Granted.  It doesn't necessarily make your point, but it's plausible.

His parents.  His rabbi.  His Levitical family.  After all, he was the perfect
learner.

"Revealed" is not the word Luke uses.  "Grew" is the word Luke uses.  In fact, Luke
proves my point: Jesus actually grew in favor with God.  Not bad for an inherently
righteous kid. :-)  Luke 2:52 doesn't qualify among those passages we would consider
anthropomorphic.
