I agree with that I feel that his knowledge was that from a carpenter and farmer!
So just to be clear are you a Christian?
sure, the parabels point to a deeper message; my question is where/from who did Jesus obtain His knowledge?
obviously, the straight from God story doesn't work from me.
Interesting read on Jesus working life
Jesus is identified in the Gospel of Matthew 13:55 as the son of a t??t?? (tekton) and the Gospel of Mark 6:3 states that Jesus was a tekton himself. Tekton has been traditionally translated into English as "carpenter", but is a rather general word (from the same root that gives us "technical" and "technology") that could cover makers of objects in various materials, even builders.[18] But the specific association with woodworking is a constant in Early Christian tradition; Justin Martyr (d. ca. 165) wrote that Jesus made yokes and ploughs, and there are similar early references.[19]
John Dominic Crossan puts tekton into a historical context more resembling an itinerant worker than an established artisan, emphasizing his marginality in a population in which a peasant who owns land could become quite prosperous. Other scholars have argued that tekton could equally mean a highly-skilled craftsman in wood or the more prestigious metal, perhaps running a workshop with several employees, and noted sources recording the shortage of skilled artisans at the time.[20] Geza Vermes has stated that the terms 'carpenter' and 'son of a carpenter' are used in the Jewish Talmud to signify a very learned man, and he suggests that a description of Joseph as 'naggar' (a carpenter) could indicate that he was considered wise and highly literate in the Torah.[21]
At the time of Joseph, Nazareth was an obscure village in Galilee, about 65 km from the Holy City of Jerusalem, which is barely mentioned in surviving non-Christian texts and documents.[4][22][23][24][25] Archaeology over most of the site is made impossible by subsequent building, but from what has been excavated and tombs in the area around the village, it is estimated that the population was at most about 400.[26] It was, however, only about 6 kilometres from the city of Tzippori (ancient "Sepphoris"), which was destroyed by the Romans in 4BC, and thereafter was expensively rebuilt. Analysis of the landscape and other evidence suggest that in Joseph's lifetime Nazareth was "oriented towards" the nearby city,[27] which had an overwhelmingly Jewish population although with many signs of Hellenization,[28] and historians have speculated that Joseph and later Jesus too might have traveled daily to work on the rebuilding. Specifically the large theatre in the city has been suggested, although this has aroused much controversy over dating and other issues.[29] Other scholars see Joseph and Jesus as the general village craftsmen, working in wood, stone and metal on a wide variety of jobs.[30]
I felt at a young age that I was not going to jump neither to suck, lol.
Outstanding Article on the birth of Jesus

The parables of Jesus can be found in all the Canonical gospels as well as in some of the non-canonical gospels but are located mainly within the three synoptic gospels. They represent a key part of the teachings of Jesus, forming approximately one third of his recorded teachings. Christians place high emphasis on these parables, since they are the words of Jesus, they are believed to be what the Father has taught, indicated by John 8:28 and 14:10.[1][2]
Jesus' parables are seemingly simple and memorable stories, often with imagery, and each conveys a message. Scholars have commented that although these parables seem simple, the messages they convey are deep, and central to the teachings of Jesus. Christian authors view them not as mere similitudes which serve the purpose of illustration, but as internal analogies where nature becomes a witness for the spiritual world.[3][4]
Oh my not true at all! What kinda of a Christian where you?
His living a simple life....his parables are bout everyday things.
At the level of Cosmic Consciousness all possible information exists, and in this way it can be accessed. When your question has been received, together with the knowledge that a certain book is the instrument for answering, we are impressed with a certain impulse: our muscles respond to the impulse in the mind by opening the book to a certain page and our gaze is directed to the appropriate paragraph.
Now this method can be used effectively but should not be used indiscriminately as it can also generate undesirable results. Consider the example of fire: if we use fire well it protects us, keeps us warm and otherwise helps us, but when used incorrectly it can also burn us.
Consider then, what requirements are appropriate to using this method effectively:
1.- Ask only when it is very necessary because reasoning and customary methods have failed to produce the answer.
2.- Never ask the same question two or more times, since the method tends to lose its effectiveness in this way.
3.- Never ask what you should do, it is NEVER appropriate as free and responsible people should make their own decisions.
4.- Do not ask what will come to pass in the future, and how it might affect you, for good or ill.
5.- Be very specific in your questions, without going off in branching directions that obscure what it is you actually want to know. It is necessary to focus on the final result and not related secondary issues so remember: Be very specific.
6.- Be reasonable and NEVER use this method to determine what can be found by simple and common methods.
7.- Do not suppose that you can change the answer, it pertains to the real cause of the matter
about which you wondered and not what you want to hear.
Let us consider now how we should proceed:
1.- Take the inspiring book into your hands.
2.- Concentrate on your question, it is best to simplify it as much as possible, then request light on the subject of your concern.
3.- Think of your question being released to the Cosmic and dismiss it from your mind.
4.- Opening the book, look to the place that attracts you and then calmly meditate on the words you read.
5.- Arrive at your own conclusion.
Fraters and Sorors, after you have acquired skill through practice and are able to apply this technique well, you will discover more than enough light within yourself to answer all of your needs.
May Peace Profound abide always in your heart.
in your opinion; where did Jesus' wisdom come from?
being a Xtian is like this;
when a Jew says j'ump'; you ask him 'how high'?
and when a priest says 'suck my dick', you ask him 'do you like it softer or harder'?
that's my girl!
your methodist mind; lucky boy you can flex them muscles with your flexibility.

He is not sorry!
Luke 17:3-5 (Phi) "So be careful how you live. If your brother offends you, take him to task about it, and if he is sorry, forgive him. Yes, if he wrongs you seven times in one day and turns to you and says, 'I am sorry' seven times, you must forgive him. And the apostles said to the Lord, 'give us more faith.'"
Thanks for posting.......those guys went thru Hell! I am a nut about the Pacific Theater!
Yep!! It was at the time.
So like I let you back you ban me for fun? I put a lot of effort here! You think it's fun to ban a guy from his own board?
No worry's. My father told me one story of a Japanese Kamikaze pilot crashing into the hull of the ship out in the Pacific where my father was playing cards with his best friend and some other army fellas. Lucky for him he got up to take a piss and that's when this suicide pilot struck and hit right where he was playing cards killing his best friend. Those boys went thru some bad ju ju back then. That's for sure.
Lol!! It was fun.
I love her and we have a lot of kids together. She says this will be the last time? Some things are better though, unless she comes back and goes back to her ways.
Rich you got mod you banned me from my own board! Hmmm!
Why don't you just give her the boot?
Just because you don't agree with it doesn't mean it's bullshit.
