So I had a conversation with a teen... They asked.. What proof is there that Jesus existed... The bible was written by man, how do we know its true? I replied... Show me a book NOT written by man that you believe. All other books are written by humans and yet you believe their historical, linguistic, mathematic significance and yet when it comes to Jesus, he doesnt exist ? Because it was in a book written by man? Its curious to note that, that same teen believed the existence of Pontis Pilate, Julius Caesar, and the Roman Empire... And Has learned about the way we track time. BC/AD It is also interesting to note that the purpose of the B.C./A.D. dating system was to make the birth of Jesus Christ the dividing point of world history. However, when the B.C./A.D. system was being calculated, they actually made a mistake in pinpointing the year of Jesus’ birth. Scholars later discovered that Jesus was actually born around 6—4 B.C., not A.D. 1. That is not the crucial issue. The birth, life, ministry, death, and resurrection of Christ are the “turning points” in world history. It is fitting, therefore, that Jesus Christ is the separation of “old” and “new.” B.C. was “before Christ,” and since His birth, we have been living “in the year of our Lord.” Viewing our era as “the year of our Lord” is appropriate. Philippians 2:10–11 says, “That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
