Those who believe the bible will only believe Jesus was about 33 years old.
This is a really good example of how politics formed the bible and how easy it is for man to be misguided, even though the bible is good for instruction in righteousness, Jesus was Not 33 when he died!
because he was born between 4 and 7 B.C. if he was born in 7bc that wouldve made him 40 when he died. So how old was he again?

No one knows, and anyone who thinks that they do is just kidding themselves.

Well for one thing, the Bible does not say how old Jesus was. so the idea, that you get, can only be from pictures you have seen about Jesus, which people paint of him. Well the truth is no man of today, knows what Jesus looked like, what pictures you see are just made up images.
So you think he was about 33? how from some pictures people have drawn or painted. which are not real. is that all you have to go by? so as you say? SO HOW OLD WAS HE THEN? most of the time I just ignore a - -
Sorry but a - - ( Stupid ) - - questions like this. but I starting to seeing more and more questions like this, that I just have to say something. why do people dream up things like this? and do not take time to think them out, before hand.
Sorry, I do not mean to insult you, or anyone it's the questions that mean nothing and has no ground that bother me. Like I said, I usually, never take the time to answer something like this. but I guess I will have too, so there will not be so many.

Most people agree from Bible Citations he was about 32 or 33 when he was crusified (based on his stated age of 30 we he started his ministry and the figure of 3 years doing it).
As for is birth, it's date varies from 7 BC to 7 AD
There are some writings from Pilate we can draw from.
We can also draw from when Herod was around.
We can also draw from why Herod was in Jerusalem that day. I mean that wasn't his base of operations.
It's a sociolological and anthropolical and historical puzzle and the best scholars have worked on it. Even Isaac Newton who provided a date of the Crusifiction. I'm not sure I agree with his conclusions, but he was a great researcher, knew many great historians and scientists, asked loads of questions and was good at math. His figures could have some merits.

Jesus ministry began in the 15th year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar. That would be Aug 19,in the 28th year or up to August 18 in the year 29 Chapter 3 of Luke says that Jesus was ABOUT 3o years old when John baptised him and he began his ministry. 30 years ealier was the year 2 BC. Herod was King until his death in 4 BC Herod wanted to destroy Jesus, fearing he would replace him as king. His decree required that all children under two be killed. Herod was using the information given to him by the wise men as his guide. This would seem to make Jesus birth not in the year 2 BC, but perhaps as early as 6.
So, Jesus- being ABOUT 30 when he was baptised by John
may have in fact been 33. He ministered for three years That would of course men that he was crucified at the age of 36

Born in Fall of 2BCE (possibly October)
Died in Spring of 33 CE (March 29 or 31, I can't remember off top)
Factor in the lack of a zero year connecting our Common Christian Era and the time Before our Common Era (yeah, 4got about that, huh?)
Looks like Jesus was about 33 1/2 when he died.

Yes I believe in the Bible because it is God's Word and I am not misguided.Jesus was 33...Read the Bible......Since the discovery of the Dead Sea Scroll the accuracy of the Bible has been verified.

And you think that this makes a big difference to anyone or anything? Comes under the " useless facts" that very Christian needs to know. What if he was 50, so what?
Btw, no birth records were kept then, at least not official ones that can be easily traced.
Most people lost track of their age and it didn't matter anyhow. One was a child. A young person. Or an adult. Or a older adult. Didn't matter at all. Just like the debate of his date of birth not being Dec. 25, who cares? Useless info.
