If biblical scholars are correct, and Jesus was actually born from 4 to 6 BCE, then he was crucified at any age from 37 to 39. So you can look forward to those three birthdays as your "Jesus birthdays" as well!

I'm pretty sure that the New Testament doesn't reference the historical year of his death but rather which year of his life it was...but if it was the 33rd year, than I only have to get through 13 more days! But yes, Jesus really was ahead of his time. =)

Luke's Gospel claims that Jesus was born while Quirinius was governor of Syria, which was 4-6 BCE.

[angelenroute]

Yes, I already knew that Jesus was born around 6 BCE (hence my joke about being born ahead of his time because 0000 was the original year set incorrectly)...but I digress. =) Jesus' 33rd year of life would be 26-27 AD. But that has nothing to do with any of what I said. Jesus' ministry and death came in the thirty-third year of his life according to the New Testament and that is all I was saying.

aww don't worry about it...@ work we were teasing a co-worker who's turning 50 & an older co-worker overheard & said "i'd take 50 again!" so it's all relative...when you're 50 & you watch this video, your 50 year old self will yell at the screen "stupid kid, i'll take 33 again!"...get over it!

btw if you start to grow a beard & wear sandals, i'll never hang w/you again jk :P

p.s. if I start to grow a beard and wear sandals, be afraid...if I do that and start quoting scripture, you have my permission to have me committed

[angelenroute]

absolutely correct of course and all is relative, I agree...I think we should all be required to talk to people in their 70s and up at least once every 10 years in our teens through 60s...like a really in-depth conversation about making the most of our time...thanks michael! =)

thank you chris...and you're totally right about focusing on the future...I have never planned on living too long but whatever time left I have is my future and my time to make my mark, thanks for the reminder!

[angelenroute]

thank you sweetie =) I should be safe from crucifixion, you're right, but I may still play the martyr every now and then ;-)

First, I hope you have a great birthday! In response to 33, I want to lend my support, but cannot comment on it because I haven't gotten there myself, yet. Many people believe that age is just a number and the only thing that matters is who you are. Also, it seems like your are focusing on the 33 years that have passed, what about the 77 years ahead of you? There are many exciting things to come!
