A long-forgotten book, left out of the Bible and written nearly 1,900 years ago, reveals secret stories of Jesus’ childhood that the early church kept under wraps for centuries.
Known as the Infancy Gospel of Thomas, the text tells of Jesus performing miraculous feats, bringing clay birds to life, drawing water from a broken pitcher and healing a boy whose leg was injured by an axe.
But it also portrays a darker side, depicting Jesus as vengeful, even cursing a child to death for striking him on the shoulder.
After Jesus kills the child for accidentally bumping into him, the villagers become upset and complain to Joseph and Mary. In response to their accusations, Jesus strikes the accusers with blindness.
The omitted book begins when Jesus is just five years old, while the traditional Bible’s first mention is of him at 12 years old.
In another episode, Joseph takes Jesus to a teacher to learn the alphabet, and the teacher becomes irritated when Jesus laughs at his instructions.
The Infancy Gospel of Thomas was rejected by the early Church because it portrayed Jesus as a violent, petulant child and conflicted with orthodox Christian teachings.
Donald Trump‘s blockbuster peace deal for Ukraine includes unprecedented NATO-style security guarantees, sources have revealed.
The President backed a 28-point draft proposal – based on the Gaza deal – that would treat an attack on Ukraine as one on the entire ‘transatlantic community.’
But the deal, delivered to Kyiv last night, sparked a ferocious backlash as it demands Volodmyr Zelensky cedes territory, slashes troops and holds elections within 100 days.
Washington has threatened to cut intelligence sharing and weapons supplies to press the country into agreeing to the proposal, sources told Reuters.
‘They want to stop the war and want Ukraine to pay the price,’ one of the sources said.
The NATO-style pledge comes after Ukraine earlier this week pushed back on a draft which only included vague security assurances. The new proposal promises to defend Ukraine for 10 years, with a later renewal not ruled out.
Looks like another round of a desperate and fake debunking regarding the Egyptian planes!
These federally-sponsored trends are as fun as they are predictable now :-)
And I can tell you guys with absolute certainty that today I learned the Federal government is in a panic about the mention of their joint DHS, FBI, and DEA office at 920 N King. The tip proved absolutely solid and I was informed so.
It is now a fact that a foreign dignitary was picked up after arriving from Provo the morning of Charlie’s assassination on the Egyptian plane, and then transferred to 920 King for some joint operation.
And yes, despite the massive office space, there is NOTHING else in that building except a law firm (and a place to eat).
The law firm piece is an interesting side fact related to portions of the e-mail that I chose not to read on air.
René Obermann, the head of the aircraft manufacturer Airbus, has called on European countries to equip themselves with tactical nuclear weapons. His statement came in response to the threat posed by Russia’s Iskander missiles, which are capable of carrying nuclear warheads.
According to Obermann, Russia is openly threatening Europe with its Iskander missiles deployed in Kaliningrad, Reuters reports.
“Our Achilles’ heel, it seems, is what Russia is quite openly threatening us with: more than 500 tactical nuclear warheads on Iskander missiles, stationed right on our doorstep in Kaliningrad, as well as those recently deployed in Belarus,” Obermann said on Wednesday, November 19, speaking at the Berlin Security Conference.
In September, Russia deployed Iskander-M systems in the Kaliningrad region, aiming them toward Warsaw. The Airbus chief noted that Germany, France, the United Kingdom, and other concerned states should develop a joint nuclear deterrence program against Russia.
