The year counting starts at 1 when Jesus was born.And you should check out www.Decent films.com for great christian movie reveiws.
YEAR BC (Before Christ) YEAR AD (Anno Domini) BC means Before Christ, and Anno Domini means "the year of our Lord", the period since his birth. So AD and BC refer to the cusp of these two periods in time. Therefore, we count years after Jesus' *supposed* birth. I don't agree with the "supposed" birth of Jesus, because if it's "supposed" then why is it the marking point to start counting years? It's part of your own explanation.
The first Christians were, if you believe the bible, Jesus's disciples, so Christianity began the year Jesus started teaching. If you count 0AD as Jesus's birth then about 20/21AD
No,JESUS was born on year 1.That's why you may notice that the history and the years are decreasing before the birth of JESUS ,until the birth of JESUS which was on year 1 and the years started to increase after the birth of JESUS until reaching this year 2010...hope you got my point...
AD started as soon as Jesus was born. It is actually Latin for 'after birth' and BC is Latin for 'Before Christ'. It just happens that they are the same letters and AD is not. It is a very common mistake for people to think AD started after Jesus died. But, think about it. If BC ended after he was born because it would no longer be before Christ, and AD started after he died, there would be some years missing in time for when he was living.In Latin, AD stands for Anno Domini which translates to "year of our lord." It it supposed to start counting from the birth of Jesus.
We can say that bc (or bce) ended with the start of the common era (denoted by ad or ce). Present estimates put the age of the earth at 4.54 billion years, plus or minus 45 million. So, if it is meaningful to start counting from the beginning of the world, then that would be about 4.54 billion years bc.
It is said that Jesus was born 4 years before AD. This means for year 2010, there are 2014 from Jesus birth.
Jesus evidently was born in the month of Ethanim (September-October) of the year 2 B.C.E.
The Roman abbot Dionysus Exiguus devised the new Christian calendar in 533, but he never intended it to start on the birth of Jesus. He knew that it was impossible to say when Jesus was born, but he knew, or thought he knew, when Herod died. So, he chose to begin his Christian calendar on the year of Herod's death, and he based this on the reign of the Roman emperor Augustus. Unaware that Augustus only adopted that name four years after his reign began, going by his birth name of Octavius until then, Exiguus commenced his calendar just 4 years too late.
there are 365 seconds in a year. START COUNTING!!!!!
That's actually true,If you read in history,you will find that the years before JESUS' birth are decreasing until JESUS' birth then after JESUS' birth,the years are increasing until reaching this year 2010,thanks to GOD...hope you got my point...
Our Lord Jesus was Born in Bethlehem in Judea, around the 3 or 4 BC.
The very first year in the commonly used Gregorian calendar is 1 AD, which marks the traditional date of the birth of Jesus Christ. The year 1 BC directly precedes it, and there is no year 0 in this system. The concept of counting years from this point was established by the monk Dionysius Exiguus in the 6th century.
