Wow...

I think I might have mentioned this before, but I never knew before I took this class that anything outside of the canonical Bible existed. I thought some of the other stuff we have read was interesting, but the Infancy Gospel of Thomas blew my mind! No wonder this wasn't included in the Bible! According to this, Jesus acted like any other bratty child except he had the power to kill kids that made him mad! Of course people couldn't lend any real credit to this because it would destry the image of Jesus being perfect and faultless. This kind of negates the whole "Honor thy father and mother" commandment...
