Jesus lived in India???

However, King Asoka sent missionaries all over the world. And it was mentioned that these Buddhist misssionaries reached the middle east and even as far to Greece and Egypt.

The essences were probably heavily influenced by Buddhist thoughts. And John the Baptist was an essence. Jesus was probably influenced by John and the buddhist missionaries in the mideast.

This seems more highly likely than Jesus traveling to India. I don't think it's possible at all for him to go that far east and why would he?. Feel free to debate this since I'm intrigued by the correlation between Buddha's teachings and Jesus.

Heard that besides John the Baptist, also Mary his mother, and his grandmother anna wre Essenes. and I think some of his diciples..

And thanks Shaky....I'll look at your Sutra site.

Jesus never traveled to India and the bible says so.

the Jews before christ hate gentiles.

they are both very similar

debbiejo, I think you might be very interested in this website since you're bold and have an openmind about the flaws on christianity

Shakyamunison, I've read somewhere here that you're a buddhist(if I'm correct). You would be interested in this as well. And thanks for that link, it was helpful.

Yes I am a Buddhist.

I looked at the link, but the FAQ tab did not work for me, it maybe my system. Would you please send me a copy, of FAQ page, in text format? Or at least some of the most interesting questions and answers.

I wish you great happiness.

I think I know what's wrong. When you point your cursor on FAQ it will say "Frequently Asked Questions" right below it. Click that.

Thanks, that worked. I will have to read it later. I'm a little out of time.

Thank you very much....I always wondered if there was a connection between Jesus and Buddha...Or if he did indeed travel to India...many Christians get very upset when they see statues of Jesus sitting a a lotus (?) position looking like a Buddha and I think this will be a very interesting link........I skimmed through the site and saved it for later....

The ancient documents are listed on Jesus possibly traveling to India...

You know,.....now that I've discovered this site and browsed through most of the links and articles. I've changed my mind. I now think that it is possible that he did lived in India and died there as well.

It's absolutely mind blowing and fascinating that he spent the majority of his life in India than in the middle east. He went there as teen and learned from the Hindus and Buddhists and came back to Jerusalem to preach at age 30. And after surving the crusifixtion, he went back to India and died there at a ripe old age.

What do you think debbiejo, was Jesus really more of a Buddhist/Jain than a Jew?

Jesus never left Israel. He was a carpenter and had to help with Joseph and his business. I have read some history of jesus lost years. He simply played out his life like a regular human until he was called to preach. Jesus never left his hometown that much. He left his home just to go to Jerusalem to celebrate the passover. Jesus doesn't listen to other religions, even through he is god. He would never make a 4,ooo mile trip over a hot desert just to go to a place. back then they were strict on children on were they were going. jesus stayed with Joseph during those lost years if he wanted to survive. being a carpenter was a respectable job back then, but they don't have the money, food, camels, or servants to cross a desert like Abraham did. Abraham was very rich he received alot from both his father and the Pharaoh. jesus knew about the other religions of the world. at the age of 12 he had more wisdom than Solomon and also the teachers of the law of his day. they were amazed that a kid from a carpenter family knew so much. Jesus wasn't an ordinary child. He knew exactly why he was born and what he was to become.

One would have imagined that someone with such an important message would have started preaching early though, to as many as possible. And India has always been a reasonably good place to found religions...

Long before I ever heard about this, I studied the bible. One day I decided to read just the words of Jesus (my bible had red text for what Jesus said). I was having problems with aspects of Church doctrine, having to do with women. I read just the red text, over and over again skipping everything else. I was amazed at what I read; you should try it. What Jesus was saying did not match what the apostles said, and did not sound like Church doctrine. I got tired of hypocrites who quoted scripture out of one side of the mouth and evil out the other. So, I left and turned my back on Christianity. Then I heard that Jesus had gone to Tibet and learned all the sacred writings in record time, he even did miracles there. Now that I know Buddhism, I understand what Jesus was saying.

you know Jesus said, that people would have false teachings of him and his life. do you think God would go to a different country and listen to someone who is the exact opposite of what he teaches? no, Jesus would not and people who claim he went to Tibet don't know what they are talking about and try to confuse and deceive people. now I understand what Jesus was saying about this. people may say jesus went here or there, but jesus said not to believe them, because they give false information.

You don't know anything... Just stop. If you don't like what is being said here and you don't have anything new to say, then just ignore us and leave us in peace. I can tell, the fact that Jesus was more that what you have been toughed, causes you great pain, Please just put me on you ignore list. I will not stop talking about Buddhism and the way it changed my life.

I was trying to defend Jesus. you got to stand up for what is right you know. you can talk about your life and I will not inter fer. but I'm going to say what I believe is right and nobody is going to keep me from doing that. you do the same also.

This could account for the lost years not included in scripture.

I did exactly the same thing....started reading the "Red text" only and saw that it contradicted the other texts, especially Pauls...

Maybe all this new information is what scripture said "And Knowledge will be increased, and for his true people to leave Babylon...the false church and teachings.

Hi Cking

It just seems to me that every time I post about Jesus you shadow me with your post and say the same thing that you said before, just reworded. I want to hear your opinion that’s why I haven't ignored you. No one really knows we are all just having fun talking about thinks like this. I understand how you feel there are some posts that seem to go on as if I had said nothing. That's ok I don't need to said my point over and over again. Have fun while on this site, I would suggest, if this site starts to hurt you, do something else; that's what I would do.

I wish you great happiness.

God told Jesus that he would be rejected by the people and would make plans against him. even the bible says that when Jesus heard what they were saying in their thoughts, he rebuked them even through that haven't said it yet but they were going to. nothing was a surprise to Jesus he knew what people were thinking and how they would react to him. when Judas came to arrest Jesus, the apostles were fighting the temple guards, but Jesus said that all he had to do was pray to god and he would send 12 legions of angels to come save him, but he didn't and he told Jesus to do what he came here to do. Jesus said even at the last supper Jesus said that one of the disciples would betray him. the apostles were arguing on who it would be. Jesus said it would be the one who dipped his bread in his bowl. Judas said, "am I the one?" Jesus said, "yes." Jesus told him to what you came here for. so Judas went to the priests and the priests gave him silver coins to go find him in secret. see, the priests didn't want to arrest Jesus in public and if so they would upset the crowds and it would start a riot against the priests. Another reason is they were jealous of him. Jesus told his disciples that the son of man will suffer in the hands of priests, scribes, and teachers of the law. here are some information about Jesus.

Cking

You don't get it. This is the same thing over and over again. You are now on my ignore list. Goodbye!
