|6 AD? The dates I have heared are all earlier than that, usually between

6 AD *is* between 7 AD and 4 AD.
I believe he was born, but so far as I know the Bible is the main
source that mentions him and there's a lot of inconsistency there and
the Bible itself is not contemporary with his life. I'm not an
expert, but I was raised in the Methodist church and I have a lot of
respect for Jesus and his ideas, but I'm no longer particularly
religious.
