Jesus has many missing years, but no , sinse he was God in the flesh, he had no sexual desires. (also in those days the Jews married the young as well)
Jesus had no sexual desires? I thought one of the whole points of Jesus was for God to experience what it meant to be human. Jesus endured many temptations. They wouldn't be temptations if they were not something he desired. Jesus was the Son of God, yes, but he was also a man and experienced life as a man. He had desires just like anyone else.
If Jesus was the son of God and he knew it then it would be impossible to experience things the way a lowly man would.
Like if you were a millionaire slumming downtown for a week. Would you know what it was really like to be poor or would you just know what it is like to act poor for a week?
Further, how can scriptures say this if Jesus is God.
John 14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
Note the we. A monotheist God would say I.
You can use your foolish Trinity concept that was forced down Christianity's throat by Constantine but then you would have to do the impossible and explain it in an understandable way.

Well first of all, the concept of Jesus being God incarnate developed over time. John was written long after the other three gospels and it really portrays Jesus in a far different light than the other three do. In fact if you read the gospels in the order they were written instead of the order in which they appear in the Bible (and read the authentic letters of Paul first) you can get a really good feel for how the story of Jesus and what He represents develops.
John isn't my favorite. It tends to be a favorite among modern Christians because it's a lot more inspirational (at least I would argue that it is), but I tend to think that there is a lot more "shining things up" so to speak in John. I prefer Mark myself although that can be frustrating too as the way it was written is really bad.
Yes. Christians took a long time to develop their lies.

Yeah...ok....you know...whatever. Not sure what the source of your hostility is regarding the subject but clearly it eats at you. I imagine you would probably be a lot happier if you just shrugged your shoulders and let people believe what they want.
If you can and just let people think they can kill gays and children whom they think are witches then you do not have much of a social conscience.
