This article struck a note in me head, mate.

Jesus to Christians.

St. Essa to Hindus.

Us Ayrabs call him Issa (pronounced Eesa)

Anyways the author tries to explain away the missin teenage years of Jesus's life, by basically stealing commentary from a video on the subject.

The theory is that Jesus traveled to India and studied Hindi and Brahman Masters and studied scripture in Northern India, later going to Greece and etc.

The Hindus have a St. Essa who fits the description if Jesus.

Heres the Article:

Enjoy.

This isn't a paranoid delusion. Delusion = untrue like the other shit on here. This belongs in God forum because this is actually widely believed to be true.

This is not widely believed to br true.

In fact if I was to proclaim this, I would be a heretic.

This article basically states that Jesus's teachings were Eastern or Hindu at their core. Tell me of one Christian that would accept that. Henceforth, you are correct in stating it is not a Paranoid Delusion, but it can be argued that it is speculation that is unaccepted, therefore could be a paranoid delusion to some people.

Anyways it is still an interesting read.

Edit: There are also theories Jesus studied in the Himalayas with da buddhists.

Where do you think the whole vengeful / loving god change came from.

Its bullshit.

And why would you think that there is a vengeful/loving god change?

Because in the OT God goes "I WILL SMITE THEE!", while in the NT he seems to love us all http://www.totse.com/bbs/smile.gif (http://www.totse.com/bbs/smile.gif)

Is it possible for a universal archetype to change over a period of however long the Bible was? I think it's our views that are changing.

I think there is one God that never changes and in reality is simply the underlying and invisible (omnipresent) rule or law which creates, binds, and then destroys the entire universe on a macro(big bang, big crunch, [big chill]) to a micro(planets/stars born/die, human mind incarnates/dies) scale. I think it's this rule which is the cause of evolution. Because there is an internal and sub-real (invisible) order, there is an external and changing, reality based order.



Then there's the individual and sometimes selective archetype of (religion) which is based on a certain group (race) of the human minds perceptual understanding of the order in which divinity and rest of the entire universe exists in, in relation to us and our position in it, of course.

This is the religion which is ordered through emotion and human consciousness. It is shaped by the basis of the human mind's understanding, it's senses, perceptions, or states of consciousnesses.

This varies with time and origin. Yet there's always one common theme or basic understanding which portrays either death, justice, pain, crudeness, restriction, and servanthood, or love, harmony, peace, balance, life, and bliss.

Religion is either bad or good, but that's only according to our angle of it, we can choose to change see without polarity, but we have to prove ourselves worthy by not having a guiltly or unclean concience.



Now imagine that having to prove yourself and become pure of concience is what's seen when religion turns towards the view of the rough and demanding upcoming part of higher life-hood.

At it's only forgotten that later in life-hood the soul, or the essence, or the basis of existence can actually evolve with life and will refine itself when the propper process of experiences is gone through, by free-and self proving-will, of course.



Two stages of evolution would have be present to each other at the same time. The means one is supposed to connect and complete the other.

Once we begin to learn from ourselves and our collective past we will begin to change and reunite and total consciousness. This goes for the entire race, down to every individuals complete and subconscious memory of life.

My god I'm high.

I don't know if that makes sense, I'm pretty sure I veered off there a couple of times. Oh well.

If you read properly you'll see that God has the same personality in both old a new testament. There is definatley still talk of damnation, hellfire, etc in the new testament.

I'm moving this to MGCBTSOFYG.

Might be a bit off track here,but if anyone found the above interesting then they might find the comparisons between Jesus and Krishna interesting as well.

They could almost have been based on the same person - http://www.religioustolerance.org/chr_jckr1.htm
