did Jesus fully experience life as a Middle Easterner 2000 years ago?
like, was he subject to food poisoning? contaminated water? lice? intestinal parasites? bug bites? prickliness of nettles? did spicy food 'burn' ? Did He have BO ? Could a splinter or thorn pierce his heel? Tooth decay? Eye crud in the morning? Grinding his teeth while He slept ? Leg cramps ?
Seriously. If he was impervious to all of that, did He really 'share' in the ancient time ambience? If He wasn't susceptible to, let's say BO, and everyone else was (why wouldn't they be?) it seems odd it wasn't remarked upon in Scripture.
He also took over the family business after His father died, earning enough money to keep His mother and siblings alive. His hands would have been calloused. After sweating in the hot sun, He would have stank.
As a 12 year old, He was even scolded by His parents for sneaking off without their consent.
His skin didn't prevent a whip from tearing it apart and bloodying His back. Neither did it prevent nails from entering his hands or thorns from bloodying His head.
...and YES - as an infant He shit His "diapers".
