Yes, He was. Even at the age of 12, He was astounding the authorities of His day.Correct. But it is obviously evident that Jesus was a highly knowledgable and literate.That's because the NT wasn't written until after He left the earth.Jesus was a practicing devout Jew who preached from the OT.He could read.You think Jesus was well-educated?The islam defender seems to lack the most basic knowledge of Islam. Not even Muslims deny that Mohammad was Illiterate. However their answer is that "Allah chose the simplistic and most humble of his beings to convey his message". Yet the Islam's "final messenger" who never read a book, had very specific nasty comments about Jews, Christians, and other non believers.
