Is there any evidence at all that Joseph of Arimathea even knew the teenage Jesus?

Not sure about the teenage Jesus but he knew Jesus.

King James Bible John 19:38
And after this Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore, and took the body of Jesus

I know he knew Jesus - that wasn't what I was saying.

I was answering your post.

My question was, "is there any evidence that Joseph of Arimathea knew the teenage Jesus?"
And your reply was "maybe not as a teenager, but he did know him" - yes, 20 odd years later.

If Joseph of Arimathea didn't know Jesus when he was a teenager, how could he have taken him to Britain?

Maybe Joseph of Arimathea did know Jesus when he were a teenager, some say that Joseph of Arimathea was Jesus's Great Uncle.

People say all sorts of things; there's no evidence though.

And in your original post you referenced Christadelphians.
Christadelphians are a cult, They don't believe the Trinity, they don't believe Jesus was God and they don't believe in life after death.
True, that doesn't mean they're always wrong about everything, but I'd been very wary of any cult that was attempting to teach the faith.

I didn't realize this, thanks for pointing this out.

I know.....There's is however one person I have detested & that was 'Laurence Gardner' & his books, he must have been part & parcel of the Luciferian movement along with Albert Pike.

I've done it again haven't I ? Just speculating.:rolleyes: Soz ...........

Speculating is not wrong in itself.
We do it every time we read the Bible and think "I wonder what happened then?/I wonder how he felt about that?" and so on?
We may well wonder what Jesus did between the ages of 12 and 30. There is a tradition, or story, that he visited Britain and it's ok to consider that.

I think I was just trying to say that, as far as I know, there is no evidence for this claim.

Then again, many people spend hours discussing the "what ifs" . The one that really annoys me is if there's an election called or a leader resigns. No one knows what is going to happen, but they spend hours going on about the fact that they don't know what's going to happen.

I love this song. If it isn't literally true I wish it was. Got to sing it with a mixed group of Brits and Yanks after a football match in London last spring, and it was wonderful. England!

Jerusalem
And did those feet in ancient time,
Walk upon England's mountains green:
And was the holy Lamb of God,
On England's pleasant pastures seen!
And did the Countenance Divine,
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here,
Among these dark Satanic Mills?

Bring me my Bow of burning gold:
Bring me my Arrows of desire:
Bring me my Spear: O clouds unfold:
Bring me my Chariot of fire!
I will not cease from Mental Fight,
Nor shall my Sword sleep in my hand:
Till we have built Jerusalem,
In England's green & pleasant Land.
