Does anyone have info on this....???

>>Well, no one ever covers the Missing years of Jesus, from 12 to 33.
He was trained by the best metaphysicians on the planet during that time.
He traveled more extensively than people will admit, even here to America, as many native americans have stories/legends about him.

Yes I know about them, and they're just what you said they were - Stories and legends. The documents that tell of Jesus' "lost years" are not characteristic of Christ, contradict words that He spoke, and there's no archeological or historical evidence that supports these "stories."

On the OTHER hand, there IS extensive archeological and historical evidence that support and prove the gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, & John) of the New Testement. The "Lost Gospels" that chronical Christ's "early years", are bogus.



That's the short version.

Ok, but what DID he do during that time? There has to be an accounting SOMEWHERE....

Even as the master once he formally began his preaching he did it simply. When he was twelve what did he say to his parents when they found him in the temple. He taught that children should love the Lord and be brought to him. We have been taught that we as children would honor our parents. His later life and closeness to his remaining parent tells us what he was doing. He lived as an example to what we are taught. He cared for his mother, grew strong, studied, worshipped, and prayed. He learned the scriptures and a trade. He did as he expects all of us to do. Nothing fancy. How could he expect it from us if not having set the example. When it was his time he went forth to continue in Gods Plan.

I tried to teach my children that it is not all the what this world says to us that is really the way we need to live. But Christ example. He told us " Do as I have done"

I don't believe there is some great mystery to his "early years" .

During that time, he was most likely preparing for the 3 years of ministry that was going to take place between the time he was 30 and 33. One thing that I am really in awe of when reading the gospels is the character of Jesus. He knew when it was time to begin his ministry and knew what to do, b/c he had spent that time being in tune with his heavenly Father.
