This all stands to reason if, and only if, your scripture is true.

Now that is not meant to be an insult.

@avalanchethecat said
What, no repeated accusation of 'whoppers'?

@pb1022 said
You seemed to suggest, at least as a thought experiment, that it was true when you incorrectly said nothing was recorded of Jesus Christ before His earthly ministry.

@pb1022 said
No, you were just incorrect.

It’s pretty what Jesus Christ’s focus was as a 12-year-old boy and Luke may have included that account in his Gospel to preemptively address your concern.

@avalanchethecat said
You could go back and read again what I posted, and you will see that I did not say that 'nothing was recorded of J.C. before his earthly ministry'. But of course you have no need to, because you already know that's not what I said.

@PB1022

And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business?“

(Luke 2:40-49)

@pb1022 said
That was my recollection based on your claim that He could have been serial killing prostitutes.

Clearly, even as a 12-year-old boy, Jesus Christ’s mind was set on His Father’s business and He had great wisdom and the Grace of God was upon Him.

Your blasphemous hypothetical has been blown out of the water.

Yes, the hagiographic heresay you believe to be true would obviously gloss over his drunken, murderous twenties.

PB1022.

He just wants to hurt you.
You know we are told to some nothing is pure. For as a man thinks so is he.

"All things are pure to the pure; yet to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure, but both their mind and their conscience are defiled." (Titus 1:15)

It could be that to avanalache all things must be defiled , degraded, currupt, and impure for that is just the world he thrives in all his known life.

You’re talking yourself into a pretzel.

You claim the Gospels are “hagiographic heresay” but then (falsely) claim we don’t anything about what Jesus Christ did before His earthly ministry because the “hagiographic heresay” doesn’t record anything.

But if the Gospels did record events from His life in those years, you’d say it was “hagiographic heresay.”

Take a nap.

PB1022,

I have learned that when Jesus said we can cast pearls before swine or give holy things to the dogs, who only turn to tear you, He was actually caring for such people.

Their nature just eats them up. That which is holy they trample on at once and turn to attack. I have learned that Jesus was not insulting them by saying them were swine or angry wolves. He was teaching Christians that we have to be careful not to let some people be eaten up from within by their own corruption.

"Do not give that which is holy to the dogs, neither cast your pearls before the hogs, lest they trample them with thier feet, and turn and tear you." ( Matt. 7:6)

Sadly, we have seen a good number here just eaten alive from within themselves with their God opposing nature. Trample and attack, thier slaves to these reactions.
We have to ask for mercy for them and wisdom how to reach them with the truth.

I don't quite understand your point here. Try to be clearer.
