Would the child Jesus have been naughty at times?

Answer 1

Young or old, Jesus was God in the flesh and God is not capable of error. Jesus was perfect from the moment he was born. Completely without sin.

Answer 2

Why not?

He was a little boy and He was human... who learned and matured as all of us do. I do not consider that "sin" however.

If a person thinks that 10+10 is 4, that wouldn't be a sin, even though it is not correct. "sin" means to "miss the mark" but I do not believe that Jesus did wrong and SINNED. (Capital S)The answer to the above problem is 20, but just because I got it right does not make me more righteous than the person who thinks it's 4. How can anyone know what is right if they don't learn? There is no guilt in not knowing...

There are a whole lot more answers to any given problem than one, whether right or wrong and it takes learning how to get to the solution before the endless answers to that one problem can be sorted out and the correct answer pinpointed.

Here are some scriptures from the old testament that support what I've said:

Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. -Isaiah 7:14

Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good. -Isaiah 7:15

(Some people think this passage means that Jesus would be John the Baptist's disciple... the one that baptized Jesus - even though it was Jesus that would be Messiah).

For before the child shall know to refuse the evil, and choose the good, the land that thou abhorrest shall be forsaken of both her kings. -Isaiah 7:16

Answer 3

Well back then in the Jewish culture God couldn't hold anyone under the age of 13 or 14 accountable for their sins since they were considered a child.

So more than likely he did, because of basic human instincts. Because he was trapped in the body of "man" so he would struggled with the same things people do today.

Answer 4

Well, I believe in Catholicism and as a Catholic we believe that God is 100% human and 100% divine; this means that he had a dual nature. Any divine quality that you could think of he possessed, which means that any human quality he would naturally posses. Being as all teenage boys go through puberty and have raging hormones, I doubt that he wouldn't be naughty at times, as long as it wasn't sinful because then that would be breaking over into his divine side, and hes fully divine as well.

Answer 5

The bible is very silent about it - but what we know is that Jesus is both man and divine at the same time.

So meaning he is the same in all ways except sin with a kid. So maybe Jesus is also a super hyperactive kid when he was 5 but he never committed any sin.

Answer 6

.Your wasting your time about questions like that. What if, would, or perhaps, is something that never happened, and so it is a waste of time. Jesus was a good boy, and spent many hours in the Synagogue. He was the Son of God.

Answer 7

I don't know. I have wondered about this a few times. Did His mom every spank Him for misbehaving. The answer is I don't know. But it is interesting to ponder sometimes.

Answer 8

Of course...He was a human child in every respect.

Answer 9

I'm sure he would have been; all kids are naughty. Give him a break; he was just a nice little Jewish kid.

Answer 10

I would think so. I don't know for sure, but thats my opinion.
And I believe it wasn't until he was about 12, that he realized who his "real father" was, so apparently before that he was just like every other kid.
