B.C. A.D. If Jesus lived to 33 or so than what were the years that he was alive called?

For example 1 B.C than turns into 1 A.D. What about the years that he lived. What are they called?

B.C. A.D. If Jesus lived to 33 or so than what were the years that he was alive called?
A.D. means Anno Domino, or in the year of our Lord, not after his death, they were supposedly the years after Jesus' birth.
Reply:Man that is a good question, I don't know!! Hope someone else knows and answers (LOL)...
Reply:ummm, 1AD, 2AD, 3AD, 4AD....this is really rather basic. Did you by chance go to kindergarten?








hey moron, AD stands for Anno Domini as in "in the year of our Lord"





pull your head out for all of us, ok?








And sweetpea, way down there, it was NOT the C.E. until very recently. Crack a book once in awhile. The internet is a poor place to educate yourself.
Reply:The turning point was his birth. His 33 years are 1AD to 33AD, unless you take into account the Julian/Gregorian calendar glitch that has him actually born in 4BC.
Reply:They are generally referred to as A.D.; that is the 7th year he was alive was 7 A.D., etc.
Reply:A.D. doesn't stand for "After Death," it stands for "Anno Domini," or "Year of Our Lord." So if the calendar were right, it would mean he lived from 1 A.D. to 33 A.D. Unfortunately, the man who designed the calendar used the wrong dates, and didn't take into account a 0 year, so Jesus was probably really born between 6 B.C. and 3 B.C. And he was 33 when he died.
Reply:in the 3rd or 4th century, the romans adopted the B.C. because they believe Jesus was born in the year 0 or Anno Domini (year of the Lord. meant for the caesar since romans werent christians back then. some sources claim that He was actually born in 4 B.C.
Reply:You might want to keep persisting with your version of the acronym AD, but the rest of the world knows it to be Anno Domini. The Anno Domini system was developed by a monk named Dionysius Exiguus (born in Scythia Minor) in Rome in 525, as an outcome of his work on calculating the date of Easter. I doubt very much that the monk was conversant with English words like after and death :).





The period that Jesus was alive is debated. Dionysius had calculated the birth of Christ to be December 25, AD 1, the Annunciation, March 25, AD 1. Thus, in the 6th century, the "AD" era began with March being the first month, and with the Annunciation, not Christ's birth. According to this dating, Christ was crucified in AD 33.





It is now generally believed that Jesus was born in 4 BC, approximately.
Reply:He was 36 years old.


He was born in 3 BCE and died in 33 AD


BCE is known as Before Common Era (another way of saying BC)
Reply:i have no idea!
Reply:During much of the Roman times (during which Jesus lived) the years were simply recorded by who was the consul that year.
Reply:Missing link.
Reply:neither-it was the C.E. "Common Era" or the approximate birth year of Jesus
Reply:sndsouza has the best and the correct answer. I would like to add that the phrase Anno Domini is Latin. The calendar that we use is called the Gregorian Calendar because it was established during the reign of a Pope Gregory. He is also the Pope after which Gregorian chants are named.





The terms C.E and B.C.E. meaning Common Era and Before the Common Era are bows to political correctness. They take Jesus out of the equation in order to accommodate non-Christians. This doesn't change the time line just the nomenclature.
Reply:b.c. goes directly into A.D..which translates "in the year of our Lord"....hence the years that he was alive
Reply:To clarify one of the answers already given:





AD does not stand for "After Death". It stands for "Anno Domini", meaning "In the year of the Lord". Before Christ's birth is BC, after His birth (including the years He was alive) is AD.
Reply:AD = Anno Domine (year of our lord)


BC = Before Christ





So it's 1-33 AD.


The Romans did not number their years but named them.


"The dominant method that the Romans used to identify a year for dating purposes was to name it after the two consuls who took office in it. Since 153 BC, they had taken office on 1 January, and Julius Caesar did not change the beginning of the year. Thus this consular year was an eponymous or named year. Roman years were named this way until the last consul was appointed in 541. Only rarely did the Romans number the year from the founding of the city (of Rome), ab urbe condita (AUC). This method was used by Roman historians to determine the number of years from one event to another, not to date a year. "
