Also what even the fuck did Mary and Joseph blow all that shit on Why did Jesus have to become a carpenter, couldn't he have just lived on his savings Use the gold to buy off Judas so he won't sell you out for some fucking silverhttps://twitter.com/Nymphomachy/status/1341293544338690048 …

I imagine Mary and Joseph were like the parents of famous child actors that claim the money their child earned for themselves and spend it all, so when the kid grows up they discover they have no money

To be fair to Mary and Joseph it does kind of feel like they upgraded their financial standing considerably after Jesus' birth

Going from giving birth on the floor of someone's garage to a stable middle class existence where they're getting invited to weddings and making the trip to the capital to present Jesus at the Temple

He clearly did get an education as a child, unless you think his knowledge of the Bible popped into his mind by Messiah magic

If you want to view the story realistically, Jesus being a carpenter is a result of Jewish culture at the time demanding that everyone who wanted to be a rabbi have a "real" trade, it was improper to expect religion to be your sole source of support

(Paul, for instance, was officially a "tentmaker") So I mean it would've made sense for Jesus to be expected to spend a "gap year" (or several years) working at his dad's business and saving up before launching his preaching career

Jesus hadn't done anything when the wise men brought him expensive gifts, so they were essentially preordering. It's like they learned nothing from the launch of Cyberpunk 2077
