UNBELIEVABLE: Experts Discover Oldest Written Record of Jesus Christ's Childhood, Revealing an Amazing Miracle Not in the Bible ...
Experts in Germany have uncovered a deciphered manuscript that has been determined to be the oldest record of Jesus Christโs childhood.
I like how they're acting like this is a new discovery. The Infancy Gospel of St. Thomas (or The Gospel of Thomas) has been in print for many years. The only discovery here is that they found the oldest known "version" which isn't a complete gospel, just a few words from it.
The reason this apocryphal book was excluded from the Bible is because the council didn't like the two instances in which Jesus killed people. Somebody bumps into Jesus when he was a child and Jesus said "You'll go no further!" and the person dropped dead. There's another part where it is implied that Jesus pushed somebody off a roof and killed them.
The clay bird miracle is fun and all but if we accept that then we have to accept Jesus as a killer.
wow, I didn't know any of this^ interesting & would explain some of hints I've 'noticed'...about temptation, fighting demons, etc.
There are lots and lots of heresies
If you're curious, you can ask the catholics about them all. They keep an encyclopedia of them.
If you read the NT closely you'll note that many of Paul's letters were specifically addressed towards defeating heresies.
