Israelite identity and in later centuries Jewish identity was also expressed in terms of ethnicity and...

HIs first miracle was performed as a fetus, when he came near the fetus of John the Baptist and caused him to jump for joy and his mom to be filled with the Holy Spirt. Then Jesus forgot he was God for 12 years until he performed a second miraculous 3-day teaching in the Temple. Of course this is absurd and it is not what the Gospel texts say in many older Bibles. We know the original New Testaments only allowed "Luke" as the Gospel, but all but a few of the dozen other Gospels were ...
