→Was Our Divine Lord and Savior really born in 4 B.C.?
:Honestly, I've never considered the exact date to be of much importance. I've just assumed that it was around the time of what is now the calendar change, and figured that was close enough. I am not aware of any new information available to us now, which they didn't have when they changed the calendar.

:Jesus was executed at about 33 years of age, so based on the time Pilate was governor, Jesus must have been born between 7 B.C. and 3 A.D. That has always seemed close enough to me. --[[User:DavidB4|<font color="ForestGreen">DavidB4</font>]] <sup>([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]])</sup> 22:39, 3 May 2020 (EDT)
:Jesus was executed at about 33 years of age, so based on the time Pilate was governor, Jesus must have been born between 7 B.C. and 3 A.D. It also seems that that Pilate was somewhat established at the time of Jesus' execution, so he must have been in office for at least a few years by then. (Pilate's tradition of releasing one criminal each year was well established at this point.) That has always seemed close enough to me. --[[User:DavidB4|<font color="ForestGreen">DavidB4</font>]] <sup>([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]])</sup> 22:39, 3 May 2020 (EDT)
