Give him time to find some sort of research first.

I have more, but I cant get to it right now, gimme a few days

Well, to counter, I would only say that the Mormons believe that Jesus later came and visited the Indians in North America. So I guess according to both the Mormons and you, Jesus really likes Indians (both kinds).

This is the kind of stuff that I don't spend a whole lot of time debating.

Jesus went to the Himalayas, there are written accounts of a man named "Jesus" around there, in the missing period of his life.

Lol.

I just invented him, but, well, without trying to offend anyone, so was Jesus.

No, I was saying lol because it was actually a Native American explorer called Jesus Buffalo.

It's not that His life has a missing time period. It's that there was no need to report on it in the Gospels. It's like with a biography. An author will talk about the highlights of their subject but not bother with the mundane everyday things. The Bible, logically, is written in that same way.

However, there are four Gospels that each detail the important aspects of the life of Jesus. Mark gives the once-over version. Matthew gives the Hebraic perspective and the royal perspective. Luke gave the human perspective. And John gave the Holiness perspective. Some of them record Jesus' birth and some his childhood visit to the temple in Jerusalem. But, until He began His ministry and mission at around 33, Jesus lived His earthly life as a carpenter in Nazareth with His parents, siblings, other relatives, the local temple scribes, and His friends. This is a part of why Jesus was able to effectively communicate His ministry to others when He started His mission.

Jesus didn't get swept away to an ivory tower right after birth and spend 30 years of his life isolated in deep study of the Torah. He is the Son of God, He already knew the Old Testament books because He wrote them before His first Advent by inspiring the Bible's various human writers (Adam, Noah, Shem, Terah, Abram, Ishmael, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, etc.) in their transcribing His thoughts. Jesus didn't need to spend a life in constant study to be able to be the Rabbi that His community probably thought He aspired to. It was more important for Him to live life like everybody else -- though sinless -- so that He would be a more appropriate propitiation upon the cross for all our sins.

So, the missing years of Jesus would sound pretty much like this -- from the Book of Humdrums:

"And Jesus did wake from His slumber and ate. He thence went to work repairing the fence for His mother's sister's goat and thus did He rescue the goat from wandering forth from the village. And upon the eve did He sup and slumber. And on the next week did Jesus have friends invite Him to witness the spectacle of the local magistrate whereupon the magistrate did berate a visitor from three and twoscore villages along the edge of the great sea."

"And whence upon the spectacle; when the magistrate did look upon the young man Jesus and His friends, did he warn them not to cause too much trouble in their merry libations with much singing and dancing. And lo, did Jesus go up from the spectacle and returned to his bed and slept. And the next day was ...."

There is a very good reason why the missing years of Jesus are missing. Because nothing happened.

Bingo! Because he didn't exist!

That was lame. You ought to delete your own post out of respect for common human reason.

And you give a classic example of why taking things out of context for your own professed ideas is not considered an acceptable debate tactic.

Btw, you, as a follower of Christianism, believe that God would help you if you need it?

Can we please have more political memes? If we can't I have one question for you.

Okay, let's start Brexit Memes Day:

1. Pound at 30 year low
2. Country divided, literally in half
3. Another attempt for Scotland to break away from the union
4. NI voted to remain, may lead to an attempt to break away from the union
5. Cost of imports going up and will lead to struggles for trading

Yup, looks like the United Kingdom will have to change its name to Kingdom.
