Why is it always the Bible and movies talk or show to us Jesus as a Baby or later as and adult, when he was around 33 and died.
But what about when he was 17 or 20. they dont show any record, Iam always curious where did he go.

HE worked with his step father Joseph as a Carpenter.
HE was a good Jew so studied and talked at the Synagogue or TEMPLE.
HE did not travel far from home.
ALL we need to know is in The BIBLE. We need no more.

He travelled to Egypt to avoid being killed by Herod. It is most likely that jesus came from North Africa and may have been black or at least carried a mediterranean tan so he would have fitted in. There is a coptic church in a suburb of Cairo that claims to have been the hide out.
Actually, no-one knows really whether he really existed or is just a myth or legend like Robin Hood, or King Arthur. I find it unlikey that the Bible, being effectively a collection of diaries or journals, would have not covered the childhood and adolescence of someone claiming to be our saviour.

He was cruising for chicks like any 17 to 20 yr old. He probably became an alcoholic or got hooked on drugs and then found religion.

After a stint in Juvinile Hall, he made his way to Florida where he was arrested during Spring Break for public intoxication. After his realease...
Actually there are a few stories about his younger days...but they are in a collection of books called the Apocrypha and are not considerd cannon.

lotta different ideas, some say he studied in the church, others say he just worked with his father as a carpenter, others say he studied buddhism, some say he performed miracles at those ages as well (such as a kid picks on him he zapps him and brings him back to life. aha that'll teach that kid) however these are all guesses as to what really happened. apparently after he was born, the WISE men werent wise enough to follow him or document anything about his growing up. (youd think if the savior was born, and it was known by more then mary and joseph, SOMEONE would document SOMETHING on him.??

He was busy being a carpenter before he began his ministry and there just wasn't much to tell about.

Don has the right answer. It's so tacky how these idiots want to attack God when ever someone mentions his name. I don't wanna be standing next to them in a lightning storm
