Why is 18 years of Jesus Christ life "Undocumented"?

My father is a preacher and "Bible Scholar" so don't give me his "Cop-Out"...If God wanted us to know he would have put it in the Bible, when Christ's lineage is documented back to Abraham. That's going back 42 generations (800-1000 years). If his lineage is important enough for documentation "WHY IS 18 YEARS OF HIS "LIFE" NOT IMPORTANT ENOUGH TO BE DOCUMENTED"???

    You make a very good point. Bible scholars everywhere (including your father) have been pointing out inconsistencies and outright misleading, sometimes prejudicial, statements that were made by various writers, in addition to all the written material that was intentionally left out of the Bible because it was upsetting to someone or another, or didn't fit their belief system.

    Does this is counted basically like the international finding and guessing? Christians do care and have a pastime.. they're lead by capacity of the spirit of God....the spirit confirms and renews ones way of questioning. Jesus knew what replace into in guy from the commencing up of time. no longer something guy does or say is a marvel to God. He mentioned in case you have well-known me you may have well-known the father. humorous those years weren't lost...God knows and in case you pay interest i'm effective you may earnings knowleged while examining the parables. Jesus spoke in parables and the beattitudes. He discovered plenty with the aid of remark...flow discern.

    Because He was simply living an ordinary life with His family, probably working in His dad's carpenter shop. Why would anyone document that?

    Eighteen years? Actually, the Bible says nothing about Jesus's life from the time of his birth until he is thirty or thirty-three years old.

    There is some "documentation" in the Gnostic Gospels. I don't find those to be any more evidential than the Bible.

    It's likely that it could have been documented. The church is notorious for getting rid of the bits and pieces they don't like or that don't make sense. Maybe it will surface one day.

    18 years of being a man-whore in the Roman bath houses is nothing to put in the bible.
