Ancient texts reveal that Jesus spent 17 years in the Orient. They say that from age 13 to age 29, Jesus traveled to India, Nepal, Ladakh and Tibet as both student and teacher. For the first time, Elizabeth Clare Prophet brings together the testimony of four eyewitnesses―and three variant translations―of these remarkable documents.
She tells the intriguing story of how Russian journalist Nicolas Notovitch discovered the manuscripts in 1887 in a monastery in Ladakh. Critics “proved” they did not exist―then three distinguished scholars and educators rediscovered them in the twentieth century.
Now you can read for yourself what Jesus said and did prior to his Palestinian mission. It's one of the most revolutionary messages of our time.

Noah was another son of God. Where did he put the Dinosars on his Arc?
Around 1500 BCE, there was a migration of Indo-European-speaking people, commonly referred to as Aryans, into the Indian subcontinent. This migration is believed to have had an impact on the region's culture and language. However, it's important to note that the term "invasion" you used can be a subject of debate among historians and scholars. The Aryan migration is considered a complex historical event that influenced the development of ancient Indian civilization.
My question to you was about Hindu and the cast system, Aryan had nothing to do with caste, learn to comprehend. What is the caste system's origin, its ethical implications, and its relevance in the modern world?

- The Apostle of India, about how Jesus' apostle Saint Thomas went to India, and how the Christianity which grew up in India had a totally unique character compared to elsewhere in the world; the history of Saint Thomas Christianity in India and how it was persecuted by the colonialists.
- The Beliefs of Original Christianity
- Special Appendix: Indian Masters Who Considered Jesus One of Them. Stories of masters who had visions of Jesus, and those who researched Jesus’ time in India, including Sri Ramakrishna, Paramhansa Yogananda, Swami Sivananda and others

I was going to give you a little bit more rope so you can hang yourself 🤭
Yes, Thomas the Apostle have traveled to India to spread Christianity and he was even killed there. The question I have for you, what did Jesus instructed his disciples too?
What is the caste system's origin, its ethical implications, and its relevance in the modern world? 🤔
What caste do you belong to in your church? Did Jesus die for the Pastors who sexually molest young boys?
@Mitwah posted:What caste do you belong to in your church? Did Jesus die for the Pastors who sexually molest young boys?
If you understand the definition of caste then you know my answer is NONE. 😁

@Mitwah posted:What caste do you belong to in your church? Did Jesus die for the Pastors who sexually molest young boys?
Yes, He died to atone for the sins of humanity and provide a way for people to be reconciled with God. His death is seen as a sacrifice to offer forgiveness and eternal life to those who believe in him.
Jeremiah 23
23 Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the Lord.
2 Therefore thus saith the Lord God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, nd driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the Lord.
3 And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase.
4 And I will set up shepherds over them which shall feed them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith the Lord.
How can a father God be pleased when His "only" Son is killed for him?
What can you offer to God that is not his?
Please note many Hindus view Jesus/Allah as another deity that one can pray to for well being.

Question 1 Answer: While the death of Jesus involved immense suffering and sacrifice, we as Christians believe that God was ultimately pleased with this sacrifice because it fulfilled His divine purpose and plan for salvation. The New Testament, particularly passages such as John 3:16, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." and Romans 5:8, "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." emphasizes the love of God in sending His Son for the salvation of humanity.
Question 2 Answer: Ultimately, the idea of giving to God when He owns everything isn't about physical possessions but about aligning oneself with deeper spiritual values, cultivating a sense of humility and gratitude, and seeking a meaningful connection with God.
1. Surrender and Humility: Giving to God might involve surrendering one's ego, desires, and attachment to material possessions. It's an acknowledgment of the limited nature of human control and a recognition of God's supreme authority.
2. Offering Gratitude: Expressing gratitude through prayers, rituals, or acts of kindness is a way of giving back to God. This acknowledges the blessings and provisions that are believed to come from God.
3. Service and Charity: Engaging in acts of service and charity can be seen as a way of serving God by helping His creations. This includes assisting those in need, contributing to the welfare of the community, and spreading kindness.
4. Devotion and Worship: Acts of worship, such as prayer, meditation, singing hymns, and participating in religious ceremonies, are considered offerings to God. These practices strengthen the connection between individuals and God.
5. Self-Improvement: Striving for personal growth, ethical conduct, and spiritual development can be seen as a form of giving to God by fulfilling the potential that is believed to be granted by God.
6. Loving Relationships: Building loving and compassionate relationships with others is often considered an important way of connecting with God, as many religious teachings emphasize the value of love and unity among all beings.
I don't believe Christ died on the cross. I don't believe in the act of human sacrifice. Nothing in this world is mine nor is it yours. So what can you offer unto Paramaatmaa that is really yours?
Jesus' death is seen as a sacrificial act with spiritual significance rather than a traditional human sacrifice.

What Does Growth Look Like?
God's character should be increasingly evident in those being transformed by the Holy Spirit.
When branches are full and spilling over with big, bright fruit, we assume the tree is healthy. We may not be able to see the quality of the soil, and we probably didn’t witness the tree being fertilized or pruned. But looking at its boughs, we can see the evidence of steady growth and regular maintenance.
Likewise, fruit in our spiritual life indicates health and maturity in a believer. And today’s passage lists nine traits that show up in our life when God’s Holy Spirit dwells in us: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. But how should we watch for these? What are the signs we’re moving in the right direction? When we’re growing in Christlikeness, these qualities are evident as we:
• Bear with the shortcomings of others.
• Use our words more carefully.
• Give and serve more cheerfully.
• Resist temptation and, when we sin, repent quickly.
• Keep our promises to God and others.
• Respond to challenges with peace and patience.
Most of the people we interact with on a daily basis won’t see our efforts, but they will notice the Lord’s character forming in us. Using the list above, take inventory. Which traits need more emphasis in your life?

Jesus walked everywhere He went. Jesus' presence in India is all, Theory, speculation, and no concrete evidence. The majority of historical evidence and scholarly consensus regarding Jesus' life and teachings is based on the New Testament documents and other related historical sources from the Mediterranean region.
Here are the places he crossed by sea:
Sea of Galilee (Lake Galilee): This is perhaps the most well-known body of water associated with Jesus. He and his disciples are recorded to have sailed across the Sea of Galilee multiple times during his ministry. One of the most famous stories is the calming of the storm, where Jesus calms a fierce storm while they are out on the sea (Matthew 8:23-27, Mark 4:35-41, Luke 8:22-25).
Jordan River: Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist in the Jordan River (Matthew 3:13-17, Mark 1:9-11, Luke 3:21-22). While this isn't a story of sailing across the river, it is a significant event in Jesus' life.
Sea of Tiberias (also known as the Sea of Galilee): After his resurrection, Jesus is said to have appeared to his disciples on the shores of the Sea of Tiberias, where he helped them catch a miraculous haul of fish (John 21:1-14).

Jesus did not die on the cross. He was in a coma when he was taken down. When he came out of the coma, he knew where to find his boys. He went there and found them. They were frightened thinking he was a ghost. He told them to look at his hands and feet and said it was he himself. He implored them to come and touch him. Some probably wet and mess themselves. He reminded them that ghosts do not have flesh and bones as he had.
He was hungry and asked for something to eat. They gave him fish and bread. Ghosts don't have a stomach or guts and they don't eat. That Christ is the Holy Ghost is pure deception.
He later went backtrack to India for his own safety.

Why We Need the Bible
God's Word has the unfailing truth we need for life's decisions, heartaches, and fears.
Has there ever been a time in history when we’ve had access to so much knowledge? Whether you want to fix your car, get dating advice, or make sense of a political issue, someone somewhere is willing to give advice. Books, TV shows, websites, podcasts, and social media all claim to have the answers we need. So why aren’t we more fulfilled?
We often come up empty because those sources lack ultimate, eternal knowledge. And so, the guidance and peace we desperately seek remain elusive. We need something better—we need truth. The Bible meets this need because, from beginning to end, it reveals God to us, assures us of His love, leads us to salvation, and shows us how to live. The Bible is much more than a history text or story book. It’s more than a collection of poetry and wisdom. It is the inspired and living Word of God—timeless, infallible, trustworthy.
The Lord can and does use people and resources to help us grapple with life’s complexities, yet the wisdom we receive from them should always line up with the Bible’s teachings. Where have you turned recently for the answers to difficult questions? How much has Scripture factored in?

If you going to quote the Bible, let us look at the verse before and after your quote.
Galatians 6:7-9: "7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap lif everlasting. 9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not."
What does the above mean?
This passage conveys several key messages:
Consequences of Actions: The passage starts by emphasizing that the principle of cause and effect applies to spiritual and moral matters, just as it does in the physical world. Just as a person will harvest what they plant in a field, they will also experience the results of their actions and choices in life.
God's Judgment: It states that God cannot be deceived or mocked. This suggests that one's actions and intentions are ultimately accountable to God, and there will be consequences for trying to manipulate or disregard moral laws.
Sowing and Reaping: The metaphor of sowing and reaping is used to illustrate the concept of consequences. If someone continually indulges in self-centered and sinful behavior ("sows to please their flesh"), they will experience negative outcomes ("reap destruction"). On the other hand, if someone lives according to the guidance of the Holy Spirit ("sows to please the Spirit"), they will experience positive outcomes ("reap eternal life").
Perseverance in Doing Good: The passage encourages believers not to become weary or discouraged in doing good deeds and living righteously. It reminds them that there is a promised harvest of blessings and positive outcomes, but this requires perseverance and not giving up.
In summary, Galatians 6:7-9 teaches about the connection between actions and their consequences, the importance of living in alignment with the Spirit's guidance, and the encouragement to persist in doing good despite challenges. It's a message of personal responsibility, accountability to God, and the promise of ultimate rewards for righteous living.

Spiritual Gifts
We are all uniquely created and given abilities to uplift others. Have you discovered yours?
If someone asked what your gifts are, what would you say? We may struggle with such questions because we either aren’t sure or don’t want to seem conceited. And sometimes it’s hard to know if something is a gift or a talent. How can we tell the difference?
Generally speaking, a talent is something that you’re naturally good at—such as sports or art or science—and can excel at through training, practice, and experience. It can be a combination of innate ability and skill. A gift, biblically speaking, is something the Lord has deliberately given you, based on His purpose for your life.
If you’re a believer, then He’s given you a gift. It might be teaching, preaching, exhortation, giving, or hospitality. It might be something else. Believers have different gifts, and that’s the beauty of the body of Christ: Our differences can work together in unity just as the parts of a human body with different functions all work together (Romans 12:4-8).
Also, consider that it’s possible for our gifts and talents to work together. In fact, that’s exactly what God wants for us—to lead whole, integrated lives and to be completely ourselves wherever we go.
What do you think your spiritual gifts are? How might God be calling you to use them in a fuller way?

I am asking you and it seem that that you have no clue. You worship idols made by fellow man and call it your gods. As Habakkuk 2:18-20 stated,
"18 What profiteth the graven image that the maker thereof hath graven it; the molten image, and a teacher of lies, that the maker of his work trusteth therein, to make dumb idols?
19 Woe unto him that saith to the wood, Awake; to the dumb stone, Arise, it shall teach! Behold, it is laid over with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all in the midst of it.
20 But the Lord is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him."

Listen dummy. You do not know me. Where is your evidence that I worship idols and call them my gods?
Stop lying to the people that your Jesus died on the cross.
Ignoramus, there are thousands of Christians out there who have found faithful, loving ways of expressing worship both to God and to idols, without compromising either their faith or their view of Scripture. Put that in your pipe and smoke it with the other stuff your are inhaling.
Jesus said absolutely nothing about idols in any of the four Gospels. Jesus had no problem with idolatry. He included everyone, however many gods they worshiped.
Altar boy, if you want to be like him, then you should adopt his inclusiveness.
You are blind to divinity. Folks and even Christian folks use Idols to help them focus in their worship.
Don't you have an image in your mind of Christ on the cross?
Jesus did not die on the cross.
I wouldn't resort to name-calling or similar behavior; I've moved beyond that. Both of us understand that you're not receptive to comprehend. Concepts need to be explained in simpler terms, yet you struggle to grasp them.
No one reaches the Father except through Jesus Christ, sent to save the lost. He died on the cross to reconcile us with the Father. Forgiveness and reconciliation with God the Father are possible due to His sacrifice.
I'm not blind; I worship a real God. I can attest to His actions in my life, from where I started to where I am now. He's blessed me beyond imagination. The God I serve is truly wonderful.
We Christians don't worship idols, get your facts straight but just don't take my words for it Google it. Hindu involve the worship of deities through physical representations, do you care to dispute this?

You failed to prove what you're claiming. As I said before it's all speculation on your part and no concrete evidence. My evidence is in the Bible. There are historical references to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ in various Jewish and non-Jewish sources. The New Testament of the Christian Bible provides an account of Jesus' crucifixion, and some Jewish texts from that time period also make indirect references to it.
