I think that was King Solomon. Jesus spent too much time in the Temple to play with toys.

It was Paul, in 1 Corinthians 13

Heh… but I can imagine a little Lego playset of “The Walls of Jericho” and little toy trumpets that are blown to make them crumble before killing everyone inside to death. It’d probably be very popular today too!

But just like we have toy guns today, I’m sure they played “crucifixion”

Oh… A little Jonah and the Whale playset… hehehe… dear gawd.

@RealEyesRealizeRealLies – I think you’re onto something with the Legos

One of my favorite sites, by the way.

Noahs’ flood bath toys?

Disciple Dolls… Collect all 12! Judas comes with a noose.

@RealEyesRealizeRealLies “I think that was King Solomon. Jesus spent too much time in the Temple to play with toys.”

I read that in just about the wrongest way possible.

His father was Jewish, of course, and a carpenter right? Maybe a wooden dreidel?

wooden swords, maybe. Toy boats (say it ten times fast). A sling.

Instead of an erector set, he probably had a resurrection set.

And instead of that mat that you put on your lawn for slip and slide, he probably had a mat that he laid across his wading pool so he could practice walkin’ on water instead of slippin’ and slidin’.

Course, he would invite 12 of his little friends over, serve them sacrificial Koolaid and corned beef sandwiches and such while they played “Last Supper” which was kind of like the tea parties of their day (girls weren’t allowed).

He probably played spin the bottle with Mary Magdalene.

I’m guessing that he also had one of those magic sets, where instead of pouring milk into a top hat and pulling out a rabbit, he poured water into a yarmulke and turned it into wine.

He probably played hide and go seek with his 12 little buddies, and he was really good at it. Everytime he hid inside a cave, his friends could never find him (even though they saw him go into the cave with their own eyes), but he always showed up later.

The minds of humans, past and present.

A chemistry set that turns water into wine.

A set of “Mouse Ears” for special events at temple.

Rocks and sticks.

I forgot to add: dirt and water.

A Noah’s ark with two camels, two donkeys, two sheep, two doves, a bull and a cow. But no pigs and no serpents.

Maybe small bags of gravel to use at the frequent stonings.
Quiet in the cheap seats, if you please!

His marionettes, when he realised he could do the same with people.

In Jesus’ day, there were plenty of toys. They had leather balls (usually filled with seeds), wooden/clay animals and people, marbles, rattles, clay discus, and even board games (the poorer kids drew the board in the dirt). There were a lot of sports similar to hockey, baseball, soccer and wrestling. They played games like leapfrog and tag. Then, there were the sports that prepared them for war…like archery, javelin, chariot racing, etc.

Kids will be kids, no matter the era. :)

I always thought of it as selfishness and an over-confidence / lack of conscientiousness in his judgement and behaviour.

Or did you actually mean to ask about ancient toys…?

It meant when you get married the fun had better end ! LOLL

He just stopped using telekinesis to pull pranks on Roman soldiers!
