That's pretty personal information with no evidence. Whatcha got?
The Gospel account attributed to Luke claims that the Lord Jesus Christ as a child "grew, and
waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the
grace of God was upon him." (Luke 2:40)
If he were to "wax strong" in anything He would first need to "wane in weakness" in that thing. He grew in spirit and was filled with wisdom.
The word "grace" means "divine help", so He received help from His Father in Heaven through the Holy Spirit in order to grow, become strong and gain wisdom.
The same chapter also claims that the young Lord spent three days in the temple with the doctors "
both hearing them, and
asking them questions." (Luke 2:46)
If He knew everything why spend any time at all with the experts of the Law and doctrine? Why listen to them? Why ask them questions?
He was learning about God and Himself and what He was to do with His time on the Earth.
I mean, honestly, what kind of example could He ever set for us if He was never like us at all? What hope could we receive from Him if He forever remained an un-relatable alien thing?
Sure he committed a crime. He committed sedition.
When did He challenge the authority of anyone?
Did He not command His disciples to "render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's"?
Did He not often command those He taught and healed to go to the Temple afterward to make their oblations?
All He did was point out when those members of the Sanhedrin acted outside of the Law or beyond their own authority.
You claimed that He purposefully set out to die, when the record claims that He went into hiding and it took the betrayal of one of his disciples in order for those who would kill Him to find Him.
It sorta throws water in the face of your "suicide by cop" claim if He does everything to avoid the cops. Wouldn't you say?
Sure there was. Jesus didn't want to die, which is why in Gethsemane he asked god if he really had to go through with the whole thing.
Whoa. When I made this point earlier you claimed that 90% of Christians would disagree with me.
If you freely admit that the Lord Jesus Christ had no desire to die, then wherein lies your argument?
Those who commit suicide have a desire to die. The Lord Jesus Christ was willing to sacrifice His life, but He had no desire to do so.
But there was, wasn't there. Died means dead. But enough is enough. . . . . . . .
Either you lack basic reading comprehension skills or you are being intentionally dishonest.
I did not claim that the Lord Jesus Christ could not die, I said "Nothing on Earth could have killed Him." (You even bolded this sentence! How could you have missed it!)
The Lord Jesus Christ could have hung on that cross until this very day because His Sire was the Immortal Father and King of the Universe.
The Lord explained this concept in John 5:26-27 when He said,
"For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the
Son to have
life in himself;
And hath given him
authority to execute
judgment also, because he is the
Son of man."
The Lord Jesus Christ had all power over His life. Nothing could take that from Him, but He also had the ability to die given Him from His mortal mother as well as the authority to judge when He could die.
This concept was illustrated in practice at the moment the Lord died on the cross,
"When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is
finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost." (John 19:30)
He waited until the work had been finished and then he willingly gave up his life. He waited and suffered the required amount necessary for Him to offer salvation to all before he "gave up the ghost".
He had all power and authority over His life. If he had wanted, He could have broken the cross and continued to live on the Earth forever as a mortal man.
