This is actually an interesting question because, as it turns out, Christ was born in 5BC. This is due to the irregular time keeping habits of the Romans who creatively manipulated the recorded progression of the years in order to get more taxes. In an effort to keep most of recorded history 'in tune' with the accepted years of known events a compromise had to be reached.

A.D. stands for "Anno Domini," which means "in the year of our Lord" in Latin. It is traditionally believed to have started in the year of Jesus Christ's birth, although historical and scholarly debate exists over the precise dating of Christ's birth. The commonly accepted date for the start of A.D. is around 2 to 4 years after Christ was born.

What year was Jesus alive in?

Answering this Question is quite simple if you study the way the calendar was made. There are two distinct portions of years. The B.C. years, and the A.D. years. The B.C. stands for "Before Christ" We don't know for sure how many B.C. years there was but we can guess about 4,500. Those were all the years that took place before Christ was born. When he was born, that started the A.D. years. A.D. is a Latin abbreviation for "In the year of our Lord." So, after Jesus was born, all the years started counting up. This year is A.D. 2009. That means, in the year of our Lord Jesus Christ 2009. That means that Jesus Christ was born 2,009 years ago. I hope that was helpful.
