So I was reading this becasue I love cracked and found this a bit disturbing. I mean christians claim Jesus was without sin but this shows a different story.
I imagine that is why it was deleted from the bible

I remember Glen Danzig talking about the incident where Jesus killed the boy in an interview, talking about a book in his collection.
Ooooo, then it must be true, I mean, if Glen Danzig said it...

well what of the new testament?
this holds just as much ground as the rest of it.edit on 27-8-2012 by lobotomizemecapin because: add
"O evil, ungodly, and foolish one, what hurt did the pools and the waters do thee? Behold, now also thou shalt be withered like a tree, and shalt not bear leaves, neither root, nor fruit." And straightway that lad withered up wholly.

How could a story about His youth and His magic be written by a person who knew of Him 200 years after his death? and be accurate.???
This is ludicrous at the very least, logic ends any debate of the legitimacy of this "Infancy Gospel"
As for the Dead Sea Scrolls age, they were discovered in the mid 1940s, there age is varied, very varied

To say they are written after Christs birth is laughable. C14 dating has issues no one questions that, but to say the DSS were written after Christ's death is laughableedit on 27-8-2012 by borntowatch because: (no reason given)
You could probably say this about much of the bible. When do you think Genesis was written? Mark and Luke did not know Jesus personally as far as I can tell, so it's a question to me as to why they authored any of the gospels. Especially the red quotes as to what Jesus said.

Even Wikipedia an openly antichristian site suggest the infancy gospel is stupid, funny how so many still accept it as accurate isnt it There is one born every minute.
What is really funny is how so many still accept the Bible as factual and accurate, isn't it? Yes there appears to be one born every minute.

How can somebody suggest that Jesus as a child had these "Magical" powers and write of them 100 years if not longer after his death, how would they know of these acts of magic?
Why wasnt Jesus recognised as somebody special till after His baptism, surely Jesus would have been famous in His youth if He could play tricks and kill people??

Written hundreds of years later by extremely unreliable sources = never part of the official story.
I think that if it wasn't written before AD 80, it was not written by eyewitnesses (even extremely long lived ones).
Before that time, quite possibly, but even then Paul, Peter and James in their letters note that there were others who were not eyewitnesses but were claiming all sorts of stuff just short decades after Jesus death & resurrection.
There were pseudo-Jews, gnostics, nicolitans, mithramists and all sorts early enough that they were included in the texts of the apostles letters. If you knew some of the issues (even only those recorded in the later books of the Bible) then you might have a clearer historical view and would understand that stuff written centuries later and that does not agree with anything else in the Bible is obvious fiction.
