Jesus as a child
Wandering around a bookshop I picked up a book discussing the books that did not get into the Bible - and I've forgotten the author and its title.
In it was a story that another child ran past Jesus and bumped into him, Jesus in effect told him to drop dead and he did. The little bit at the end of the story about the parents berating Joseph to watch his kid sounds so realistic! It is very similar to the story of Jesus cursing an out of season fig tree. The Gospels present two faces of Jesus - a love your enemies, meek shall inherit the earth, and a very grumpy end of the world doom and gloom guy. Another book I picked up was Mort d'Arthur, it seems myth making and story telling is a very ancient art. So if this Jesus did exist, do we have some reliable records that he was exhibiting something like bi polar symptoms, and like modern witch doctors was able to frighten people to death! |
