What does A.D. mean when talking about the year? and When was jesus born?

Question

if AD means after death then when was jesus born. 33BC? because he was 33 years old when he died?

Answer 1

Jesus evidentily was born in the month of Ethanim (September-October) of the year 2 B.C.E. (before Common era), was baptized about the same time of the year in 29 C.E., and died about 3:00 pm on Friday, the 14th day of the spring month of Nisan (March-April), 33 C.E.

"CE stands for "Common Era." It is a relatively new term that is experiencing increased usage and is expected to eventually replace AD.
"AD" is an abbreviation for "Anno Domini" in Latin or "the year of the Lord" in English. It acknowledges that Yeshua of Nazareth (a.k.a. Jesus Christ) is God. It is based on an incorrect estimate of the birth of Yeshua of Nazareth (a.k.a. Jesus Christ). There is a widespread but incorrect belief that "AD" represents "After Death." CE and AD have the same value. That is, 2006 CE = 2006 AD. BCE stands for "Before the common era." It is expected to eventually replace BC.
"BC" means "Before Christ," or "Before the Messiah." ("Christ" is derived from the Greek word for Messiah.) BC and BCE are also identical in value."

Answer 2

AD means Anno Domini [ year of the lord ]. Jesus was born Aug , 21 , 7 BC. The confusion is due to changes made to the calender by Julius Caesar and Pope Gregory. More in "Urantia Book.

Answer 3

AD means after the coming of Jesus, but it is generally believed we got the date wrong due to calendar changes and other factors. Jesus was said to be born around 4-6 years before or after the date thus Jesus died somewhere between 24 AD and 36 AD.

There is some debate over the exact time frame.

Answer 4

It actually means "Anno domini", which is the year of our Lord. And technically, Jesus was born 2006 years ago according to our calendar, but centuries & two milleniums later, we really can't be sure can we? I've read that His birthday is March, but we just can't be sure. We don't have records from then like we do now, ya know?! So even if we're wrong, I am sure Jesus understands our interests are sincere.:o]

Answer 5

A.D. does not mean after death - it means Anno Domini (in the year of our Lord). Because of discrepancies in the modern calendar it is estimated that Jesus was actually born 4 b.c.

Answer 6

No, A.D. means...in the year of our Lord! AD stands for Anno Domini! How could Jesus have been born in 'Before Christ'? He was born somewhere around 3AD...but it's not exact!

Answer 7

There is not one single mention of Jesus in the entire Roman record - that is right - not one!!! At the same time as he was supposed to have been around there were a number of Jews claiming to be the messiah - all of whom are well recorded!! There is not a single contemporary record from any source and even the bible mentions of him like all other references were not written until many years after his supposed death!! He was supposed to have been a huge problem to the Romans and produced wonderful miracles but still not one contemporary record? Even the bible mentions of him like all other references were not written until many years after his supposed death!! Pilate is recorded in the Roman record as a somewhat lack luster man but no mention of a Jesus, a trial or crucifixion that would surely have been used to make him look brighter!! At best he was an amalgam of those others!! The Roman Emperor Constantine produced the bible and he was a pagan not god!!! He also organized Christianity into the Holly Roman Catholic Church!! Not in Israel or any of the countries of supposed origin but entirely ITALIAN!! Not one word of it is contemporary with the period and was not written until several hundred years after the period the story is set in!! How did the apostles write their books more than a hundred years after they would have been dead? What a wonder full disinformation and deception campaign he waged against his Christian enemies - so good in fact that Christians are still following the deception to this day!!!

Answer 8

A.D. means Anno Domini, meaning "In the year of the lord" or at least I believe...

As for you question about Jesus, there are many questionable years to when he died. One theory is that he died in the year "0".

Sorry if it's not specific...but that's about all I know :)

Answer 9

B.C means Before Christ and A.D means Anno Domini which is also "The year of Our Lord". It's possible it can mean after death but we won't be so sure.

Jesus was born 0 A.D so it basically means it IS the year of the Lord and died on 33 A.D. Any event before Jesus' birth will be in date of B.C but after will be in A.D so right now we are in 2006 A.D

But it's still possible for reasearchers to believe it can mean After Death but B.C means Before Christ.

Answer 10

Anno Domini(Latin: "In the year of (Our) Lord[1]"), abbreviated as AD, defines an epoch based on the traditionally-reckoned year of the conception or birth of Jesus of Nazareth. Similarly, Before Christ (from the Ancient Greek "Christos" or "Anointed One", referring to Jesus), abbreviated as BC, is used in the English language to denote years before the start of this epoch. Some non-Christians use the abbreviations AD and BC without intending to acknowledge the Christian connotation. Some people prefer the alternatives 'CE' and 'BCE', arguing that they are more neutral terms (see below).

The designation is used to number years in the Christian Era, conventionally used with the Julian and Gregorian calendars. More fully, years may be also specified as Anno Domini Nostri Iesu Christi ("In the Year of Our Lord Jesus Christ"). 'Anno Domini' dating was first calculated in 525 and began to be adopted in Western Europe during the eighth century.

The numbering of years per the Christian era is currently dominant in many places around the world, in both commercial and scientific use. For decades, it has been the global standard, recognized by international institutions such as the United Nations and the Universal Postal Union. This is due to the prevalence of Christianity in the Western world, the great influence of the Western world on science, technology and commerce, as well as the fact that the solar Gregorian calendar has, for a long time, been considered to be astronomically correct.[2]

Traditionally English copies Latin usage by placing the abbreviation before the year number for AD, but after the year number for BC; for example: 64 BC, but AD 2006. However, the placing of the AD after the year number (as in 2006 AD) is now also common, while, analogous to the use of BC, the abbreviation is also widely used after the number of a century or millennium, as in 4th century AD or 2nd millennium AD, despite the inappropriate literal combination in this case ("in the 4th century in the year of Our Lord").

Answer 11

A.D. stands for Anno Domini. it does not actually translate to after death, but it does actually mean after the death of Christ. No one knows the exact date of Jesus' birth, but it is agreed among most scholars to be sometime before 4 B.C. I hope that helped some.
