Did Jesus Die at 33, or Was He Closer to 50? And More Questions

Audio only:

Tradition says Jesus was 33 when He died, but did early Church Fathers like St. Irenaeus suggest otherwise? Tim Staples explores this question and more, including Mary’s virginity, swearing as a sin, and historical accounts of Jesus’ miracles.

Questions Covered: 

  • 08:39 - Can you explain Jesus’ age when he died? St. Irenaeus seems to say Jesus died around the age of 50?
  • 17:08 - Is there a list of spiritual faculties?
  • 29:45 - Did Jesus know Mary was a virgin? Did he introduce her to people as “my virgin mother”?
  • 42:28 - If I swear or use vulgar language, is that a mortal sin?
  • 46:26 - Since Josephus was Jewish, did he include Jesus’ raising of the dead in his histories?
  • 51:09 - Should I house my sister who lives with her female partner if she loses her job?
