he Infancy Gospel of Thomas and "The Arabic Infancy Gospel" from the Apocrypha portray the Christ Child as a spoiled brat with the powers of a God. When he has temper tantrums he causes terrible events to happen: he maims, he blinds and even casts people dead just for the fun of bringing them back to life again.
		At one point in "The Infancy Gospel of Thomas" Joseph begs Mary: "Do not let him go outside the door - becasue anyone who angers him dies." In one of the strangest of these tales, Jesus becomes bored with his playmates and turns them into goats. The mothers of these children fall down before Jesus begging him to restore them. This story reveals Christ's dual nature as both Saviour and Destroyer, Christ and Anti-Christ.
