Why don't the Gospels cover Jesus a teenager?

@Richard65 I don’t know….is there?

@Bumbles yes there is, try reading the gospels

@TheWildEcho From memmory that incident is covered in the gospel of Mark.. let me look..

Correction it is in the Gospel of Luke chapter 2::

(Luke 2:42-52) "And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast. {43} And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it. {44} But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day’s journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance. {45} And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him. {46} And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions. {47} And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers. {48} And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing. {49} And he said unto them, [c=BF0000]How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father’s business?[/c] {50} And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them. {51} And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart. {52} And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man."

@WillaKissing Not sure that would mean we wouldn’t want to know the origins of his philosophy.

@Bumbles You already know his origins when it comes to Jesus, read the bible. But a standard teenager forget it when it comes to what their origins are.

@WillaKissing I guess have a curiosity about the life of the Christ that others don’t.

@BritishFailedAesthetic it can’t be proven as a lie

@G0ddess But we know from God's word Jesus did not learn from mystics.

@G0ddess Ooh, I like that. Buddha was born 500 years earlier and there were many other religious traditions much closer from India. Islam would not appear for another 500 years.

@Bumbles There are a number of topics to be open minded about- I love astronomy and wine. The debate about how new movies have gone,etc.

But God's word is God's word.

@BritishFailedAesthetic That’s why I asked specifically about religion. It seems not having robust curiosity is part of the appeal. That is, absolutely security. As you use a circular argument “Gods word is Gods word” to illustrate the point.

@Bumbles I will be open minded on a ton of topics and this is what surprises my secular family and friends- I will listen to what God's word says.

@hunkalove

@BlueSkyKing Yeah, that's what I was talking about. I called it the gospel of Jesus, which was inaccurate. Thank you.

@LordShadowfire for reals?

@Bumbles I swear to... well, whoever. Look it up, it's a hoot.
