Bible Question:
If Christ was born around year 6 or 5 BC, why is the calendar we currently use not be started at Christ Birth, ie now should be around 1999AD- Can any one help me |
Bible Answer: mrhearing Your right but at the time the present calendar was started they thought they had the right year. Later after new evidence was discovered it was found that Jesus was actually born earlier. However it wouldn't be 1999AD but rather 2009AD we would have to add on 4-6 years. Using the Jewish calendar I believe it is around 5764. EdB |
