How many years from Adam and Eve to Jesus?

From a traditional biblical chronology, roughly 4,000 years passed between the creation of Adam and Eve and the birth of Jesus, with specific calculations by scholars like Bishop Ussher placing Adam's creation around 4004 BC and Jesus' birth around 4-2 BC, but this timeline varies due to different biblical interpretations and external historical evidence.

Why did we stop saying BC and AD?

("Before Common Era") and C.E. ("Common Era") in lieu of B.C and A.D. There are a number of reasons for this transition. These include showing sensitivity to non-Christians, and the fact that A.D and B.C. are probably factually inaccurate, since scholars generally believe that Christ was born some years before A.D. 1.

Is BC equal to AD?

This calendar era takes as its epoch the traditionally reckoned year of the conception or birth of Jesus. Years AD are counted forward since that epoch and years BC are counted backward from the epoch. There is no year zero in this scheme; thus the year AD 1 immediately follows the year 1 BC.

How did Romans view homosexuality?

In Ancient Rome, same-sex relations were complex, generally accepted for elite men who took the dominant, penetrative role with partners of lower status (slaves, prostitutes, actors), but condemned if a citizen was penetrated (seen as unmanly), and illicit between freeborn citizens, reflecting concerns over status and Roman masculinity rather than sexual orientation as we know it. The key was power and status, not gender; penetration by a social superior was normal, while being penetrated by a social inferior was shameful.

Is there 100% proof that Jesus existed?

How does God exist without a beginning?

God having no beginning is understood as God existing outside of time, as the uncaused cause or Prime Mover, being eternal and the creator of the time-space continuum we experience, meaning concepts like "beginning" and "end" simply don't apply to His nature, similar to how a movie director exists outside the movie's timeline. It's a concept of being atemporal, not bound by sequential time, unlike everything in our universe which has a start and a cause. 

Whose DNA did Jesus have?

Jesus had human DNA from his mother, Mary, and divine DNA from God the Father, with theologians explaining that God miraculously provided the male chromosomes (Y chromosome) and the "life principle" to form Jesus's human body without a human father, making him both fully human and fully divine. While Mary provided the "substance" of his human nature, God ensured the creation of a unique, sinless human being with both divine and human qualities, combining Mary's genetic contribution with a divine one for the male half. 

Was God alone before creation?

According to Christian theology, God was not alone before creation, existing eternally as the Trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) in perfect, loving communion, a state of complete fellowship and satisfaction, not loneliness or need. Scripture hints at this divine community, with the Word (Jesus) present with God (John 1:1-2) and the Spirit hovering over the formless earth (Genesis 1:2). Creation was an overflow of this inherent love and glory, not to fulfill a need.
