Have you read the gospels at all? He doesn't begin His ministry until His baptism. What relevance would any of that have towards leading people to salvation?
Sure, but why would the writers of the gospels spend all their time telling you about the carpentry billing ledgers when the importance of His life was fulfilling prophecy, completing the covenant, and offering salvation to all who believes on Him?
The cost alone to document all of that would have been insane. It took approximately 360 animal skins to compile the Codex Sinaiticus. For comparison, one sheepskin was approximately 30 denarii while an egg was 1 denarii.
It just doesn't make sense to me why it would even be necessary to document all of that. I'll be happy to ask Him about it when we're all on the New Earth but I don't think it's going to provide any Earth-shattering twists or complications to what we already know.

Well, he's been our savior since birth.

Q said Expand you Thinking. These are MY questions. Unfortunately, your first reply was snarky, at best: boo boos?
I'm glad to read your last reply, even though I may not agree with your logic or it satisfies my quest.
I have a long history with the Bible, Church, Evangelicals and Masons. FYI.
