Our belief system is based on what is known in the New Testament. While there are books that existed that told of Jesus' early life and even one called "The Gospel of Jesus Christ" the editors who put the Bible could not find prove that these book are factual and did not include them.
The only Gospel that comes close to being accurate is the one by St. John. He is the one who was there at the time of Jesus and he would known about Jesus' early years. Even he doesn't mention Jesus' early years.
His early years doesn't matter to Christians. Only the start of His Ministry and Teachings do.

True. It is not that important. I don't know everything about George Washington, Abraham Lincoln or Julius Cesar. but we know the important stuff. I don't need to know what they had for dinner, or everytime that they went to the bathroom.
It appears from some evidence in the Gospels, that Jesus was working as a carpenter during these years. In other words, nothing important.

Jesus Christ of Nazareth Son of God as a child at the age of twelve was in the temple as mentioned in the Holy Bible.
Luk 2:42 And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast.
Luk 2:43 And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not [of it].
The matters regarding the Kingdom of heaven, necessary for belief, to save and wash mankind from the sins of the world to gift eternal life are mentioned in the Holy Bible.
Jesus Christ of Nazareth Son of God did many things during his life on the earth, if written even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written.
Read the verses from the Holy Bible.
Jhn 21:25 And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.
Hbr 13:20 Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,
Hbr 13:21 Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom [be] glory for ever and ever. Amen.

Well, the Vatican knows, but since the period of 1 to 28 took place in Nazareth wich was by then something compared to Amsterdam, with the red light district and mushrooms included, the Vatican tought best to hide it from the general public. No big deal, things that any normal youngsters have to go by.

The Bible gives us the information that is important and that was the ministry of Jesus, the atonement he provided. If the Bible listed everything that happpened in the lives of everyone Adam's 930 year life alone would fill library's. We know all the prophesies of the coming Messiah and how he fufilled them and the law and remained perfect and paid the penalty of death for all who accept the atonement.

dude, not that i'm a 'jesus believer' but...
you seriously need to read the non-canonical gospels, especially the gospel of timothy and the gospel of thomas. they have passages telling stories of jeebus performing miracles when he was a child in egypt (not that i believe that he ever went to egypt)
why don't you actually make sure you know what you're talking about before you run your mouth off next time
btw you should have used 'don't' instead of 'doesn't' - 'the jesus believers' is not a collective noun

To reflect that between those years one need be mature?
I think there was a few stories that were told of his upbringing in Nazareth. That he was a carpenter (to show he was a humble and average man and that so can you be, to be a follwer of God. At the time only the rich were high priests etc...
It's all got a purpose.

Theres plenty more written but it not for us to read it .its hidden away because the masses are better of not knowing to much thats what the catholic church thinks anyway what i think is if its there it should be in the Bible along with the other books and if it isnt there has to be a dodgy reason

That's not completely true...you are forgetting about the story when Jesus ran off to the temple.
But you have a good point.
