We seem to read a lot into what christ didn't address specifically in the bible, don't we? We insist homosexuals are an abomination because Jesus never addressed it in the new testament, so the old testament rules, which christians don't to follow anyway, are still in effect--however we have no Idea what he was doing from the time he was ten to the time he was thirty, do we? Pieces of the tale have been left out. Why can't we admit that these books were written by mere mortal FALLABLE men with their own agendas? Or that Christ did not always have an audience recording his every move? There are websites showing proof from the bible that Christ may have had lovers, but you denounce it all as mistranslation and insist that Christ never had sex at all--how many people would he have invited to watch if he'd had? We have such a thorough and in depth study of his life that every time he went potty he had 12 witnesses recording it in the bible right?

you are right Christ did not address homosexuality. but, it says in mark ch 5:36 (chapter 5 verse 36), 'Be Not Afraid, Only Believe'. and 'Jesus came so that man no more may die'. yes people die on earth. but this phrase means that when Jesus died on the cross He made it so all you had to do was believe in the Trinity (God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit) to go to heaven.
you are right, there are times when Jesus' movements were not recorded. yes, we Christians do denounce the insinuation that Jesus was married and had sex. that's only becuz we have no proof to support this. yes there are new gospels but some interfere with the ones that are in the bible, so they are disgarded. i say that even if Jesus was married that wouldn't change the fact that Jesus was the Son of God. but if that were true, the entire Christian faith would change a bit. the Catholic faith would stop worshiping/honoring Mary, Jesus' mother, and start worshiping Mary Magdeline as Jesus' wife. becuz in the bible it states that when you marry someone you become one with that person. and if Jesus' had a wife, she'd be one with Jesus'. but becuz we don't have legitimate proof we say that he wasn't married and he has no decendants.

When I first read the (short) question I was thinking, "Oh not yet another joke about Jesus." I was thinking that your posts generally tend to be more thought out and not subject to ridiculous insults. So I was intrigued and read the (long) question. It is a most excellent point you make, Endora. Even John wrote that if all the things Jesus did were to be recorded he supposes all the world couldn't hold the books (which is kind of amusing, but since he says "I suppose" we can give him credit for saying this tongue-in-cheek). So yeah, there is a LOT of stuff that was not written about Jesus. Could he have been married? Possibly, but I don't see any evidence of it. I would expect that a relationship as sacred as marriage would show Jesus as the epitome of the perfect husband (going from the Christian viewpoint of him being perfect) and that it would be something that would be important enough to write about, but that's only my opinion. But I've always wondered what Jesus did during his childhood. And what he did during his teens and twenties. So much that we do not know...Thanks for the question!

particular. Matthew 10:20 For this isn't any longer ye that talk, however the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you. here it particularly is saying that the Spirit is the father. John 14:sixteen-18 and that i will desire the father, and he shall supply you yet another Comforter, that he would abide with you for ever: Even the Spirit of fact; whom the international can't acquire, by way of fact it seeth him no longer, neither knoweth him: yet ye understand him; for he dwelleth with you, and could be in you. i won't have the ability to bypass away you comfortless: i will come again to you. In that final verse Jesus is saying that he's the Spirit of fact/Comforter. the father and the Son and the Holy Spirit are one. additionally do no longer ignore Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a newborn is born, unto us a son is given: and the government would be upon his shoulder: and his call would be observed as outstanding, Counsellor, The sturdy God, The eternal Father, The Prince of peace. Now, if he's each and each physique of those issues then how can all and sundry deny the undeniable fact that this is speaking of our Lord Jesus Christ? @ Everett: The Mormon version of the KJV says "a" God. The KJV says God on my own devoid of the "a". only God can forgive sins. Jesus forgave sins even previous to the flow and resurrection making Himself equivalent to God. If Jesus grow to be only a guy chosen from God then why grow to be there a would desire to be a virgin delivery? He got here "into" the international yet, grow to be no longer part of the international.

Interesting question...if you take the Christian view that we are made in God's image, do we take that to mean the higher being occasionally requires to take a powder?
It is a double edged sword on Christ himself. Supposedly sent here to live life as a man, yet apparently did not experience all life had to offer as it would be beneath him.
My truest thought on this is that Christ was a good man who's stories have grown legendary in 2000 years...no more the Son of God than I am, mind you.

I asked a question kind of like this once. I was asking if Jesus using the toilet would have defiled him and if wiping with his left hand would have defiled his left hand. I was told that that only applied in circumstances when you didn't have a leaf or something to wipe with.
If Jesus would have got caught in the desert with no leaves he would have had to cut his hand off or something I guess.

He mentioned the latrine briefly.
Jesus(God), being the reasonable and responsible sort, would not have had any children, knowing that He was to die at a young age.

I dont think he used the latrine. In those days they did it behind bushes and rocks.

As in most works of fiction, trips to the toilet are not mentioned in the bible.
