Featured In not after the fifteenth year.

Tiberius Ceaser reigned from September 17, 14 AD to March 16, 37 AD.

"In the second year" of Tiberius' reign would be between September 15 AD and September 16 AD.

The 15th year of Tiberius Caesar's rein was September 29 AD to September 30 AD.

The reason most Christians reject 30 AD as a possible year of Christ's crucifixion is that this would mean Jesus' ministry lasted about 8 months at the longest.

The most probable year, considering Scripture and Tiberius' reign (e.g., John's account of Christ's ministry) is 33 AD.

I think k it obvious to anybody reading these threads that you have settled on a date and are grasping to make your date work.

You tried using the post-Talmudic Hebrew Calendar. That didn't work because this calendar wasn't used in the 1st century.

Then you used the Talmudic Hebrew Calendar to "prove" your date had to be accurate within 2 days.

You admitted you couldn't know the exact t date but said it didn't matter - this after saying if we did not know the exact date then we could not believe the Resurrection was a historical event.

So now you switch to proving the year in order to use the Talmudic Hebrew Calendar to keep 2 possible dates.


BUT you do this worse than your previous posts.

Tiberius' reign began September 17, 14 AD. You say this means 14 AD was the 2nd year of his reign.

You say this not because it makes sence (it is truly nonsense) but because you seem to think 14 AD has ti be the 2nd year of his reign for the crucifixion to be 30 AD.

For the crucifixion to have occurred in 30 AD Jesus' ministry would have been less than 9 months. But we know it was between 3 and 4 years based on John's Gospel.

Even if we count 3 months and 14 days as 1 year, which you suggest, 30 AD is too early.

That is why most scholars automatically reje t 30 AD. It is too early.

 

September 17, 14 AD was the day his reign started.

September 17, 14 AD is "the first DAY of his reign.

If we knew the hour....say it was 2pm (just to illustrate) them Sept 17, 24 AD at 2pm would be the first HOUR of his reign.



17 Sep 14 AD to 17 Sep 15 AD is the FIRST YEAR of his reign. I

You erroneously claimed that 14 AD was the 2nd year of his reign to make your math work.

 

Look at it this way:

You are placing "in the 1st year" to be BEFORE he reigned.

That is utter nonsense.

 

There is not an AD 0. The 1st century AD ends when the 2nd begins.

But we are talking about the reign of Tiberius, not a calendar.

His reign had a begining (17 Sep 14 AD).

The 1st year of Tiberius' reign was September 14 AD to September 15 AD.

His second year was 15 AD to 16 AD.

 

My memory may be faulty. But doesn't matter.

Sep 14 AD to Sep 15 AD was the 1st year of his reign.

Your counting is off.

 

His investiture by the Senate was on 17 Sep 14 AD. So his reign began on 17 Sep 14 AD and lasted until his death.

 

Yes - Sep 15 AD to Sep 16 AD is the 2nd year of his reign.

Jesus was baptized in the 15th year of his reign.

This would be between Sep 28 AD and Sep 29 AD.

Then Jesus' earthly ministry lasted 3 to 3 1/2 years.

 

Uh....no. There is no year zero. "In the first year" began Sep 14 AD and lasted.....well....a year.

You said that 14 AD was the second year of Tiberius' reign because his reign started Sep 14 AD.

That is asinine. We all know that is false.

The first year of his reign is Sep 14 AD to Sep 15 AD.

You could interpret it as calendar years as well. Here the 1st year would be q4 AD and the 2nd 15 AD.

But it is impossible that 14 AD was the 2nd year of a reign that began in 14 AD.


Biden is in the 4th year of his presidency. His presidency started Jan 2021. By your counting he is in his 5th year of his presidency (2021 being his 2nd year).
