Personally I don't see much in the few words that 'Jesus' spoke as being very different from those spoken a couple of centuries earlier by Plato and Socrates who didn't call upon a supernatural being to hover in the background.

My friend, I think your comparison is totally wrong... the people who fought for Hitler were at war, they murdered other people, innocent people, I never heard that a disciple of Christ to murder people for their belief and because of this to end up losing their lives... It's history, they were murdered for their belief and that's it, they had no intention to murder other people or to create wars, I am talking about the martyrs.

Yes, but those people died, Christ died and came back to life, without this, Jesus would be just like all the other teachers of the past..... and because of this, He is above all the other teachers, Buddha died and all the other died, even to this day, people claim to see Jesus in their dreams, people that had nothing to do with christian religion.Just some time ago I watched the story of a muslim man ( this man sold his friend when they were young because his friend wanted to be christian, his friend was murdered ) who had his child really sick, he prayed and prayed to his god and nothing happened and as a last chance, he decided to pray to Christ too, some time later his child was just fine.This man tried everything before even giving a change to the "higher powers".You rarely hear people talking about dreaming Buddha or any other religious figure.

That is not true, maybe in the circle of people you mix within but I can assure you that people tend to dream about their own personal Teacher/Guru etc :

My answer was slightly tongue in cheek because I know it is a popular theory. In realistic terms I think it unlikely that Jesus went to India because the middle east had never heard of the far east at that time. The Jews did not know India existed. How would Jesus ever manage to reach India should He know it existed? He would have to walk or travel by horse which would take years. It is an unlikely theory. My apologies for goading you.

Yes, but you rarely hear about them and I spend months watching videos about people who claimed to see Jesus or any other religious figure.Just do a search on youtube about people claming that they saw Buddha in their dreams, you will not find many, then search about Jesus and you will see video after video.

Give it a chance and please tell me what do you believe about it, go to Jesus's life, there is an entire chapter or more, it starts from the day He was born to the day He died, year after year with many details.

He traveled around with his great uncle Joseph of Arimathea.
Josheph was a rich tin and metal trader.
The story goes they traveled to England, India and South America.
Joseph of Arimathea was referred to by the Romans as 'Nobilis Decurio' or Minister of Mines to the Roman Government.

Which all lead us to the legends around Glastonbury England after Jesus's Crucifixion.

Speculation of course.

Yes of course its speculation but something I find rather strange. Someone who was and still is so important just seems to disappear from Scriptures.
We know through Archeology that the Roman's were in India so it's not impossible that Jesus also visited. Who knows........
