Do we know where he was and what he was doing?
Some say he might have been studying Bhuddism...
But no one really seems to know.
What do you think Jesus was doing during that time?

If it were that important don't you think that God would have let us know?

even nonetheless the photographs are continuously exhibiting Him as a blonde, blue-eyed, sturdy-finding fellow. The Bible says that He replaced into no longer an appealing guy. He additionally had a undertaking of being an occasion for us. The Bible says that if we are spoke of as to God's service as a single individual, we could continuously stay that way. If married, we could continuously stay so. He replaced into single till now He got here so marrying does no longer have made experience. He replaced into specific with a arranged physique in simple terms to come back right here and supply His existence for us. without the laying off of blood, there is not any remission of sins. He knew what He got here for and did in simple terms that. If He had married and had heirs, it might have been till now His ministry took off--so why might they disguise his family individuals? they did no longer understand who He replaced into.

The life of Jesus which we find in the gospels are definitely not biographies of him. Jesus didn't have a reporter following his steady progress on earth up until his last moments. There were no social reports through which one could get information about his life, neither did he have a social security number through which one could piece data about him together. We are speaking about 2000 years ago, when society was not as sophisticated as we have it today. We can only assume that Jesus grew up like any other Jewish boy would have done. The gospel accounts actually have more to tell about his ministry, his death and his ressurection. There's a lot of myth going round about him studying Buddhism in India and a lot of stuff like that. Most reasonable scripture scholars and historians would laugh at such suggestions. Firstly because they are historically improbable. Jews lived a world that was wrapped around the Ancient Near East. They lived in the hope of liberation from the hands of the Romans so that the land given to Abraham by God would be reverted back to them. They did not believe in foriegn gods or foriegn religions or powers. They were quite a religiously exclusive people--no other religion was as good as theirs. Secondly, the gospels do not show any Indian or Buddhist influence. Jesus' miracle stories are wrapped around his showing that the reign of God was iminent.
Stories began to circulate about Jesus after his death and ressurection. The earliest stories about him were the ressurection accounts. You may realize this when you read the Acts of the Apostles. After that came the ministry stories which began with his baptism at the Jordan--you see this when you read the gospel of Mark, which according to scholars' opinion, was the first gospel to be written. The birth stories were the next to be written ( probably with data suplied by Jesus' own mother and or the mothers of James and John, Sons of Zebedee) while the pre-existence stories e.g. John 1:1-16 came last. Presumably Jesus grew up a normal young man who learnt the trade of carpentry (mark 6:3) and at the prime of his life locked up his shop and began preaching a message about the kingdom of God.
The gospel of Thomas is one of the Nag Hammadi documents, most scholars refer to them as gnostic (they belong to a dissident sect who tried to mix Christianity with paganism) and as such they are not referred to as serious historical documents.

There are people who believe he studied Buddhism in India, Nepal, Ladakh and Tibet. I think this is entirely possible if you look at the similarities between Jesus' teachings and Buddha's teachings. There are many things that each said that are almost identical.

Some say he was in India. Makes sense with his teachings, and some scrolls in Buddhist temples describe a man that could have easily been him.
The Infancy Gospel of Thomas accounts for a few of Jesus' earlier years. He was making live clay pigeons, killing peers...you know, the usual.

He may have studied with the Essenes during those years under Rabbi Hillel.
The Essenes were a religious sect in the Dead Sea area that espoused ideas like "What is hateful to yourself do not do to your neighbor".
Sounds familiar, doesn't it?

He was with HIS uncle Joseph of Arimathaea who had tin mines in Scotland. http://www.isleofavalon.co.uk/history/jesus.html
Joseph was also kinsmen Redeemer.
Jhn 19:38 And after this Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave [him] leave. He came therefore, and took the body of Jesus.

He was busy practicing preforming miracles. That is how his Mother knew he could turn water into wine.
