those years werent all that silent heres some verses from when he was a kid
And the child grew and became strong; he was filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him.
The Boy Jesus at the Temple
41Every year his parents went to Jerusalem for the Feast of the Passover. 42When he was twelve years old, they went up to the Feast, according to the custom. 43After the Feast was over, while his parents were returning home, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem, but they were unaware of it. 44Thinking he was in their company, they traveled on for a day. Then they began looking for him among their relatives and friends. 45When they did not find him, they went back to Jerusalem to look for him. 46After three days they found him in the temple courts, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions. 47Everyone who heard him was amazed at his understanding and his answers. 48When his parents saw him, they were astonished. His mother said to him, "Son, why have you treated us like this? Your father and I have been anxiously searching for you."
49"Why were you searching for me?" he asked. "Didn't you know I had to be in my Father's house?" 50But they did not understand what he was saying to them.
51Then he went down to Nazareth with them and was obedient to them. But his mother treasured all these things in her heart. 52And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.

Within the 18 years (12-30) he was growing up, being prepared for his ministry. If God calls someone for a service, he must first prepare that person for that service. Moses was prepared for 40 years. Elijah was prepared for 40 days. and a lot of others. So Christ was being prepared for those years.
For your second question, Jesus Christ is God and is ALL KNOWING, ALL SEEING AND EVERYWHERE. HE DOES NOT POSSESS ANY SPECIAL SPIRITUAL SKILLS TO WORK! HE IS A SPIRIT AND GOD. HE DOES NOT NEED TO KNOW. KNOWLEGE IS BUT ONE OF HIS CREATIONS.
Just read the Bible small. At least some of those things he did and said. You will be more convinced.

We don't know much because the Bible doesn't tell us much. He grew up in a family with a numberr of children, He was a Carpenter. His siblings did not support him until later in his life and seemed to almost mock Him. Not much more, but then again that is not the important part of His life. Maybe if God told us more we would get people writing fictional stories like the DaVinci Code about Him. A little knowledge is often more dangerous that a lot.

1. Jesus was never silent, he used to talk when he was 2 days old.
2. He was even able to give life to the dead, beside other special skills he possessed.

His 18 years of silence involved five pogo stick acts, twelve professional abdominal forklift contracts, and a ten minute skit where he mocked God as he created the Earth. There were a lot of special effects, and reasonably, it took many years of preparation for him to get the skit just right. The army came close to drafting him, but he was able to claim that he was married. Whether or not he was is till under debate.
He knows the secret of wu tang. This in it self grants him the skills of unspeakable power.

1. Most of the scholars believe that Jesus continued his life. He was a carpenter like his father.....remember... most people who do not like him would say... "is he not Jesus, the son of Joseph, the carpenter?"
2. According to tradition, a young jew ages 12 years old should study in the synagogue. So like most of the Jews that time... he studied under the tutelage of the priests.....
His special skills include carpentry (using stones not wood.... its scarece i nthat area), healing, miracles, etc.
hope i have helped you...

1.) Do you think that they are called silent years, but for some reason they really weren't and someone on Yahoo Answers has the answer and is waiting to give it to you, FREE, thereby giving up a life of luxury by using it to blackmail the catholics??
2.) See answer to # 1 and insert diary.

I was not there and am exceedingly skeptical of reports from uneducated fish mongers and a lineage of thousands of years .
Hell most people have a hard enough time trusting the simple chain of integrity for courtroom indicia.

Jesus was preaching the word of the Father. He was a carpenter He has all the intellect, and skills as He's the son of God.
