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.
