How is the word of God made non effect by us not being sure of the exact age of the Messiah?

It will not be a the ultimate question to earn salvation.

But I can't see how the amount of years Christ was here is worth the space talking about.
Why wouldn't it be important...isn't the truth what we are in search of?...many claim that Jesus was around 27-33 years old when he was crucified, and yet both scripture and history proves he was older than what is being traditionally taught.
Mar 7:13
Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.
Sadly many people would much rather follow tradition and ignore what scripture and history can prove.
I think talking about our Lord (even His age) is worth the space talking about, unlike some of the threads I've seen on here that are down right ridiculous.

1christianwarrior316 I just did the math so Yeshua started at 30 and ended at 33 1/2 Daniel says 70 weeks 490 days.
The math you suggest is 365x3.5 = 1277.5 divided by 7 = 182.5 weeks. How do you fit this to Daniel 9;24 The math doesnt work. How do we get by that with a 33 year old Yeshua?
It would help if you actually took the time to read and understand what people write, before replying. 1Christianwarrior316 is not suggesting Christ was 33 1/2. Why don't you ask those that believe He was 33 1/2 that question?
From post #6 of this thread
Life on earth 30 years.
How do you prove using Scripture and history He was only 30 as you erroneously claim?

It would be making the word of God of none effect by misleading people into believeing a lie. As Christians shouldn't we stand by truth? Granted it won't make or break one's salvation but the truth is always important. If we can see from this one example that sometimes what is traditionally taught is incorrect, then wouldn't it be in our best interest to verify everything we have been taught?

I don't believe He was 33, nor did I say He was 33. Why don't you ask somebody that said He was 33 that question....
Why are you asking me to defend someone elses belief...I don't believe He was 33...didn't you read my post...

In Christ, 1Christianwarrior316

John 8

57Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? 58Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. 59Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
Luke 3

And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph
No older than fifty no younger than 30 in the mortal body sense.

A childish rant attacking me does not prove your point. Nor does your explanation. Do you believe the seventy weeks began when Christ was baptized? I don't. If you do then by all means use Scripture and history to prove it.

No he wasn't lying, it is your interpretation that is in error and as you can see making your post big doesn't help. (but just in case you need glasses and thats why you made it big I"ll make part of mine big too LOL)

So if you believe the seventy weeks began when Christ was baptized use Scripture and history to prove it.

Point out the guess work Daniel or Luke which one is guessing. Hebrew doesnt leave things to the translators. Scripture on scripture Isa. 28;10 I dont need to defend the word of GOD the word of GOD defends itself everything has got to fit.

Sure its important lets have a look at just one of the reasons why it is important.
Mar 7:13 Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.

Traditional doctrines teach Christ was 33 when crucified, but is that what God’s word really tells us or is that making the word of God of none effect? If we can prove from Scripture and history that Christ was 40 when he was crucified then wouldn’t the traditional teaching be making the word of God of none effect, because people ignore what the word tells us in favor of tradition?

If we can prove that just one of the things traditionally taught is in error then shouldn’t we examine all the traditionally taught doctrines in light of Scripture to verify they align with Scripture? And when we find traditionally taught doctrines that don’t align with Scripture, shouldn’t we then set that teaching aside and search for the truth?

2Ti 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth

Are we doing as 2Tim2:15 tells us when we blindly follow traditionally taught doctrines with out verifying if they are Scriptural? I don’t think so!
no it doesn't because his age on Earth had no bearing on the point of why he came. I can believe Christ was 33 when he died and still preach the gospel as well as someone who doesn't. It just is not a big deal. So no that tradition does not make the word of God have no effect.
