What did Jesus do with all the treasure he received from 3 kings when he was born? Not in The Bible-is it?

Question

One does not here much of Joseph and Mary after the child is born but we find Mary by her sons side later in life-What are the last words written regarding Joseph? I mean this kid was born under a star and was given tons of stuff-and at 13 was going to parties that requiered more alcohol than was needed-I am one that believes in Practice what you preach-so perhaps Jesus gave it all away so that he could follow himself-obviously he had the power to never go hungry-he-oh why waste my time! All of todays Christians use Jesus as a way to forgive themselves for the lives the lead which are filled with prejudice (If you are christian YOU R SAVED-if I am not-I am condemed to OUR HELL-is the most prejudiced statement anyone can say because you are saying I should suffer for not believing like you do-like I should be a slave to your beliefs!) There is absolutely none of you that if Jesus came to the world today would give up the luxery of being an American-A Country THAT ESCAPED MONARCHIESgoUSA

One does not HEAR much-about all the money Judas had that was donated to this congregation either because you must know that jesus was constantly on the take as they passed the box like all churches do-He didn't make loaves and fishes everyday-he had to buy something sometime-I wonder what kind of money was used back then-do you know? Wasn't it Roman coins-Give to Ceasar what is Romes and God what is JeZus' or something like that

Answer 1

You have taken the words of the most sacred of books and twisted them around to your disillusioned way of thinking. Do not mess with anythng you know nothing (obviously) about.

Answer 2

The treasures that were delivered by the Magi were most likely used to pay for the trip that Joseph, Mary, and Jesus made to Egypt. There would have been none left since it is most likely what they lived on while Joseph was away from Nazareth.

Jesus was presented at the Temple when he was 12. It was not a party.

There is nothing said of Joseph after the time when Jesus was presented at the Temple. Tradition holds that Joseph died sometime between then and when Jesus began his ministry at age 30.

And no, I don't use Jesus as a way of forgiving myself. God sent Jesus, his only Son, so that I might be forgiven by receiving Jesus as my Savior.

No I'm not perfect, I still make mistakes. But through Jesus Christ, I am accepted by God as one of His own. It's a choice I made. It's a choice that everyone must make.

I also have no choice about being an American, I was born here. That makes me an American no matter where I go or what I do. I have nonetheless gone on several short mission trips overseas. There are thousands of Christians who do so every year, some leave for a much as three years at a time.

Finally, I do not condemn you to hell. Neither does God. You condemn yourself. If in the next life you find yourself condemned to hell, you have only yourself to blame. The choice is yours. Accept God and His provision of salvation or reject God and His provision of salvation. It's that simple.

Answer 3

I think you miss the point in your question. It would be interesting to know what happened to the money, but relatively inconsequential. The important thing was that He came to triumph over death and be the perfect sacrifice for our sins. Please don't stereotype Christians. It is not supposed to be a prejudicial statement. It is that if you believe in God and that Jesus died for our sins then you will be saved. If you choose not to believe that there is a God, then why would you be upset when you don't get to spend eternity with Him in heaven since you don't care or didn't think he existed? What I am trying to say is why do you worry about hell if you think there is no God? You must have doubts. I hope you find the truth. You do realize that science is faith too. Have you ever witnessed a monkey evolve into a human? Did you see the big bang? Do you believe that there is such thing as cold? There isn't. It is just a term to denote the lack of heat. Cold is not an actual energy or thing, but heat is. You can have no heat, a little heat, or a lot of heat, but you can't have cold. Yet, you believe that there is cold. The same goes for darkness. You can have no light, a little light, or a lot of light, but you can't have darkness. Hundreds of years ago logic told people that the world was flat and that earth was the center of the universe with everything revolving around them. Please take this into consideration.

Answer 4

The Bible also does not say how much the kings brought. Maybe it was enough to last only a year or two. We really do not know much about Jesus before he became a public figure. As to what happened to Joseph - some scholars believe that he died before Jesus started his ministry. Jesus did not require money when he was in his ministry because he stayed and ate with people who were his disciples and friends. He taught him as their rabbi, and they provided him sustenance.

Answer 5

Christ was not born Jesus and his mother never uttered this one-third Greek, one-third Latin, one-third Hebrew name of Jesus on her child.

The Lord God of Israel commanded that the name of the child would be Immanuel and his mother would never have disobeyed the Lord God of Israel.

The Angel of the Lord who suggested the name of Jesus was none other than Zeus, the Sun God of Roman Paganism, and this came many yaers after Christ, inGospels that were written after and about the crucifixion of the thieves named Jesus by Pagan Rome, and this Trick was used only in an attempt to enhance Roman Pagan Worship of Zeus, and do you still find yourself being sucked into this Hoax of the Crucified Jesus?

Answer 6

first of all, Jesus is the one who said [the only way for salvation is to be born again] no one else! christians are only telling the world what God wants us to teach in order for all to get to heaven. it's the christians' commission by God. secondly, Jesus was poor so He could lead a humble lifestyle in order to fit in with the masses during His ministry. praise God that He arranged to put it upon chosen individuals' hearts to financially support Christ's early ministry. He was always invited into people's homes to stay and sup with them. Christ had no worries because He had His Father in Heaven whom He trusted till the end like we are to do.

Answer 7

I think you are on to something - is might be an even greater scandal than what was written in the DaVinci Code - I think I hear a possible best seller.

Answer 8

Hold up, we never said that you would go to hell, God just wants you to repent. Even if you don't repent, you won't go to hell, only if you've committed a huge sin, and didn't feel too guilty about it. You would just go to Purgatory. You see the difference? And I have no clue about what happened to the treasure.

Answer 9

Why are you bitchin bout this stuff anyway... you don't like it don't choose it.

people make choices in their lives and they are happy about it, are you happy with yours? if that were the truth you wouldn't be on such a big spiel about history. its relegated to history. devote time and energy to what your doing!

Answer 10

the bible never states there were three kings/wisemen.It does mention Christ did recieve three gifts.That is our own assumption of the three kings.
It could have been one king with three gifts or five kings with three gifts
