Child Jesus?

[Thas]

This more seems like a joke of a question more than an actual question? But when did Jesus know he was God? From birth? Did he fall over as a child and just repair his body? I know this is probably a silly question as there is nothing to go by... but I'd like opinions...

We know He knew who He was at about 12.

Luk 2:42 And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast.

Luk 2:49 And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business?

There is the Gospel of Thomas which is not part of the cannon of scripture we know as the bible, and with good reason.

This work is attributed to "Thomas the Israelite" (in a medieval Latin version).

However, the biblical Thomas (or Judas Thomas, Didymos Judas Thomas, etc.) is very unlikely to have had anything to do with the text, though some scholars believe it was a gentile. Whoever its initial author was, he seems not to have known much of Jewish life besides what he could learn from the Gospel of Luke, which the text seems to refer to directly in ch. 19; Sabbath and Passover observances are mentioned.

In any case there is a descriptions of Jesus as a young child. The text describes the life of the child Jesus, with fanciful, and sometimes malevolent, supernatural events, comparable to the "trickster" nature of the God-child in many a Greek myth.

One of the episodes involves Jesus making clay birds, which he then proceeds to bring to life, an act also attributed to Jesus in Quran.

It's a funny read in many respects, but again it's not very bright stuff and it has a lot of archaeological problems that make it not trustworthy. Never the less, it was discovered I think in the early 1940's and it is an old writing, which makes it interesting that someone heard of Jesus and just decided to write it.
