Dating the Birth of Jesus Christ

Saturday October 14, 2006
From the forum:
    "If the calculations of Dionysius Exiguus for placing the birth of Jesus Christ at 753 AUC (= 0 C.E.) ... places his birth after the death of Herod (4 B.C.E.), would this not mess with any calculations when it comes to using the Bible as a means of dating events?"
