The fact that he (Jesus) was able to not only read the scriptures, but acknowledge understanding of them, even the most complex books of the bible (Solomon's) would suggest to me, he wasn't just some lowly carpenter.

So much hidden of his life as a child, up till the point of death. I am willing to bet he took advantage of the path many young jewish adults had of those times, and went to theology school.

1500-Year-Old Bible Discovered In Turkey Indicates Jesus Christ Was Not Crucified

A 1500-year-old bible has been discovered in Turkey. Discovered in 2000, the book that contains purportedly the Gospel of Barnabas has been transferred by the Turkish government to the Ethnography Museum of Ankara with a police escort. Barnabas was a disciple of Christ, and in the work, claims that Jesus was not crucified, instead it says he ascended to heaven alive and Judas Iscariot was crucified in his place. Furthermore, the 1500-year-old bible states that Jesus Christ was not the son of God, but simply a prophet who passed on the word of God.

According to a report for The National Turk, the bible and alleged Gospel of Barnabas was seized from smugglers in the Mediterranean area in 2000 and held in a Turkish courthouse until safe transfer to the museum could be arranged. Authorities charged the thieves with “smuggling antiquities, illegal excavations and the possession of explosives,” they since been sent to trial, Turkish police testified in regards to the incredible age of the bible, claiming it could be as old as "2000 years."

The Vatican has made an official request to be granted access to the 1500-year-old bible, however the bible that is said to be worth $28 million is currently held by the Turkish government securely. The holy words are hand written in Syriac in luminous gold lettering on loosely bound together animal hides. Syriac is a dialect of Aramaic – the reported native language of Jesus Christ. Aramaic itself is a nearly dead language, rarely present in today's modern society. Aramaic is only spoken in a small village near Damascus.

According to the Christian Post, merely photocopies of the holy book’s pages are being sold for a staggering $1.7 million. In addition to the age and impeccable construction of the bible, the contents of the holy book is what makes it so valuable. The Gospel of Barnabas is not included in the New Testament alongside Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.

This work opposes the ideas proposed in the widely spread New Testament, and instead has noticeable similarities to the Muslim interpretation of Jesus. The Gospel of Barnabas even contains a story in which Jesus predicts the coming of Prophet Muhammad. Due to this fact, many followers of Islam believe the original gospel work was repressed by the Vatican Library.

the story turned out to be bullshit.....who'd of guessed.

You do not need a book or school - and cannot get - enlightenment or any real understanding from a book or school.

Jesus, like Buddha and others, had a sight, a gift, an anointing, a blessing, etc.

All things are here - right now - this very second - but most people are not given access.

Jesus simply had more access. That's it.

IMO, he was no different inherently than anyone else.

For whatever reason, he was blessed in ways beyond almost all others.

Why?

I dunno.

Islam, Judaism, and Christianity all have the same root.

None of the religions is any more silly than the others(They're all silly, but whatever, people can believe in whatever they want as long as they're not beheading people).

I'm just the messenger, I prefer the philosophical discussions that can arise from articles, for as we all know, most information out there is really just subjective confused by what taints it. It is the speculation, hard and deeply thought out by philosophical thought that can often inspire.

Bottom line, I aim to inspire others to express said deep opinions, not debates on what's bullshit or not. But I completely understad your point, nonetheless, I could say fact, but I'm an admitted paranoid skeptic on what facts are. Facts become fiction over time in a hypothetical theory that our species should still be here in the next Million years. Once, the Earth being flat was a "fact". This is where I am coming from. Sure, statistically, I will not live to see a Million years of progress looking back on our civilization in the 21st century nw. It's a natural side effect of yes, over thinking. But everyone over thinks, its one of the vitalities that drive ambition to study or dicuss and field of science, philosophy, art, futurology, cosmology etc etc and everything else .

[wujuan]

so who says Jesus ain't come back already? I mean we could've done rekilled him or locked him away.

[TheVrist]

Who is to say Christ wasn't the false prophet the Old testament warned the people about?

[invertigo]

It's all a bunch of hogwash

Yes, the Abrahamic religions are related, religious mythologies are equally untrue and beheading people is bad. I meant that it's pretty obvious even from a cursory read that this bible is a modern forgery. It's based on the Gospel of Barnabas a forgery made in the 16th Century.

Of course, the canonical Bible is full of forgeries, too; this is common knowledge by scholars who prefer not to use that term. There is no excuse for falling for modern forgeries, however.
