“30 A.D. is now accepted by legitimate Biblical Scholars as the actual date of the crucifixion and resurrection.”
So say you. Other legitimate scholars have made arguments - and apparently good ones - that Jesus’ death occured in AD 29, or 30, or 31, or 32 or 33. I have seen arguments made for all of these dates. I also know of a Russian mathematician and astronomer who is convinced that the crucifixion took place in 1085 or so. No, I’m serious. He too believes - much like you seem to - that a Catholic conspiracy hid the real date. And he’s off by 1050 years so go figure! I have no reason to believe your arguments as opposed to believing the Bible and what has always been taught about the Bible.
On the face of it, I find this link as convincing as anything you grabbed off the internet: http://catholicknight.blogspot.com/2007/04/exact-date-of-christs-crucifixion.html
Also, you haven’t proved anything I posted to be fraudulent. You’re simply spinning wheels. Next you’ll make a claim for 1085.
The only thing I have grabbed off the internet is the calendar. Everything else is from the pages of scripture.
Here's what we know. As posted in #78....we know He had a three year ministry from the references in John to the Passovers he celebrated during that ministry. We know that he began his ministry from about the age of 30 [Luke 3:23]. We also know that young Hebrew males did not start their evangelistic works until they were thirty [Numbers 4:3][Numbers 4:23][Numbers 4:29].
We know that He was born before 1085 because Josephus and other historical figures have written of him prior to that (church fathers anyone?) DUH!
The New Testament does not provide us with the exact year but we can certainly delve into other historical sources and determine an approximation of the year. For instance....The days of Herod [Matthew 2:1] and we know when Herod died! So, if Our Lord was alive when Herod was reigning He most certainly had to been born before Herod died.
Josephus [Antiquities Book 14; Chapter 14; Paragraph 5] Antony also feasted Herod the first day of his reign. And thus did this man receive the kingdom, having obtained it on the hundred and eighty-fourth Olympiad, when Caius Domitius Calvinus was consul the second time, and Caius Asinius Pollio [the first time]. An Olympiad is four years, reckoned from July to July. The 184th Olympiad was July 44 B.C. to July 40 B.C. and Calvinus and Pollio were consuls in the year 714 AUC which means....from the founding of Rome.
Herod reigned 37 years [Josephus "Antiquities 17:8:1] so we know that from the mid 40's B.C. during the 184th Olympiad it would place his death around 5/3 B.C. This places Our Saviour's birth to at least this time or before. Herod's reign ended when he died. See how easy it is?
But I realize when facts and scripture go against your tradition....tradition wins every time.
