'Jesus 'may have visited England', says Scottish academic

[ktallett]

julian calender does refer to 365 and a half days. it started the leap year every 4 years. As im trying to make a point in the context of the age when jesus was alive i am using the one calendar type (julian) that was actually avaliable to him in that day and age (the julian calendar was possibly one he followed, of course the gregorian wasnt as the calendar hadnt been reformed to the gregorian stage at that point in time (gregorian). It wasnt reformed until 16th century so up to that point no such thing as a gregorian calendar. In a sense the reform  was to do with jesus' death. It was changed to celebrate easter at the same time as  the council of nicea decided it should be in 325AD. So jesus' followed julian calender and we follow gregorian although very minor differences between the two. So in the context i meant the julian calendar is correct.

thanks, but i understand the concept of anachronism, by your logic you would have to have written in aramaic, as that was the language available to JC.

Gregorian is correct as it defines the 'AD' part of it, julian simply defines the length of the year which is irrelevant to the point.

im pleased you get that. Although AD was added whilst the julian calendar was the main calendar system in circulation . Was added so they could compute the date of the christian easter festival. I was incorrect in using AD infact as i was just reading into this situation it seems as though the suffix would be Ab urbe condita  and the year would be around 770 Ab urbe condita. By the way the julian calendar refers to much more than just 365 and a half day. It was the major calendar system for just over a millenium and a half until the pope gregory reformed the calendar and that was then adopted by the majority of the christian world yet took many years. Just like teh julian calendar was simply the roman calendar reformed. Julian calendar was the most dramatic transformation of any calendar and the earliest adoption of a calendar similar to what we recoqnise today. Although noth really the first calendar system to have 365 days as the roman calendar (i believe lunar calendar) had months with 304 days then 61 days of winter not assigned to any months. If i could of (lack of keyboard functionality and time) i would have happily wrote it in another semitic language (arabic as i dont know any aramaic)

didnt say it was just 365 and a quarter days, that was just the immediate and relevant facet, but your meanderings were highly illuminating.


Anyway, how much does Jesus love crucifixion?


This much.



Geddit?
Sean, i'd make an S&M joke about the crucifixion but thats in bad taste.

2Na I was going to also this morning..... but then something inside of me said  'go in peace' something like that...    something held me back, but since I'm on my 14th work hour for the day....  I gave in slightly to temptation.

... Funny thing is that I did a google search this morning for SNM because I couldn't remember how it was spelled out ...
