Tradition states that he was crucified at age 33 for our sins, died and rose again.

Unfortunalely tradition has serious problems

Jeus born in time of Herod the Great (d.4BCE)
John the Baptist began his ministry in 28CE
Jesus began his ministry sometime after that
Jesus's ministry lasted 3 years

Do the math.

John the Baptist began his ministry in 28CE

Where did you get that date from?

Now Jesus Himself began His ministry at about thirty years of age, Luke 3:23

Three years of ministry makes Him about 33 at the time of the crucifixion.

No one has yet mentioned the celibate tradition of the Qumran community (which produced the Dead Sea Scrolls). Qumran was proof that the celibate lifestyle was operating at that time period in at least one sector of Jewish religious life.

So we must discount the statement that is being thrown around as gospel, "Jesus would not have been accepted as a Rabbi if he was not married." Such a statement would comfort only those who wish to disbelieve in Christianity.

Why the use of the CE when EVERYONE knows the CE is based upon AD - Jesus Christ, True God and True Man.

Good Lord, am I reallly asking this of a guy named "oztrich?
