I heard on the history channel that a Chinese ...?

Question

... manuscript noted that a man named Jesus was crucified in Jerusalem. The manuscript was said to have been written within 5 years of the event. I can't find any info on the internet about this. Has anyone else heard this claim?

Answer 1

Google it!

Answer 2

I'd say this is a fraud.  Given that there are no contemporary accounts of jesus' execution in Judea, much less Rome, it seems absurd that someone would travel all the way to China simply to document such a fact. This sounds like someone committing a pious fraud. And I've not heard of this particular claim until now, though I'm familiar with claims that Jesus travelled to India or China during his "missing" years.

Answer 3

you would look up the topic under The Lost Years of Jesus.

Some Tibetan monks believe Jesus came to Tibet between the

wedding of Canaa and His ministry.  Mormons think He went to North America....All kinds of ideas out there, none of which have anything to do with the validity of the Gospel message.

Answer 4

Um... no. The Romans don't even mention the crucifixtion of Jesus and it happened on their turf. Perhaps you simply heard wrong.

Answer 5

I have heard this

Answer 6

check the history channel again.

Answer 7

A Search for the Historical Jesus

by Professor Fida Hassnain

from Apocryphal, Buddhist, Islamic & Sanscrit Sources

Chapter 20

Buddhism and Christianity

During his first journey to India, Jesus had lived with Buddhists for six years. According to the Buddhist scrolls at Hemis, "The Buddha had elected him to spread his holy word. " As such, he had become a perfect expositor of the sacred scriptures. The following information recorded by Meer Izzut-Oolah, the early nineteenth century Islamic traveller, is full of interest:

Every Tibetan makes one of his sons a Lama - the one who has forsaken the world. Both male and female Lamas remain unmarried like priests and nuns, and are the spiritual guides to the people. They do not worship the idols kept in their monasteries, which they declare are merely representations of departed saints. Some of these figures are said to represent a certain prophet, who is living alive in the heavens, which would appear to point to Jesus Christ.

The Tibetans consider their scriptures to be inspired, and contain many moral precepts and exhortations to worship God, to fulfil promises, speak the truth and abandon what is evil. It is commanded that if any man takes away your sheet, you give him your cloak also. Again, if anyone strikes you on one cheek, you tell him to strike the other cheek also. Many of their observations are similar to those of Christians.

Their great feast is held at the time when the sun enters Capricorn, corresponding with Christmas. Another similar custom is to swear in the name of Trinity, which they term as 'Wunchok Sum' or 'Gods Three'. In the infiiction on themselves of heavy penances also, the Buddhist monks resemble the Christian priests. The Tibetans assert that their original scripture was in a language now become unintelligible to them and has been translated to them. I was informed that some portions of the Bible had been revealed to the Tibetans.

I do not know who borrowed from whom. But I am struck by the extraordinary similarity between doctrine, traditions and rituals of Buddhism and the Catholic Church. Even their ranks in monastic orders resemble each other. Both Buddhists and Roman Catholic monks take vows of celibacy, poverty, chastity and obedience. It is amazing that both Buddhists and Catholics make suffrage (intercessory prayers), alms, prayers and offerings on a similar model. This similarity is so striking that one scholar made the observation that "Buddhism is the Christianity of the East and as such is in better conservation than is Christianity, the Buddhism of the West".

It would be ungrateful on my part if I did not mention that it was the research treatise written by Mirza Ghulam Ahmad which impelled me to take up researches pertaining to Buddhist sources on the life and works of Jesus Christ. In his treatise, the learned scholar has given thought-provoking ideas about similarity between Christianity and Buddhism. He has pointed out that both Jesus and the Buddha were tempted by the Devil. The mode of teaching in parables is the same with both of them. Their titles are similar, their teachings are similar and even some of their parables are the same. Both make the same claim: "I am the Light and the Way".

Jesus ~ Sananda ~ the Pale Prophet, personally brought his teachings all over the world here is yet another accounting

The Lost Years

of Jesus

Ancient scrolls reveal that Jesus spent seventeen years in the Orient. From age thirteen to age twenty-nine, he was both student and teacher.

The story of his pilgrimage from Jerusalem to Benares was recorded by Brahmanistic historians.

Today they still know him and love him and worship him as St. Issa. their 'buddha'.
