I’m just going to keep believing that he was a good kid helping with his “father’s” carpentry business until Joseph died. And then sometime after that, his younger brothers took over from Him and he began preparing for His ministry.
Yeah, I would like to think of the young Christ just hanging out in his pop’s workshop learning a trade and on weekends going down to the Temple to listen to the Rabbis speak.
There was a movie that came out about 10 years ago called The Young Messiah that attempted to dramatize his life prior to the 12yo temple story. It didn’t get the best reviews (as you would expect with any realistic Jesus movie) but I thought it did a wonderful job of putting plausible flesh onto the childhood of an eldest son of a carpenter raised in Nazareth 2000 years ago.
Krishna devotees speculate that Jesus' lost years were spent in India. I find that more credible than England or Japan.
Whatever, the more theology I read, the less I think I know for certain, and the less regard I have for those who shout out 'absolute truth'.
For me, spiritual truth has to align with both logic and the Golden Rule. Thus, I accept the Bhagavad Gita's basic premises of reincarnation, karma and God's ever presence as Brahman/ Holy Spirit.
I don't see Vaishnavism taking over the West any time soon however, thus align locally with Christianity really as a vehicle for spirituality rather than a deep seated belief, although I pray to Christ as I do to Krishna/ God.
Yeah, I saw Zeitgeist myself. They make it sound like the most ancient prophecy that spread around the world thousands of years ago is somehow just a copy of a copy of a copy. It does not make sense for it to be ‘ancient Satan worship’ considering Christ’s role is to literally destroy Satan and his empire once and for all. That is like saying the DEA are the biggest drug dealers in the world… oh wait, bad example. THAT is true. haha
Comparing the Epstein cover-up with the Crucifixion is quite the stretch. There would not have really been any political gain in faking the Crucifixion either. It actually would have had the opposite effect.
Tacitus famously wrote, ‘"Nero fastened the guilt and inflicted the most exquisite tortures on a class hated for their abominations, called Christians by the populace. Christus, from whom the name had its origin, suffered the extreme penalty during the reign of Tiberius at the hands of one of our procurators, Pontius Pilatus."'
Josephus also wrote about a man called ‘Christ’ being crucified by Pontius Pilatus.
"Now there was about this time Jesus, a wise man, if it be lawful to call him a man; for he was a doer of wonderful works, a teacher of such men as receive the truth with pleasure. He drew over many people... And when Pilate, at the suggestion of the principal men amongst us, had condemned him to the cross..."
So unless the conquered Jews and the Roman aristocrats were in league to fake this - which would make zero sense on multiple levels - why would they both have written about it?

I have noticed certain syncretisms between krishna, brahma, and para-brahma corresponding to the son, father, and holy spirit myself.

William Blake était un ramassis de merde de sorcier cannibale adorateur de Satan que j'espère passer l'éternité dans l'obscurité de l'abîme.
