Where in Scripture does it say that Jesus:

Never robbed a bank?

Did not mug little old ladies?

Did not run a feed and grain business in Iowa?

Never served on board a nuclear submarine?

Was not the proprietor of a Sea of Galilee Bed and Breakfast?

Was not Matthew's partner in a tax preparation firm?

Never played the saxophone in a New Orleans Dixieland band? Or in a Jerusalem Dixieland band?

Never served as governor of Judea? Or as a Roman Centurion? Or as a researcher for Flavius Josephus?

But we can rest assured that He did not do these things. I thought the usual Biblicist track was to say that unless the Bible clearly says that thus and such occurred, it must not have occurred or must have been irrelevant.

It may well even have been that, having two natures, one fully human and one fully divine, Jesus Christ was Himself a "sign of contradiction" in that He avoided sexual involvements (as most humans do not) and embraced death by crucifixion (as few humans would) in atonement for each and every sin of mankind (as no mere human could).
