In summary: Jesus then approved it with his silent witness.In summary, Jesus did not write his own autobiography, and some of his spoken words or sayings were not recorded in the Bible. Paul and Saul wrote most of the new "T" to follow his respining of the cult's belifes. Jesus then approved it with his silent witness.

Just wonder, if Jesus was Son of God (equivalent to God), he must be very very or infinitely wiser than anyone of us, correct?
Surely he wanted all of us to know him well Without any Doubt, since he is an omnipotent God, this shouldn't be too difficult for him to achieve!

However, he did not write his own biography for his eathly life, why?
Why there is a missing story about him from age 12 to 30 ?

Isn't the story that Jesus from age 12 to 30 went to India?
And also died there?

Appearently we only know about the life of jesus through myhological stories that were written 30 years after he died.

Not very convincing I would say.

He left nothing behind. Nothing written or made by him. He left no children. This was done because if he had left anything behind here one eart it would then become and icon and a religion all of it's own.
It'd own church and dogma. This was not why he came. It is for us to find God within us not worship pieces of paper, wood, parchment, bone, etc.

Somehow, I think the opposite would be true. One aspect of spritually elevated individuals, throughout history, is a strong absence in what we think of as self-oriented ego. An autobiography is hard to be seen as anything else but self-oriented ego.

I'm not quite sure how to answer this, but I'll try to venture a response from a Christian viewpoint. (Self-called "True Christians" may correct me.)

If you believe that Jesus is part of God and that God directly inspired Biblical writings, then He did write His biography/autobiography in part. But the Bible is intended to be a moral guide to a relationship with God, not an autobiography.

Being omnipotent, yes God could make us all believe without any doubt. But one would have to assume that is not what He wants. Rather, He wants people to have free will and free choice to come to Him on their own accord (perhaps that is worth more than puppet praises).

If you accept the Bible, then He did offer his direct proof to some and then recorded that information for future generations to consider. Supposedly He still works in the lives of believers, just in more subtle ways.

Why there is a missing story about him from age 12 to 30 ?

Good question. Perhaps what was recorded was enough to get His message across.


Anyway, that's the response I would expect to hear to your questions.

the only words JC wrote were in the dust
at the stoning of the woman when he said " let he who is without sin cast the first stone"
BUT the words that he wrote are NOT recorded, just what he said after he wrote in the dust

for JC's spoken words or sayings see gospel of thomas for the least edited versions, but no cross, rebirth, or I am god in that lot so the church rejected them.

paul/saul wrote most of the new "T" to follow his respining of the cult's belifes
 

1. Why didn't Jesus write his own biography?

There are a few possible reasons for this. One is that Jesus lived during a time when written records were not as common as they are now. It is possible that he did not have the resources or education to write his own biography. Another reason could be that Jesus was focused on his teachings and ministry, rather than recording his own life story.

2. Did anyone else write a biography of Jesus?

Yes, the four Gospels in the Bible (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) are considered biographical accounts of Jesus' life and teachings. However, these were written by Jesus' disciples and followers, rather than Jesus himself.

3. Was writing a common skill during Jesus' time?

No, writing was not a common skill during Jesus' time. It was reserved for the educated elite, such as scribes and scholars. The majority of people did not have the ability to read or write, so it is unlikely that Jesus would have had the means to write his own biography.

4. Did Jesus leave any written records?

No, there are no written records directly from Jesus himself. However, there are some writings attributed to Jesus, such as letters and prayers, that are found in the New Testament. It is debated among scholars whether these were actually written by Jesus or if they were written by his followers in his name.

5. Why is it important to have biographies written by Jesus himself?

The lack of a biography written by Jesus himself does not diminish the significance of his teachings and impact on the world. The Gospels, written by his disciples and followers, provide a comprehensive and firsthand account of his life and teachings. Additionally, Jesus' message is not about himself, but about the love and salvation he offers to all people, regardless of who wrote his biography.
