can someone point out to Raj that Christ did not commence his ministry until he was first baptised in the Jordan river at about the age of thirty
(Luke 3:23) . . .Furthermore, Jesus himself, when he commenced his work, was about thirty years old, being the son, as the opinion was, of Joseph,. . .
I forgot you have a special JW version of the Bible. My version says nothing about "when he commenced his work".

I've brought this up once or twice before but didn't really get a rsponse.
As far as I understand nothing is known about Jesus' life up until the age of 30.
If anyone does know , or thinks they know, could you please share it with me?
Also I would love to hear any speculations about whhat they think Jesus was doing for the first 30 years of his life.
Now Jesus himself was about thirty years old when he began his ministry. He was the son, so it was thought, of Joseph - NIV

We are trying to make an intelligent guess of what he did between 12 and 30.
So far your comments are a guess but not intelligent.
Originally posted by karoly aczelThere is very little written about Jesus' life prior to His ministry. The aforementioned passage about His being found in the temple at age 12 is pretty much it. All we get is that He "grew in stature."

It's a good question and I'm sure many minds sharper than mine have pondered it over the centuries. There are stories in some of the fake gospels about Jesus bringing a dead bird to life, and something about Him killing a playmate (and resurrecting him, I believe). I even heard that there's one story where Joseph has to reprimand Jesus, reminding Him not to misuse His "superpowers" (very Spidernman-ish!). But all that is rubbish.

this is a statement that is refuted by scripture, has no basis whatsoever, i will repeat that, no basis whatsoever in scripture, in tradition, in custom or in common sense, and should be discarded as one would a used condom, with the thumb and forefinger!
(((((There is a possible reason why it would have been easy for Christ to travel, and it has to do with the wise men guided by God to the point where Christ was at birth. They were from the east and prominent priests. Its likely they would have checked up on Christ during his boyhood and taken him with them at some point.)))))))
What the heck Raj??? These were astrologers and hired by Herod to let him know where the Messiah was at so he could kill him!!!!!!!!
Oh my..... You need to read your Bible.....

Ops .. I forgot that JWs are mostly low IQ people who cant read and write properly.
Read what the Bible says instead spewing out your JW version. These were wise men from the east guided by a star from God to Jerusalem. When Herod found out that a Messiah is born, THEN he contacted them to try to find out where Christ was. The Wise Men were independent of Herod and not hired by anybody.
Originally posted by robbie carrobieThe scripture has nothing of the life of Christ between 12 and 30. How can scripture possibly refute anything in that time period?
