Are there any writings of Jesus early years?

Question

just curious to know

Answer 1

There are books in the Apocrypha about Jesus Christ's early life. They are not canonical...which means, the church heirarchy never accepted them as factual.
In the 1800s, Bibles were printed with Old Testament, Apocrypha and New Testament.
Today, you need to buy the Apocryhpha separately.
They are interesting to read, to say the least.
I read them years ago.
There were stories about how Jesus Christ performed miracles as a child.

Answer 2

I seriously doubt there is anything remotely reliable. Keep in mind: the kid wasn't famous during his younger years, and the way the Christian Bible paints it, even he doesn't know who he is until he's twelve or so. Who is going to keep a reliable, running account of an unknown middle-class kid in an age when all writing is done by hand?! I know no one did that for me, and computers made record-keeping easy then. I'll bet the best you'll be able to find is some highly colored, edited, and "improved" recollections from decades later.

Just ask your second cousin or even a good friend to give a detailed recollection of your childhood. That's likely about as reliable as any early Jesus biographers might have had.

Answer 3

There are childhood stories but they are of a legendary kind. Like the one that the little Jesus made clay doves and made them fly clapping his hands. For that reason, when the church had to compile a list of authoritative book, they were left out and counted among the apocriphal books.
From Jesus later life, there's also the story that Judas died in the cross instead of Jesus, but his appearance changed so that even the virgin Mary thought it was Jesus.
So, there is a reason to discard some books, and not some kind of conspiraty to hide the truth.

Answer 4

Well, not to be a negative nancy or anything, but maybe you should read some about Krishna when he was a child. Many of the things that happened to Jesus in his later life, happened to Krishna hundreds of years before. So, perhaps by learning about Krishna as a child, you could learn more about Jesus as a child.

Just an idea.

Answer 5

some tried to do it but there are no official (accepted by the Church authorities when the Bible was finally codified) writings. those early writings were not included in the Bible accounts of Jesus because they were inconsistent with what He is believed to be or what He was known to be.

Answer 6

None that are "accepted" and have any validity at all. But yes there are many, some are the writings of Thomas and Mary Magdelane to name just a couple. Although it's EXTREMELY doubtful that the authors are who they claim to be.

Answer 7

There are other gospels which the Catholic Church chose not to include in the Bible because they show Jesus in a too human light. There's the Gospel of Thomas, Gospel of Judas and Gospel of Mary.

Answer 8

particular. the variation grow to be as quickly as using complication in the classic testomony. Jesus watchword grew to become into consistently venture no longer. God is a loving Heavenly Father. Jesus additionally gave the previous Golden Rule of love God and Love your Neighbor a clean spin: Love God your Father on an identical time with the finished coronary heart and recommendations and soul and love your fellows as I enjoyed you." it particularly is very unique - God as a loving Father and the enjoyed ones of humankind is to love one yet yet yet another the suited way Jesus loves us. Wow. See what I mean?

Answer 9

Yes. There's a story about when he was a young boy and his mother (Mary) lost track of him. She found him preaching to some people and was NOT very pleased with the fact that he had wandered off and scared her, but it was a significant occurrence because it was his first experience at trying to teach.

Answer 10

From ages 13-30, there is nothing in the Bible about him--or anything else factual, or supposedly factual, for that matter. However, there is a humor novel called Lamb, by Christopher Moore, which fills in what happened during those years.
