Evidently it was written prior to the 2nd century, and prior to Constantine’s binding interpretations of Church doctrine, and unless you can show something in the canonized scriptures which contradict the story, perhaps you’ll forgive me for thinking the “Infancy Gospel of James” more accurate than your own assumptions on the matter. :)
So, anything the Scriptures don't directly address - any hoax, any unverifiable truth claim, etc. - you will assume is "accurate?"
Certainly, this would have to include claims like Joseph Smith's that Christ visited America?
Perhaps you will forgive me for thinking that Inspired Scripture has ultimate authority over these other claims.
This is NONSENSE!!!!!
Jesus CURSING people and killing and blinding them?
Absolute hogwash.

Although the miracles seem quite randomly inserted into the text, there are three miracles before, and three after, each of the sets of lessons. The structure of the story is essentially:
Bringing life to a dried fish (this is only present in later texts)
(First group)
3 Miracles - Breathes life into birds fashioned from clay, curses a boy, who then becomes a corpse, curses a boy who falls dead and his parents become blind
Attempt to teach Jesus which fails, with Jesus doing the teaching
3 Miracles - Reverses his earlier acts, resurrects a friend who fell from a roof, heals a man who chopped his foot with an axe.[2]
(Second group)
3 Miracles - Carries water on cloth, produces a feast from a single grain, stretches a beam of wood to help his father finish constructing a bed
Attempts to teach Jesus, which fails, with Jesus doing the teaching
3 Miracles - Heals James from snake poison, resurrects a child who died of illness, resurrects a man who died in a construction accident
I can show you something. The character of Jesus in this fable contradicts His character in the Bible. There is nothing there to recommend wasting time on.
