I’m still waiting for the even earlier document of Jesus as a kid. When Joseph and Mary change the first diaper, are overwhelmed by the smell, and say to each other, “Holy crap!”
BS
Joesepth would not need to scold Jesus for that....’didn’t you know that I woukd be at my father’s house?’
The Catholic Church already rejected it.
I know that story. It’s part of the Apocrypha............
I think I will just stick with the Bible, Thank you very much!
In the Biblical writings it was after His baptism that Jesus performed miracles. Could that mean public miracles vs private ones before?
This isn’t new, this story has been around for a long time.
You’d be best served by sticking to what the Bible says.
Not some “manuscript” that was written 400 years after Jesus was on this earth and ~300-450 years after the New Testament was already put together by the church.
This is nothing new. Many of these are Gnostic writings that are very anti-Christian. One of these fake infancy narratives had Our Lord as a youngster being beaten in a footrace, cursing the winner “May you never walk again”, and breathing life in a toy bird he was making in arts and crafts. Some of these types of writings MAY have historical values and MAY have truths (NOT inspired writing) in them (”The Assumption of Moses”). Any of these faux infancy narratives are worse than worthless.
Hmmm… Color me skeptical.
That ‘account’ reads more like Fan Fiction than anything even remotely close to the reality of who, even as a young child, Jesus was.
Indeed.
Unbelievable indeed!
The miracle is not in the Bible because the Gospel of Thomas, although long known, is regarded as not canonical. I heard the story of Jesus as a boy making birds of clay come to life about sixty years ago in Catholic elementary school, with the admonition that it may not have been true.
Deciphered, or translated?
AI fakes are older that we have been thinking.
Is this from hitlers collection ?
Wasn’t he stealing anything historically interesting during his plaque on humanity ?
"But we have nevertheless felt compelled to give a catalogue of these also, distinguishing those works which according to ecclesiastical tradition are true and genuine and commonly accepted, from those others which, although not canonical but disputed, are yet at the same time known to most ecclesiastical writers — we have felt compelled to give this catalogue in order that we might be able to know both these works and those that are cited by the heretics under the name of the apostles, including, for instance, such books as the Gospels of Peter, of Thomas, of Matthias, or of any others besides them, and the Acts of Andrew and John and the other apostles, which no one belonging to the succession of ecclesiastical writers has deemed worthy of mention in his writings. And further, the character of the style is at variance with apostolic usage, and both the thoughts and the purpose of the things that are related in them are so completely out of accord with true orthodoxy that they clearly show themselves to be the fictions of heretics. Wherefore they are not to be placed even among the rejected writings, but are all of them to be cast aside as absurd and impious."From Eusebius Pamphilus, Ecclesiastical History, Book III, Chapter XXV, in A Select Library of Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers of the Christian Church, Second Series, Volume I, p. 157.
