ttdtt: "He was making Perfect Stools and Tables of course!" You do not have to be a master cabinetmaker to produce perfect stools. -

How long did he live in Egypt? Did he learn to walk like an Egyptian?
Maybe he helped build the pyramids, oops, I mean "grain silos".
Seems to be quite a slacker waiting till he was 30. I guess the writers couldn't have the hero be a kid like Harry Potter.

If he was to be a corresponding ransom for Adam ,why was he born from an imperfect human in Mary ?
And then spend the next thirty years growing up ? Without contributing anything to mankind ?
Adam never had a childhood ,experienced puberty ,was nurtured by a mother ,or had a father figure as a role model .
Neither did he have siblings or other people around him to gain life`s experiences that molds one`s personality .
And he had no comprehension of consequences for disobedience to Jehovah`s requirements.
Why wasn`t JESUS created out of the dust of the ground as an Adult like Adam was ? and then start his ministry ?
That would be more of a comparison I could relate to .

He was probably riding around on donkeys really fast with the other youves from Hebrew School, getting drunk, egging the temple etc etc -

His mythical childhood/young manhood blossomed into a mythical adulthood culminating into a christian deception, blinding millions who cede their own lives to supernatural falsehood. -

If he spend time in Egypt with his cabinetmaker father, perhaps that explains the advanced woodworking skills of the Egyptians, they being perfectly taught, their ebony/ivory inlays, their dismantlable ships --. Wt speakers at one point praised the craft of carpentry as akin to engineering today, building machines, devices of all kinds, siege weapons even. -

He came to England of course!
And did those feet in ancient time,
Walk upon England's mountains green?
And was the Holy Lamb of God
On England's pleasant pastures seen?
And did the Countenance Divine,
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here
Among these dark Satanic mills?
Bring me my bow of burning gold!
Bring me my arrows of desire!
Bring me my spear: O clouds unfold!
Bring me my Chariot of Fire!
I will not cease from mental fight;
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
Til we have built Jerusalem
In England's green and pleasant land.
