.
He preached for 3 1/2 years.
He was killed on Nisan 14 of the Jewish calendar.
This equates to April/ May.
Go back 33 1/2 years from any April/ May and you get:
September/ October.
At that time, the shepherds of jesus' day still had their flocks in the fields.
By december 25, they were tucked away in the lower floors of the houses to protect them from the winter weather..
Commonsense proves December 25 is an 'introduced' date and is not accurate.

Jesus' actual birth is in late September/ early October. He was born during the time of harvest. Pregnant Mary with Joseph were trying to find an "inn" to stay in, but because everyone had travelled to Bethleham for the harvest they could not find a place to stay. They did find a manger.
His age is easy to figure out. Scholars believe he was actually born in 3 B.C., some may say 4 B.C. We are at 2007 A.D. A.D. is an abbreviation for the latin words meaning in english, "In the Year of Our Lord". So if Jesus was actually born in 3 B.C. (according to the timetable and death of Herod) Jesus is 2010. Remember, there was no year "0". He was around 33 years of age when he died.

I don't think today was supposed to be his birthday. It was first celebrated January 6th of each year.
Scholars estimate Jesus was born between 8 BC and AD 6. So I guess he would be roughly 2000 years old. Kind of old for a "second coming", eh?

no place in the bible does it say that Jesus Christ was born on DEC 25. it does tell you when he died, Nisan 14, the last supper or passover. besides when Jesus was born the Shepard's where in the fields and in DEC it is the rainy and cold season. also when the wise men seen Jesus he was a toddler not an infant in the manger

Today is Jesus's birtday but it was actually December 23. Nobody in the world knows Jesus's age.

Approx 2007 -- but it really isn't his b-day, I think it is agreed on by scholars that it was actually in the summer sometime.
That's only if you're referring to the manifest human form of Jesus. Technically He has been around since before time began. John 1:1 -- And the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

today isnt really jesus' bday, that woulda been somewhere in the summer, but when christianity was being spread it integrated the customs of the people. christmas was put in december to be similar to a german (i believe) feast.
but he was born around 4 AD so that would make him about 2003 years old

Hrm i believe him to be 2000 and something years :D
And Dec 25th was not his birthday. This day was stolen from the pagans who celebrated the Sun Gods birth at this time, a festival called Saturnalia.
