I guess that it was way over your head.

Oh boy, always writes verbose posts that no one can understand but himself. If this offends you mahasattva my bad. I just wish that you would be more succinct. Remember: you are trying to convey your thoughts to others so it would behoove you to be as terse (or to the point) as possible. The long-windedness of it all puts me to sleep. I can't get past the first sentence before my eyelids start to get heavy.

Ok, JIA, the problem is that the Bible has been re-written and changed many times over.
Thus, Biblical account of something is not exactly very reliable.

Jesus could well have been a Buddhist or a Hindu. He must have got his inspiration for what he was preaching from somewhere.

Judaism and Christianity are not very similar.

I disagree. While the stories of certain main characters--Krishna, Jesus and for that matter Moses--all share features which Joseph Campbell pointed out in his book "The Hero with a Thousand Faces," Hinduism and Christianity, as faiths, are very different, the most glaring difference being Hinduism is polytheistic and has been historically very tolerant of other religions, while Christianity, historically, has been neither.

Secondly, Judaism and Christianity are so closely tied together that it may be fair to say that there would be no Christianity if not for Judaism. Christianity was founded by Jews, based on the teachings of a Jew. They have the 10 Commandments in common, up to their divergence a common history. They have a common God. There are probably no two major faiths in the world which have as much in common as Judaism and Christianity.

This is why I always say, Christian antiSemitism is perhaps God's biggest prank.

I disagree.

In the terms of practice as far as modern Christanity is concerned, you're right, they are different.

However, Krishna and Christ life is disturbingly similar. Their life is exactly the same:

Life of Chrishan and Life of Christ:

#6 & 45: Yeshua and Krishna were called both a God and the Son of God.
7: Both was sent from heaven to earth in the form of a man.
8 & 46: Both were called Savior, and the second person of the Trinity.
13, 15, 16 & 23: His adoptive human father was a carpenter.
18: A spirit or ghost was their actual father.
21: Krishna and Jesus were of royal descent.
27 & 28: Both were visited at birth by wise men and shepherds, guided by a star.
30 to 34: Angels in both cases issued a warning that the local dictator planned to kill the baby and had issued a decree for his assassination. The parents fled. Mary and Joseph stayed in Muturea; Krishna's parents stayed in Mathura.
41 & 42: Both Yeshua and Krishna withdrew to the wilderness as adults, and fasted.
56: Both were identified as "the seed of the woman bruising the serpent's head."
58: Jesus was called "the lion of the tribe of Judah." Krishna was called "the lion of the tribe of Saki."
60: Both claimed: "I am the Resurrection."
64: Both referred to themselves having existed before their birth on earth.
66: Both were "without sin."
72: Both were god-men: being considered both human and divine.
76, 77, & 78: They were both considered omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent.
83, 84, & 85: Both performed many miracles, including the healing of disease. One of the first miracles that both performed was to make a leper whole. Each cured "all manner of diseases."
86 & 87: Both cast out indwelling demons, and raised the dead.
101: Both selected disciples to spread his teachings.
109 to 112: Both were meek, and merciful. Both were criticized for associating with sinners.
115: Both encountered a Gentile woman at a well.
121 to 127: Both celebrated a last supper. Both forgave his enemies.
128 to 131: Both descended into Hell, and were resurrected. Many people witnessed their ascensions into heaven.

This, thus, it leads me to believe that Jesus must have been affeliated, in one way or another with a Hindu and Hindu teachings.

In addition to that, both Krishna and Jesus are believed to have been crussified.

Such huge coinsidences cannot be only conisidences. Unless of course you believe Krishna was an 8th incarnation of deity, Buddha was 9th, and Jesus was 10th.

Historical account shows that there is a named Yeshua inscribe in the Buddhist temple in India and therefore Jesus have studied Buddhism with the monks as well....

Indeed. That is the theory.

Mexican historicans also have a theory that Jesus apeared in the Aztec cultures around 1300?(fact check).

lol...while researching Yeshua...the article was clearly written by a Jeswish man...because Voldemort (he who must not me named) was everywhere...😂

Yeshua may have been a common name...and what is the historical account? Is it physical evidence, or documented evidence?

The article is from religioustolerance.com and is a collection of similarities which have been pointed out by various authors.

All authors have collected their evidence in hope to prove where Jesus was.

Second, Please provide me with one book or an official claim, with evidence as to why Jesus was in Mexico.

Im waiting...

Perhaps you could be a bit more specific with your evidence (give me an article rather than a whole site to search through)?

The Jesus at Chichen Itza was realted to me by a guide when I was there. It was 4 years ago and I don't remember much of the specifics. However, at the ballfeild at Chichen Itza there is a "skybox" of sorts, its actually the upper level of the Temple of the Jaguar (pictures).

The Jaguar throne is associated with the Mayan son of god Jun Junajpu, which, after the Spanish invasion, became paralleled with Jesus Christ. Both sons of gods were sacrificed by evil, hung on a cruciform, and the rose from the dead. The Mayan god Jun Junajpu was crucified on a tree, (hence why many modern Maya paint crosses green and adorn them with leaves.

It is my opinion that this legend that I was informed of orally could have been a ex post facto justification (or desire) of a syncritatic religious policy. However, I remember him saying is that someone (a god, specifically referencing Jesus) came to the Mayas and sat on the throne in that box.

I have not found official evidence of this legend elsewhere. However, i thought it was important to relate the religious similarities.

Most things that were not personal experiences were taken from this lecture at BYU. Here. The areas around citations 28 and 35 are of particular interest to my argument.

sorry..dp.

You may want to consider reading your own advice, imo, you probably could quote any of your own posts and place this at the end JIA.

Very interesting! I was unaware of this. Like the website too. I'm pretty sure there is only one true 'religion' but we all look at it through different coloured spectacles.

I see you have learned an important lesson. I am glad that we will no longer receive long verbose posts that no one can understand in the future, from you. 😄

JIA, considering the length of your posts compared to the length of the one you just commented on, that is effectively a troll. Don't do it. This is not the first time you have tried to dismiss a post with a spurious comment that pretty much insults the poster. Consider this a warning.

Shakya has an elephant story...which I will spare you.

Think of looking at the world through different color lenses.

Red and yellow and green and brown
And scarlet and black and ochre and peach
And ruby and olive and violet and fawn
And lilac and gold and chocolate and mauve
And cream and crimson and silver and rose
And azure and lemon and russet and grey
And purple and white and pink and orange
And red and yellow and green and brown
And scarlet and black and ochre and peach
And ruby and olive and violet and fawn
And lilac and gold and chocolate and mauve
And cream and crimson and silver and rose
And azure and lemon and russet and grey
And purple and white and pink and orange
And blue

Each shows you a different aspect of the same true world.

But if you take off the lenses and look at the world with your eyes...you see that all is part of one. All are correct. All are the same.
