Jesus: Ages 13-30
So there I am watching Dogma and Rufus is talking about the lack of writings about Jesus between the ages of 13 and 30. I always had a good idea that Jesus had half brothers and sisters (c'mon, a married couple not gettin' it on? puhleez). However, this got me thinking. Since there are many similarities between a good deal of religions, is it possible that Jesus, after being revealed that He was the Son of God, that He was so shocked, so baffled, that he traveled for approximately 17 years studying other religions, and telling others about Judaism and what would later be known as the Gospel, and then a big game of "Telephone" started and the details changed but the message stayed the same. Is it quite possible that after 1 A.D. or rather 14 A.D. that a good deal of the religions that were created were influenced by the teachings of Christ? I think it's quite possible because until Jesus comes to grips with His situation, He could have very well been a wandering philosopher telling people what He thought about the Meaning of Life.
So what's your opinions?
