Jesus was human and as such, his brain would develop like every other human’s, and the older he got, the more he would understand his role as God/Man come to save us.
I see nothing wrong with this movie and would see it.
That kid needs a haircut.
Not Everyone Agrees On The Young Messiah.
Coincidentally, not everyone agrees on The Bible.
Thought this was about Cruz
1. From his parents, who could have told of Gabriel's message (and Elizabeth's and Simeon's and Anna's), although reliance on such otherwise-untested human sources would be far from definitive.
2. From the Scriptures which predicted his advent, even to the time, place, and circumstances--today, we still recognize this as definitive and conclusive.
3. From God directly. Although we have no New Testament Scriptural support for such communication in His youth, who can doubt it took place, especially once He saw Himself predicted in scripture?
Whether you like the movie or not it’s all speculative conjecture. Nothing is written about his early youth because it is unknown. The earliest known age was when he was twelve and he spoke with the elders. It may be a nice story but that is all it is.
51 Then he went down to Nazareth with them and was obedient to them. But his mother treasured all these things in her heart. 52 And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.
The reason these stories weren't included in the Bible is much of it cannot be corroborated elsewhere and some of it doesn't match the known accounts of what God portrays in Scripture. I'm sure Mary and Joesph knew of His uniqueness because they were visited by angels and told who He was. When Jesus went to Canaan for the wedding, when asked to make wine, He said it was not yet His time. His life was planned out to the letter in the OT and this wasn't covered. His ministry started when John baptized Him and he went to the wilderness for 40 days and 40 nights. To give life to a dead child before He started His ministry is just fiction. Jesus was a child and needed to learn Scripture, learn to walk and talk, and just grow up as any other child. There are stories of Him speaking in the manger as an infant. For me, that takes from His humanity. The whole story of Jesus is to show that he was FULLY man and fully God when he was murdered. If He was just God from birth, one might say It was easy for Him to die on the cross for He was God and could dull the pain and remove His humanity from the scene. The whole point of His prayer in the Garden was to show His humanity. He was having a "crisis of faith" asking God to take the cup from Him, just as we will when enemy has your head on a chopping block to renounce the King of Kings. Jesus was a man, filled with the Spirit that never did anything without the Father showing Him what to do. This demonstrates that we could mimic Jesus if we would just surrender to God. The whole prayer in John 17 was to make us like Him to the Father. Our problem is always keeping our humanity and rejecting the divine. Jesus said we would do greater exploits than Him. Is anyone healing the blind and raising the dead in your church? It's only because we haven't "died to the flesh" yet and we don't do things like they are done in heaven here on earth. Most Christians even deny supernatural healing and other gifts exists today. Why even bother to pray for a sick person if you believe that's true?
I don't mind seeing a movie that is fiction, but the problem lies in others seem to latch on to visual things and somehow it becomes what we call today a "meme". If repeated often enough, it seems to evolve into fact. It's hard enough to get people to read their Bibles today without introducing fiction in the mix. Just as we go watch movies that are allegedly "facts", taken right from Scripture, inevitably there is "license" taken to make some obscure point the writer wants to make. Just as it's easier to listen to an audio book, watching a movie that supposedly gives you the facts will cement falsehoods in the person's mind that may never leave if they don't pursue the truth.
Diabolical crap.
This movie us based on a book by Satanic author Anne Rice.
Let’s get real, people.
I thought Jesus was born with a beard......
