April 3, AD 33.

Go back and read the verses I quoted in post #63.

No, the question is was this a miracle or was it medically possible for a corpse to remain good for 72 hours under the conditions of His burial?

By the way, Hal Lindsey agrees with you.

Dr. Andreas Köstenberger is senior research professor at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in Wake Forest, North Carolina thinks that the date of the first Good Friday can be established as April 3, AD 33.

He says:

This author concludes that Jesus was most likely crucified on April 3, AD 33. While this is not a salvation truth and while other dates are possible, believers can take great assurance from the fact that the most important historical events in Jesus’s life, such as the Crucifixion, are firmly anchored in human history. The same is true for all of the Bible’s history, including creation and humanity’s rebellion in the Garden that brought death into the world and made Christ’s Crucifixion necessary.

When we celebrate Easter, and as we walk with Jesus every day of the year, we can be confident that our faith is based not only on subjective personal assurance but on reliable historical data, which makes ours an eminently reasonable faith.

Placing the Cross in History

I thought Jesus was born around 3 or 4 B.C.

That is fine if you believe the Roman Catholic myth that Jesus was crucified on Friday and only spent a day and a half in the tomb.

Sundown Friday to sundown Saturday = 24 hours.
Sundown Saturday to sunup Sunday = 12 hours.

Jesus in the tomb 36 hours. A day and a half.

So much for the bible.

Matt 12:40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

Matt 27:63 Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again.

Mark 8:31 And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.

Hey, on what year do you think Jesus was born? I was always taught that He was born either year 4 or 3 B.C.

Herod the Great ordered the slaughter of the Innocents just before his death in 4 BC. Jesus would have been an infant at the time.

Jesus assumed his earthly ministry when He was "about 30 years old." 3 1/2 years later He was crucified. That would place the beginning of His ministry in 27 AD, 31 years after the death of Herod and His birth.

Sounds about right

So you dispute when the 15th year of Tiberius was also.

The dating of the reign of Tiberius was most likely according to Luke's Syro-Macedonian calendar using inclusive reckoning from Dios. This was likely the method by which Luke reckoned the reign of Tiberius. This was from October 20, 27 to October 9, 28. So, 27 fits that too.

Huh? So you disagree with the Roman Senate record?

 

[church mouse guy]

If Rome used the Julian calendar, and we only have an event and not a date in Scripture, why is it wrong to use 29 AD?
