@@byronjones9786 You know he is at least worth checking out. I’m here for the TRUTH that’s what I let guide me. That and my read on people. I personally think we got the old switch aru. It’s always in the eyes for me. Notice how Billy NEVER made eye contact. That said it all. I knew right then. This other guy does the EXACT opposite and notice how he is forcing his eyes like that with his eye brows. My take is he is trying WAY to hard to maintain eye contact. Red flag for me. But if he leads me to the next clue ya never know. There is no doubt in my mind we were made by Anunaki. And now they are coming back. It’s going to get real Star Wars around here soon. Have a great day and enjoy your journey of enlightenment.
This character Wes accepts only the writings of “man” as his version of the truth, which is acceptable to him. As the saying goes, “the victor writes history”, reflecting a form of controlled manipulation.
Wasn't it nice to shut down Billy and his anti Christian agenda. What happened did Billy make a deal with Satan to bash Christ and I'll give you a platform. Is that what his alien encounter was ?
Wes...saw your Joe Rogen interview!!!!! WOW is all I can say. You're storing up some treasure in paradise. The interview was so good that my son sat for 3 hours listening instead of gaming on Discord! I am witnessing a miracle. I do feel bad for Mark, tho. Hold strong, brother!!!!!!! Keeping my family in prayers!!! Love to all my brothers and sisters ❤️
JESUS CHRIST WAS TEACHING JAINISM. Jesus' teachings on forgiveness, giving up all possessions, celibacy, asceticism, humility, non-attachment to the world, seeking perfection, helping the poor, and at least one of his parables do not come from Judaism but from Jainism which was prevalent in ancient Palestine and northern Egypt in the form of the Greek Cynics and the Gymnosophists who also greatly influenced the Greek philosophers before Jesus. The evidence of Jain influence on Jesus Christ is found both in the New Testament and in the Gospel of Thomas. Early Christianity was an ascetic and vegetarian religion that followed the example of the Gymnosophists, as in Paul of Thebes, Anthony of Egypt, the Desert Fathers, and John Climacus. The Christian monastaries and convents of the Middle East and Europe codified many aspects of Jain monsticism but modified them. Jainism influence most religions and cultures in the world and today no part of the world has been untouched by the awesome influence of Jainism.
@@OmniGeorge It hurts to see such content. Please pay close attention to the video and read the bible, you will be suprised: everything you stated is crazy false.
@@LiebeWahrheitFreiheithow would reading the Bible help verify the contents within the Bible? If I said Harry Potter really flew on a broomstick please pay attention to the sorcerers stone page 67. Would that provide any validity to my statement? Wes says the infancy narratives are unreliable because they are written after Jesus is dead and had cultish followings in its aftermath. What an ironic thing to say. 1 minute later he quotes Matthew and holds him to none of the scrutiny of the infancy narratives. Wes just automatically assumes he is reliable. He mentions none of the scholars who debate the authorship of Matthew or the fact his gospel was also written after Jesus was gone or the fact there were many more cultish denominations that arose in the wake of various changing texts even stemming from “reliable” gospels. The gentleman above used critical thinking to show where aspects of Christianity showed up previously before. He is way closer to the truth than you. Wes’ little side eye glances when referencing Jesus to anything from eastern culture says everything. Jesus didn’t go to India because you don’t want it in your narrative. Period. Dogmatic people are so predictable, open your eyes
@@LiebeWahrheitFreiheitmy reply was so good it got deleted. Why would someone use the Bible to fact check itself? What if I said Harry Potter really flew in a broomstick, see page 67 of the sorcerers stone. Does that give me any more validity? Wes is so inconsistent with the child narrative and the assumption that the gospel of Matthew has the same reliability it makes no sense. I’m not going to read Matthew to determine the truth about mattthew lol. The gentleman is above is making connections using critical thinking and could very well be on a path to truth, how do you or Wes know where Jesus was if it’s not stated clearly
@@AronD-fp5oq "Dogmatic people are so predictable, open your eyes" Well said, stay where you are, if you like to. Although I pray for you to find your peace with Jesus! I might be dogmatic, seems pretty human. But, maybe other people in this discussion are as well? There are contradictive records of Jesus, because some people had problems with the true Jesus and therefor fabricated their own Jesus. It helps todays sceptics to deny Jesus as well. There are good reasons, Metthew is believed and others are not, but I don't want to go in those details.
No, not a blessing for the Christians... Now they're even more stuck. The God of this world which is keeping the control going, didn't like people waking up to the truth. No problem, we are in the age of Aquarius now, and the powers that were will be falling and they can't stop it. Right along with Religion.
@@WideOpenWokepodcast Satan is the god of the world and of the Age of Aquarius, the world is in disarray, disease and death run rampant. Looks about right
@@WideOpenWokepodcastthe truth is people are spirtually dead in their sins and alienated from God, until they are forgiven of sins and recieve the Holy Spirit and become a new creation! New age beliefs are bondage, did that for a while and suffered badly from it.
@WideOpenWokepodcast "The God of this world which is keeping the control going, didn't like people waking up to the truth" What is even your theology? You think there is a God who is in control, yet you rebel against him why? "Age of Aquarius" just astrology bs mixed with whatever new age spirituality you picked up from TikTok huh? Isaiah 47:13-14 "All the counsel you have received has only worn you out! Let your astrologers come forward, those stargazers who make predictions month by month, let them save you from what is coming upon you. Surely they are like stubble; the fire will burn them up. They cannot even save themselves from the power of the flame."
@@MrJohnhunk again just be careful we've seen this play before I'm not going conspiracy just saying be careful they still have history still being deciphered there's alot we don't know. I remember being told humanity only 6000 years old how that sound now?
Praying for Billy to see the light and come to Christ. There is still hope for him. I was deeply immersed into the new age cult and got into "Christ Consciousness" and THAT experience is what lead me to Jesus because I went to Hell on a really bad DMT trip and it forced me to cry for Jesus to save me. I've never been the same ever since praise the Lord. I know if God can save me that he can save Billy too. He just needs to be humbled. This is only the beginning for him.
I have often suspected this is a big part of it when I see people who have gone from plant medicine or witchcraft to Jesus is they saw something so scary they had to run back to Christianity instead of face their fears
When I first saw Billy on YT, I had just started my Christian journey. With my faith being so new, hearing Billy talk about Christianity had me second guessing and really caused internal conflict in my beliefs. Why I didn't try to research Billy's claims is beyond me and frankly lazy on my part. But I let his statements linger in my thoughts. And I remember praying to God asking him that if what Billy said was false to reveal it to me. Thank you God for answering my prayers and thank you Wes for fighting for Christianity.
Thank God you stayed on the path of truth!! Satan was fighting for your soul! I pray that more and more people will take the time to seek the truth instead of just believing , very convincing, false teachers. 🙌 Let’s get busy spreading the gospel, praying for the lost and making Heaven crowded!!! ❤
Same! I have been a believer in Jesus for some time now (used to be a Muslim). Only because of the debate with Billy Carson, I got to know about Br. Wes Huff. Very honoured to know Br. Wes. 🙏🙌✝️
Thanks Wesley, just recently found about of you through (who else,) Joe Rogan et al, and am enjoying your clear and informed explanations, with a solid foot in good theology! God bless you, brother!
I discovered your channel through What Do You Meme? I appreciate your debates with Billy Carson-it's quite entertaining to see how he tries to jump around your questions. It often seems like he’s looking for a way to evade the argument, which adds a light-hearted touch to the conversation. Keep up the great work! 😊 I pray to God you have more encounters audition in your channel. ✝️🙌
Crazy how god can use people with bad intentions and even spreading false information to ultimately lead us to truth. Without Billy I never would have found Wes, and this guy is awesome. Loving his work
How about when he says that everything in his ministry points to a jew, with no indian or Chinese influence? Or when he quotes the Bible when His neighbors said they knew Him well and were disqualifying Him as just one of them?
I’m happy your channel is getting so much traction, because apologetics is what most Christians are missing to not only strengthen their faith, but to share it as well. Thank you Wes!
Jesus lived an average 1st century Jewish life, without sinning according to the Law . Because the problem had been that no mere mortal could live that righteously, Jesus came to do that, fulfilling the covenant. So the fact that he was a regular boy learning his father’s trade as a tektōn, and then doing the work and travel as an nomadic rabbi, fits the local custom and culture.
Facts. Jesus WAS God incarnate. He was teaching in the Temple at 12 years old. He knew false doctrine when he heard it. He did NOT go learn the false doctrine of India. Absurd!
@@jaydublisIS.** But what makes it false other than it being different to your tradition. I doubt Christ would outright reject the Hindu culture. Except for perhaps the polytheistic component. Rather He would find appreciation for the positive aspects of it. The whole Unity With God Aspect is right in line with Jesus' teachings. After all that is what He was and is teaching and encouraging us to cultivate and foster. 🙏🙏🙏
@@J.X.Sanchez777 This is certainly bringing glory to the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. I'm sure Br. Wes appreciates that. Because more and more people are coming to faith in Jesus. I read a comment of a former Muslim who joined New Age. Because of the debate with Billy Carson, this person turned to Jesus Christ. 🙏🙌✝️
As an Indian Christian ✝️ I can affirm that ability to cook false theories in regard to Jesus is beyond understanding by Hindus and similar religions… It’s not just misguiding matter but a mockery of Jesus in their mindset.. as an Indian Christian we do face this accusations and associations of Jesus being Hindu and what not nonsense every single day by Hindus.. They call us Indian Christian’s converts for money and rice bags and sell off.. The racism in India towards Christianity is all time high at the current year and age, especially with the political back up and power of organisations like BJP, VHP, RSS, Christians and faith if Christian’s are all time high risky.. they simple want Christian’s to be terminated and outcasted.. Meanwhile all the west Christian countries are welcoming Hindus and Indian natives to their country and allowing to open temples on large scale and let grow their Hindu religion easily without restrictions, In India on the other hand 300+ churches are destroyed every single year.. This doesn’t surface in any Indian media but you all can search and see the reporting done by some brave people in India to do not support this, just try searching ATROCITIES ON CHRISTIANS INDIA, the results will shock you
Know before ye speak. In Shreenagar there is a two thousand years old grave of saint Isa. Many old people of Shreenagar know the legend. Many great sages went to visit it. Jesus came for the world, not for Jews only. He is the Christ of the world.
@@abhishekconstantinewinches9907 We are definitely not talking about the same Jesus. The Jesus of Christianity (i.e the historical Jesus ) does not have a grave in Shreenagar. He was buried in the tomb of Joseph of Arimathea, from where He resurrected on the 3rd day, forever victorious over death.

About 8:02, you say that Buddhism didn't reach Nepal until the 7th century, so Jesus couldn't have studied Buddhist philosophy there. This is untrue. Siddartha was born in what is now southern Nepal and Buddhism was introduced to Nepal during the Buddha's lifetime, which was several hundred years before Jesus's life. Also, to refute an earlier point made that Jesus would've been the ancient's world's most accomplished traveller... The people that spread out and crossed Asia and then the frozen land bridge to America made their crossing an estimated 23,000-30,000 years ago. People were moving around quite extensively much earlier than most people realize.
And also not to forget People were regularly traveling father than that for education or trade or for adventure India to Egypt China to India India to Greec and Rome to India Europe to China
@@dv9239 There's also the story of the three wise men, who are said to have come... *from the East*. They were def not local wisemen. What if they went on in their travels to say Egypt or just studied from Jews in the area, and then 10 years later made a return trip... *with* a now 10 year old Yeshua in tow. He makes his return trip in his mid to late 20's and is back before 30.
Of course there is also the theory. That all humans came from Africa. True or not. But humans traveled thousands of miles probably. Already 50.000 - 100.000 years ago. It's not that difficult. Just start walking one day, and keep on walking for months. Later with a small boat or canoe it became much easier to travel long distances.
@villakepuhwarungnongkrong297 just about everything besides the beginning of the video, everything after the "Sinai Bible " if you couldn't see or didn't know that maybe you should read more.....
@ I read every day thanks, but no one can possibly know everything so your comment is redundant. I would have been interested in what you had to say but your rudeness has lost you all credibility
@villakepuhwarungnongkrong297 no and it is possible to everything it's called common sense but that's not common especially with ppl like you if you're slow just say that but this shit ain't rocket science slow guy
I don’t know who you are beyond dismantling some other dude I’ve never heard of in a debate on a channel I’ve never heard of 🤣😂 … but now I look forward to listening to what you have say. See, you never know how what you do will work out. 👍🏻👍🏻
I don't understand the dismantling hype he's getting. He seem stumped alot himself. If your open minded it was what should've happened and nothing more
Wes you made many good points, but there are a few errors. I want to point out 2 big ones. They don't change you argument but they don't support it either. First: As you correctly state, it seems unlikely he would have traveled the many miles between Palestine, which was under Roman occupation, and India. However, there was a massive trade between India and the ancient Roman world going back centuries BCE. India was the source of luxury goods (at and around the time of Jesus), leading Pliny to complain about all Rome's gold going there. The comparison with Alexander the Great isn't a great one(lol) because he went to conquer rather than to trade. Second, you state the spread of Buddhism to Nepal was centuries AFTER the life of Jesus. In fact, it was centuries before. Buddism is much older than Christianity and had spread across India and far across Asia by the first century BCE. Given that Buddhism was a major religion (along with many others at that time) and the trade with India, it is not unlikely that Jesus and others in ancient Roman Palestine would come across teachers of Buddhist philosophy.
Spices came from India, and further East. Probably already then and still today. Later Silk came al the way from China, probably by the same route. And yes, Alexander traveled with 45.000 soldiers, something completely different.
Meant with no disrespect, if we believe Jesus performed miracles and could even walk on water.. then what boundary could keep Jesus from traveling to India or anywhere? Didn't the silk road exist at that time? Truly trying to understand. Jesus is love and is good, always.
Yes silk road is a thing for sure. People traveled already in those times, for trade or business of course. Even by boat easier and quicker to travel to India from Palestine or Egypt than over land.
Look up The Life of Saint Issa, The Jesus Cave, or The Autobiography of a Yogi. There’s plenty of evidence Jesus Christ made the journey at 12 years young to India to visit the 3 wise men from the East who were at His birth in Bethlehem. I don’t know why Christians find this so hard to comprehend. Even the word “Amen” comes from the Sanskrit “Aum.” Christianity is more similar to Hinduism than it is different. Unfortunately, Christians are too arrogant to even research into this topic. The evidence is there for those who want to know the Truth.
He could have, but he didn't. Why would he have done such a travel? Let's stick to his own words in Matthew 15: “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.”
God is the same yesterday today and forever, then Jesus came along with a new way of looking at Judaism. Which is why the Old Testament is the Jewish tanakh and the New Testament takes after Hinduism. It’s pretty easy to see how the religions evolved from one another. Making the statement: same yesterday today and forever- pretty inaccurate.
Great work, did see these stories flying around. As someone who was born and raised in an Hindu family, I would say Jesus would only have rebuked such practices instead of following them. Keep up the good work, God bless you!
@@JesusSaves77799he said that because they gave a few bags of rice to this man's family and then they happily converted to the other religion and you know he works for that convertor proving he's able to commit magic like healing illnesses and making leg less people walk 😁
@@psynda😂😂😂 basically u confessed that all Hindus are either poor or gluttons and stingy people..... Cannot even provide basic food for their fellow religionists.😂😂😂😂
@@psyndawhat are even saying? Hinduism is an inhumane religion! You came up with the cast system, for crying out loud! The living conditions are deplorable in india and so are the lives of many sick and poor children and families, who, according to your wicked beliefs, are just paying off their karma, and are left to fend for themsleves prettymuch. It is a never-ending cycle of wickidness and perversion. Not to mention the utter absurdity of the hindu religion as a whole. It is stupid, it is wicked and it is full of violence!
Honestly ive gone from watching a video on religion probably once a year to devouring YOUR videos one after one in the space of a couple hours! Thanks for sending me Billy
He was in Nazareth: "And He went down with them and came to Nazareth, and He continued to be subject to them; and His mother treasured all these things in her heart. And Jesus kept increasing in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and people." - Luke 2:51-52
@CHIPBUCKS yes. Like any witness account, you don't give details that don't add to the story. Jesus lived a pretty regular life as a child you could gather. Him in the temple when He was 12 is the only thing noted really from His childhood besides His birth and that story. Significant details weren't left out, what was left out was details about how He grew in stature and wisdom, which aren't relevant to why Jesus came in the first place.
The Holy Spirit of Yah is at work within Wes Huff, destroying the evil spirit at work within Billy Carson. As the truth wins over lies, the Lord is opening the eyes of the spiritually blind. The debate in which Wes dismantled Billy is an instant classic and an exponential teachable moment that will live and grow until the coming of Christ. Thank you, Wes. Glory to God Most High!
Maybe Yah-hoo. Wes has overt fails, people like him cause he acts like a nice guy. The guy he "debunked", I could have debunked. Anyone researching this type of stuff, even as a hobbyist, knew guy's sources were bunk.
@anthonycarlisle6184 Well, I also could've shredded Billy. Light work yo. That wasn't my point. I didn't give credit to Wes because he was nice. Nice people can be wrong too. I did it because he spoke the truth according to Yah's Word and facts. When you shred Billy Carson like that maybe you'll get props too. Glory to God above all, though.
@@anthonycarlisle6184 ... Yes people make it to simple. For obvious reasons, because that is always convenient. If Billy Carson is wrong (and he is at some points, he is going to fast for his own good i think) but that doesn't mean that Wes is right about everything. Probably they are both, sometimes right, and in some cases wrong.
I had a World History professor at a University ask where Mary and Joseph took Jesus when Herod was trying to kill him, and when I answered Egypt, she said "Well that's one claim, but it's actually more likely that Mary and Joseph took him to India and raised him there." and then proceeded to try and show all of the ways Jesus was influenced by Hinduism. I was baffled where that came from, and that it was being taught as fact. Thanks for refuting this theory so succinctly.
"It's more likely" don't you just love it when people use words like that with no basis whatsoever. It's more likely that he traveled thousands of miles to India, rather than right next door to Egypt? Amazing how people can be so educated and yet so foolish at the same time.
It's such a stupid theory too if you're trying to demonstrate Jesus could have been influenced by eastern thought too, considering Alexandria egypt had a thriving Buddhist community in the first century due to King Ashoka's missionaries.
I don't think he did though. He basicly spent this entire video saying he doesn't know and it doesn't matter because the youth of other historical figures doesn't have as much detail. That doesn't tell us anything and is designed to keep the mind trapped in the narrative.
@ejppomeroy, She was most probably a member of one of the orange and/or maroon-cladded HariRama HariKhrisna groups who had paid homage to the Hindu Gurus of India. John Lenon of the famous Beatles band was responsible for making them popular. These Gurus were adept in spinning some tantalizing, mystical tales and were able to enrich themselves (receiving gifts of Rolls Royces even) with donations from their ardent followers. These Gurus have since lost their appeal as we don't hear much about them these days.
I am so glad and blessed to meet this Man of God. What an amazing time!!! Funny parts, I am more obsessed with how many subscribers he's gaining. 🤣🤣 At this point... 321K. When I checked the day before, he was on 303K. Over a day, 20K people learnt the truth about Jesus...! That... I love. "And 5000 people were added to the church", Acts 4:4.
I met a man outside of grocery store once who told me his practice with Buddhism and Hinduism and told me from 8-30 that’s when he went to Asia and why the values of each other line up. Idk but I choose to believe him and believe that part was erased out of modern context.
Luke 4:16 He went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom. He stood up to read, "where he had been brought up" "As was his custom", a custom or tradition is something an individual is following for a long period. That means he was reading in synagogue since his brought up years. He never came to India. If he did he would have preached polytheism too.
Yeshua's teachings have been hand picked to fit the narrative of control. I mean that in the sense that anything he learned and shared a little that didn't fit that narrative i.e. the nostic texts wasn't excepted and put in the cannon.
Hinduism isn't polytheistic. They believe that gods are only forms and appearances of the one, all-pervasive Brahma. The real distinction isn't about how many gods there are. It's duality (us and God separate) vs non-duality (all pervasive God that includes us). Elohim is a plural word btw, so you get polytheism in the creation myth in the bible too. Good luck on your journey of self-discovery.
I was brought up, and born, in a town, in the Netherlands. That doesn't mean i spent every day of my life in that town in the Netherlands. That is modern time, with vacations and traveling, holidays, work. . Back then people also traveled, only it took more time to travel. But you could travel. And people did.
@petervermeer.4904 Luke 2:39. When they had done everything required by the Law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee to their own town of "Nazareth."( Not India) 40. And the child grew and became strong; he was filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was on him. (He was already filled with wisdom not by visiting India or doing any Indian ritual. And this is happening in "Nazerath". 51. And he went down with them and came to "Nazareth"(Not India), and was obedient to them; and his mother kept all these things in her heart. 52. And Jesus increased in wisdom and in stature, and in favor with God and man.(He was increasing in wisdom and favor of God and man, didn't needed the travel to India for enlightenment) Aftter his Baptism when he started his ministry: Luke 4:16 He went to Nazareth(not India), where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom. He stood up to read,and the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him.(It was regular custom for him to stand up read in synagogue, nobody can just stand in synagogue and he was known as wise and worthy of reading a scroll. Even today you can't just enter a synagogue and start reading or preach. The custom was not of india but a Jewish custom.) Matthew 2:19 After Herod died, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt 20 and said, “Get up, take the child and his mother and go to the land of Israel(Not Egypt,not India), for those who were trying to take the child’s life are dead.” 21 So he got up, took the child and his mother and went to the land of Israel(Not India) 23 and he went and lived in a town called "Nazareth."(Nazerath is called his own town since his birth time till he began his ministry. If there were any records of him travelling outside Israel they would have been written in atleast one gospel or say any New testament book. But you see there is not even a single verse about it, its always been "Nazerath." Mark 1:9 At that time Jesus came from Nazareth(not India) in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.(He did not take a trip to yoga land for enlightenment but was in Nazerath before beginning his ministry) If he went to India and learnt their teachings he would have mentioned Karma and reincarnation. His teachings contradict all those eastern traditions. Pretty clear verse as follows: John 3:18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.(Salvation is only through Jesus not karma not, good deed but who believes in son) John 3:36 Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on them.(There is no cycle of reincarnation but its directly an eternal life) Luke 11:24 Empty heart and mind is a place for demonic possession.( The indian traditions, yoga/meditations, Buddhism all those teachings tell you to empty your heart and mind. But Jesus here says it brings more demons. Another classic contradiction). Mark 12:29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:( Jesus talks about one God not many gods and goddesses but one true God.) John 14:6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.( New age, eastern teachings preach there are many ways to attain salvation but here Jesus clearly contradicts them all and yes I am the only way.) Every Travel that Jesus did had a purpose whether its Egypt, capernahum, Galilee, Nazerath, Jericho,etc. And they have been mentioned in all four gospels. I'm sure if he ever travelled to India atleast one of them would have written about it or say any historian like Josephus would have accounted it. Travelling to India would never help in fulfilling his purpose to take world's sins, die on cross and ressurect to give eternal life.
@@thomashoppes8594 I live in India and have seen and even part of their festivals like Diwali and holi, offcourse not the worshipping the idols. Why did their God needed so many different avatars and still couldn't fulfill a particular purpose. Jesus came down once and he fulfilled every single purpose of salvation till eternal life. The Gods that they have are just fallen angels and that is why they have "Sura" and "Asura". The practices that Hinduism include around me is worshipping a demon spirit which they call Maa refering mother. These spirits help them gain financial and other needs. So if their needs are not fulfilled they would even kill one of their family members which is the work of demon. On the contrary, Jesus's teachings where about grace, love and salvation. Elohim has been clear through out the bible, the spirit moved on the waters, the father was there in old testament and whenever God appeared to humans say Daniel's fire or Moses etc. it was always Yahshua(Jesus). During Jesus's Baptism, the Elohim was seen together father said, spirit came and Jesus was baptized. We need not to do self discovery, Jesus said he came to find the lost , he found us when we were still sinners. I'm happy that I'm found by him.
As someone from India, it’s common knowledge for many people who practise yoga that Jesus came to India and learnt under englighteneded masters many aspects of yoga. He used kriya yoga techniques and did those miracles but for general public he taught Bhakti yoga ( which is the path of devotion). This is common knowledge for us, you guys believing it or not is not our problem bcoz we are focused on truth and not protecting religious identity.
As an European. I would say you are probably right. Also, many things came from India to the Western countries. Because the Indian civilization is very old, much older than the Western world. India already had writing and algebra, and buildings/temples. Long before Europe.
That's a very strange and surprising claim to make since all of our best sources about Jesus describe nothing like that. What sources are you relying on for that information? I'd be super interested to read it
There's also a medieval story that Jesus traveled to Cornwall and England with Joseph of Arimathea and ministered there before starting his ministry in Israel (seems unlikely).
There’s so many things wrong with the idea it’s mind-boggling, but one I find especially amusing is that Britain was outside of the Roman Empire at the time. It would have been ridiculously hard just to get there, never mind issues with logic, logistics, theology, and Jesus’ entire way of operating. The story I heard of Joseph of Arimathea going there later on is also insanely unlikely, but by the mid 40’s AD it would have at least been part of the Roman Empire instead of a completely foreign land.
I thought it was Glastonbury… either way, I’m on board with comedian Henning Wehn’s definition of the hymn Jerusalem (which is about this story) as being a collection of questions to which the answer is “No.” 😊
People from all over Europe traveled to Stonehenge, already 5000 years ago. So it's quite possible also people from Palestine went to England 3000 years later. From Palestine to nowadays Turkey, to Greece, to Rome. Or by boat across the Mediterranean Sea to Spain or France.
Wes, thank you. Your content is one of the first of the younger biblical scholars that I’ve felt doesn’t have some kind of ulterior motive behind their videos
Joseph of Arimathea was a Jewish merchant of foreign metals who traveled overseas. In Glastonbury England they have records of Jesus arriving in merchant ships with his uncle Joseph of Arimathea. You can read about it in a highly recommended book called (The Traditions of Glastonbury)
*You have put to rest one of the nagging questions in my mind about the Bible. I’m SO THANKFUL Billy Tyrone Karlson (a.k.a., “Billy Carson”) led me to your channel and to Apologetics Canada! Praise God!!* 🙏❤
There was no mistery of the lost years of Jesus life from 12 years old to 30 years old . The Bible clearly says where Jesus was during that period . Luke 2 verse 39 : When Joseph and Mary had done everything required by the Law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee to their own town of Nazareth. Jesus was in Nazareth . Verse 40 : And the child grew and became strong; he was filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was on him. Jesus did not go anywhere but stay in Nazareth . As He is the Son of God , grace of God was on Him and due to the grace He grew healthy and God gave Him wisdom and knowledge . Luke 4:16 : He went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom. He stood up to read. Jesus grew in Nazareth , not grew in other places , let along going abroad either to India or England or somewhere else . Mark 6 : 1- 3 : Jesus left there and went to his hometown, accompanied by his disciples. 2 When the Sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were amazed. “Where did this man get these things?” they asked. “What’s this wisdom that has been given him? What are these remarkable miracles he is performing? 3 Isn’t this the carpenter? Isn’t this Mary’s son and the brother of James, Joseph,[a] Judas and Simon? Aren’t his sisters here with us?” And they took offense at him. Jesus was well known to his neighbours and the people of Nazareth as a carpenter , just like his human father Joseph who was also a carpenter . If Jesus was away for years and not seen in his hometown , it would have been mentioned by the people in his hometown . From these verses it was clear that Jesus did not go anywhere but stay with Joseph and Mary in Nazareth , grew there , become a carpenter and well known by the people there before starting His mission of salvation ...
In Matthew 2:13-23, an angel appears to Joseph in a dream and tells him to flee to Egypt with Mary and Jesus. The family left immediately and remained in Egypt until Herod died, then returned to Israel.
Absolutely. Only the spirit of the Lord and wisdom will have you to believe this. Stop letting your thoughts wonder about where Jesus was. The devil will have you questioning your faith
JESUS CHRIST WAS TEACHING JAINISM. Jesus' teachings on forgiveness, giving up all possessions, celibacy, asceticism, humility, non-attachment to the world, seeking perfection, helping the poor, and at least one of his parables do not come from Judaism but from Jainism which was prevalent in ancient Palestine and northern Egypt in the form of the Greek Cynics and the Gymnosophists who also greatly influenced the Greek philosophers before Jesus. The evidence of Jain influence on Jesus Christ is found both in the New Testament and in the Gospel of Thomas. Early Christianity was an ascetic and vegetarian religion that followed the example of the Gymnosophists, as in Paul of Thebes, Anthony of Egypt, the Desert Fathers, and John Climacus. The Christian monastaries and convents of the Middle East and Europe codified many aspects of Jain monsticism but modified them. Jainism influence most religions and cultures in the world and today no part of the world has been untouched by the awesome influence of Jainism.

@@OmniGeorgeNever heard of it . Are ppl still jainists? Are there any differences in jainism and christianity? If so, what are they? If you have the time to even respond thanks
Sure, or he could have walked to Spain. You’re sort of missing the larger points here, which are 1. The whole story of him going to India was made up by one person with zero basis in reality, evidence, or history, 2. Jesus showed zero evidence of having learned from any Hindus or Buddhists, and his only reference to anything resembling either was to teach his disciples not to pray using chants like the heathens do, and 3. Jesus’ teaching refutes and opposes anything like a caste system, monasticism, reincarnation, the use of idols…I could go on…4. There’s no reason either Jesus or anyone in his family would go there. You can pretend anything you like, but you can’t present your imagination as evidence.
Yep. It's a secret (well used to be) that he travelled to India when he was 12 and studied with the gurus there. A clue to this can be seen in the typical portraits of him, he's usually dressed up more like a Hindu pandit rather than a Rabbi. 😊
You forgot to include this part in Luke: After three days they found him in the temple courts, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions. Everyone who heard him was amazed at his understanding and his answers. Twelve years old Jesus was special. Why didn’t the people of his hometown notice?
There are ancient Chinese writing about Jesus. It talks about an eclipse and It says the man from heaven has died. And the sims of the world are on him.
Buddhism did exist in Nepal before the 7th century, but some scholars may argue that the Tibetan forms of Buddhism (like Vajrayana Buddhism) became prominent in Nepal around the 7th century. Nicholas Notovitch claimed to have found the text in a Tibetan monastery. I think it's an honest mistake on Wes Huff side.
Thank you Wes for just being GENUINE!! I Found you when I was on Doreen Virtue’s channel and you were very very helpful with explaining things and for us to even do our own research and learn discernment! God’s blessings to you and your work, again thank you!!
Great video! I just subscribed to your channel and I'm loving it! What do you say to people who say that Hinduism is the oldest religion? My brother-in-law brought this up when we were debating over religion. He said therefore Christianity isn't true. I know that that's a lie but I didn't know exactly how to respond to this.
@@TheAmberHarvey Hinduism is ancient indo-European religion there gods like Dyuas pitar and wodan sound similar to the gods of ancient European religions like deus or Zeus and Odin However they were able to protect themself from Abrahamic cults
It would be difficult for Jesus to travel so many miles, but he can walk through walls and on water? The gospel narrative says that his followers and disciples had a hard time understanding his teachings. Could it be because they have never heard this type of teaching before not found in their religious traditions?
If he could walk through walls and on water, why would he need to travel to india to learn from monks? - That goes against the whole narrative of the Bible. It's ridiculous He didn't learn how to gain mystical powers from aligning his kundalini, from harnessing his Qi, from balancing his chakras, or from studying secret hidden Gnostic teachings. Right from the start his was a miracle birth.
There's no indication that He did anything like that early on though. For instance, in John 6:41-42, the Jewish leaders reject Christ because they knew Mary and Joseph. If they were that close with His parents, wouldn't they've surely known if He had performed miracles as a young boy or traveled a great distance? That ling of a trip was a months if not years-long endeavor in those days, not a plane trip like today. It's most likely that He was still in Nazareth, not sinning obviously, but not doing anything notable either. The only thing mentioned of His childhood is that He went to Jerusalem every year and stayed in the temple on Passover talking with and answering the questions of the Jewish leaders, as Luke mentions in Luke 2:41-52. Can't make a trip from India to Jerusalem every year. Not much is mentioned of His childhood because it's not relevant. Aside from the virgin birth and not sinning, Jesus was just being a normal early 1st century Jewish kid.
History nerd that is incorrect actually a trip from the part of the world that Jesus was in as a child he left that area at age 14 by boat it was very common to be able to travel to India on the spice roots of the sea and then of course there's the silk Road which is the way that Jesus travel back in a much longer journey from ages 14 through 29 Jesus was in India Northern India parts of Tibet parts of the Kush which is now Pakistan learning all sorts of spiritual traditions , techniques of achieving god consciousness.he studied vedanta. After his crucifixion he returned to India where he lived to an older age and Thomas followed him there Jesus was an enlightened being a son of God not the son of God
@GerardMcwilliams-k4l First, you might be able to be understood better, if you actually used punctuation. As for your argument, you really don't know what you're talking about. The Silk Road did exist but it was to China, not India. It was not 1 cohesive thing(which is why some still prefer to call it the Silk Routes rather than Road) and does not go through India or Pakistan. They were connected to it by several feeder roads but the main Silk Road is much further north, going through what now is Iraq, Northern Iran, Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, and countries like that. In other words, Central Asia. Secondly, nobody traveled the entire overland route, that would've been a long, long journey in those days when the fastest mode of travel was a guy on a horse. It was a series of exchanges and middlemen. It was not a road like how we think of the term today or some Am-Trak rail line but a trade route. It's 2000 miles to from Israel to Pakistan and 3500 to India. That'd be a long journey even today. As for the Maritime Silk Road, it was not an extension of the overland road. You're also contradicting yourself by claiming he took the maritime route and then studied in Pakistan which is nowhere close to the maritime road. You're right in the sense that people did often travel the whole maritime route, but the traders were the only people who did. Just like the overland route, it was not a travel enterprise but a trade one. Also, both routes, while safer than the other paths, were still incredibly dangerous due to bandits/pirates, bad weather, political instability, etc. Regular people simply would not make that trip, especially not the poor and middle classes(such that it existed) doing it for fun, much less for years in an unknown potentially harmful environment. Average people just simply couldn't afford that.
The Buddhist Equivalent to “Love Your Neighbor as Yourself” 1. Metta (Loving-Kindness) Metta is often translated as unconditional loving-kindness or benevolence. It is the sincere wish for all beings to be happy and free from suffering, without any expectation of reward. The Metta Sutta (Discourse on Loving-Kindness) states: “Just as a mother would protect her only child with her life, even so let one cultivate a boundless love towards all beings.” This teaching encourages practitioners to extend loving-kindness equally to themselves, their loved ones, strangers, and even their enemies. In essence: Love others as deeply and unconditionally as a mother loves her child. 2. Karuna (Compassion) Karuna refers to the ability to feel deep empathy and compassion for others’ suffering and to act to alleviate it. The Bodhisattva Ideal in Mahayana Buddhism is built on the principle of boundless compassion, where one delays their own enlightenment to help others achieve liberation. Key Quote: "May all beings be free from suffering and the causes of suffering." Just as one wishes to be free from suffering, one should wish the same for others. In essence: Feel and act upon compassion for others' suffering as if it were your own. 3. The Golden Rule in Buddhism While not phrased as a commandment, the essence of “Love your neighbor as yourself” aligns with the Buddhist principle of reciprocity: "Treat not others in ways that you yourself would find hurtful." - (The Buddha, Udana-Varga 5:18) This is often referred to as the Buddhist Golden Rule, emphasizing mutual respect, non-harming, and kindness. I guess its not completely impossible that a certain someone received inspiration from these

@ I did consider that, and it’s very possible that he might’ve been influenced by it, but Im personally not convinced he was a full jaine, similarly to the Buddha I think he learned several things, and then came to his own unique perspective
He didn't even want to turn the water into wine miracle because his time had not come yet Woman,[a] why do you involve me?” Jesus replied. “My hour has not yet come.”
Meh, it's not in contrast to the buddha. Milarepa said, "I've forgotten all difference between myself and others." That's how you ultimately love your neighbour's as yourself.
Hello, this is a real problem though, forgetting is a failure and the Bible is full of calls to remember, and it's also a denial of reality, the differences that Himself made, so it's not Gd's way of loving others though an extremely efficient way, I suppose.
When Did Buddhism Reach Nepal, and Was Jesus Alive at the Time? 1. When Did Buddhism Reach Nepal? Buddhism is believed to have reached Nepal around the 4th century BCE, during or shortly after the lifetime of the Buddha (circa 563-483 BCE). The Buddha's Life and Teachings: Siddhartha Gautama, the Buddha, was born in Lumbini, which is now in modern-day Nepal. After attaining enlightenment, he spread his teachings primarily across northern India. Initial Spread to Nepal: Buddhism spread to the Kathmandu Valley and surrounding regions through disciples of the Buddha and trade routes connecting northern India with the Himalayan region. Key Figures: Emperor Ashoka of the Mauryan Empire (304-232 BCE) played a significant role in spreading Buddhism. Ashoka visited Lumbini and erected a pillar to commemorate the Buddha's birthplace. So, by the 3rd century BCE, Buddhism was already well-established in Nepal. 2. Was Jesus Alive at That Time? Jesus' Lifetime: Historical consensus places the life of Jesus of Nazareth between approximately 4 BCE and 30/33 CE. Timeline Comparison: Buddhism had already been established in Nepal for several centuries before Jesus was born. Therefore: Buddhism predates Jesus by about 500 years. By the time of Jesus’ birth, Buddhism was already a significant spiritual and cultural force in Nepal and neighboring regions.

Neither of these comments prove or disprove anything. More than one thing can be true at a time. After Jesus' resurrection is most likely when he would have visited India. If that is true, he would be mentioned from that point and on, but not before that. And if Jesus' teachings share universal truths or agreed upon morals, that would also make sense if he is truly a good God. @@OmniGeorge
@ Jesus' teachings as I listed them, such as his teachings on forgiveness, giving up all possessions, celibacy, fasting for spiritual purity (as opposed to pleasing God), and nonviolence are absolutely NOT found in Judaism at the time and are not in the Old Testament. You are focusing only on theology, while Jesus Christ focused on how people should live their lives and he gave extensive instructions on how to do so which fake Christians ignore.
@ The Desert Christian ascetics, such as Anthony of Egypt, Paul of Thebes, John Climacus, and many others were very close to being Jain ascetics right down to their vegetarianism, fasting, and sometimes going completely without clothes, and as I said Jainism was right there near Nazareth in the form of the Greek Cynics and in northern Egypt in the form of the Gymnosophists who heavily influenced Pythagoras and other major Greek thinkers including the Cynics and Skeptics. I don't think Jesus went to India to learn Jainism. Jainism was just next door to where he lived.
Joseph of Arimathea was Mary's uncle and a wealthy merchant who travelled reportedly far and wide from the British Isles to the far east. So it is possible that he could have gone on various travels. There's also the theory that Jesus also lived among the Essenes as part of his education.

@@OmniGeorge So much wrong here, friend. Jesus was celibate but did not teach celibacy. Jesus led a simple lifestyle, but did not preach asceticism. Jesus only told one rich, young ruler to seek perfection by giving up his position and riches, but taught this to no one else. The Gospel of Thomas was written long after Thomas had died and the book is not considered by scholars to be a legitimate source on the historicity of Jesus.
Great job and much respect for addressing such a controversial topic. I've tried to have this discussion with many Christians and have been met with much discomfort and negativity. Having read all of the literature on the topic, I also agree this is most likely not what happened. Being a student of Sanskrit and many Hindu traditions of India and Nepal, I do have to add that the idea of devotionally based worship of a singular god, loosely described as Bhakti (devotion) traditions, is certainly very prevalent. The most prevalent one being that of the devotees of Krishna, or Rama, but in dozens of other traditions as well. Buddhists are kind of the atheist outsiders so it's not a great comparison with a spiritual tradition focused on the devotional worship of god in the form of a man, which there are many Hindu traditions that are very similar. These are dualistic traditions, man has a soul in the image of a singular god, god is transcendent to creation, and through worship, grace and blessings are gained through direct relationship. Comparing these traditions with that of the message of Christ would be more honest...but much more controversial...and I don't blame you for avoiding it. I don't want to go there either! In order to address this theory head on as honestly as possible, you must also mention not only the 1887 Notovitch text, but the much harder to brush off account of Swami Abhedananda's trip to that very monastery visited by Notovitch, in his trip documented in the book Swami Abhedananda's journey into Kashmir and Tibet (1922). As a disciple of the well known Ramakrishna, and in high standing himself, took the journey to find out the truth and discovered that the monks corroborated the account of Notovitch, and he translate the texts, which also were in line with the translations published in 1887. Now, I don't think Jesus did or didn't go there, it makes no difference to me...which makes it easy to stick to the literal texts, and analyze the facts however they may fall. I love ideas, philosophy, and god...all things outside of time, travel, and what may have happened. Of course there are other versions of stores, one saying he died somewhere else in South Asia, and even the story of him making it to Japan where they worship him, and have a grave site they say he was buried at. There's even a lineage of people that supposedly come from Jesus in Japan! What a wonderful world we live in! I think it's most likely he didn't take the monumental trip. But, are there philosophies that are very similar to his own teachings found in India? Yes of course, many Vedic monks in orange are going to teach you devotion, and many of the same principals, and methods for elevating ourselves beyond our broken and sinful nature. The variations on the theme are in the hundreds, as I'm sure you know. Could he have made the trip? With the trade route, sure. Could a single man traveling light travel further than a king and an army? Of course. Plus...it's Jesus! He walked on water, what needs to be said about sand. These are the details we must address head on, for our young generation has information at the tips of their fingers, and will not wait for us to look for themselves. If we don't address these aspects, it will look like avoidance, indicating dishonesty to an already suspecting youth. I'm quite impressed at your approach and honesty in talking about this. It's only Jesus's life, nothing bad is ever going to be shown no matter where he went or didn't go. God can go to hell and back and it wouldn't tarnish or make a difference in his teachings! May you be blessed in all of your endeavors.
If he walked on water/was already enlightened, why would he need to go to India and learn from Buddhists? I think the idea was that he did not walk on water at those early years and the trip to India equipped him with the said miraculous capabilities. I also don’t understand the motivation to trust and learn from polytheistic or nontheistic traditions only to apply them and make others believe they come from one God. Sounds like a fraud. The mental gymnastics you have to go through to make this speculation plausible is just not worth the time and effort.
I experienced a near death awakening in 2019. Afterwards, I researched different religions to see if any were close, and Hinduism / buddhism jumped out. At first, I didn't even research Christianity, because I was raised Catholic and didn't think it fit, but eventually I reread the new testament and was blown away. Everything Jesus was saying and teaching could be interpreted through the lens of oneness and non duality, even repentance. It brought me back to the fold. Of course, if you seek you shall find, so I know you can find any worldview in any text if you look hard enough. But it would not surprise me if Jesus adopted aspects of Eastern Philosophy, although, I think it's more likely that he experienced the same sort of enlightenment they did, and expressed it through the only culture he knew, Judaism.
Jesus was God incarnated as man - not a man learning various man made philosophies. Everything he taught was completing the mosaic law. Suggest checking out Dr Michael Heiser's work - eg book Supernatural or documentary Unseen Realm.
Hey Wes, enjoy your work, but why would Jesus not be able to travel far if he had divine resources? And how can you suggest the bible isnt already full of fantastic ideas like that of the infancy gospels? Thanks
Wes, can you please answer this question that has been asked? Perhaps I missed it if you answered and if so my apologies , but some have asked, if Jesus healed others and raised the dead, would he not also be able to do something as simple as travel to a foreign land so far away? I really appreciate your work. My son shared your channel with me. I look forward to your answer brother.
Hi, please accept my two cents before Wes responds. The argument for miraculous travel is sound since we have examples of this with Elijah and Philip doing it in scripture. HOWEVER, simply because something is possible doesn't mean that it occured. (-I could say Jesus miraculously travelled to the moon and spent his teenage years there-) We need evidence to support every claim but Notrovich's claims are demonstrably false because 1) no one else saw this "gospel of Isa" and 2) the temple that he claimed had the document said they did not and that they never had a Russian visitor.
It isn't about could he, it is about did he. Anything is possible but where is the evidence and why would a first century Jewish carpenter living in poverty travel to a foreign country to learn about Hindu? The burden of proof is on the ones who make the claim, not the other way around.
@@perfectpeace00maybe you christians never understood what Jesus was talking about in the first place. He supposed to be God, right? If you can believe God needed to sacrifice himself for your sins arbitrarily then it shouldn't be much of a stretch to accept that he traveled to foreign lands.
@@perfectpeace00 Context is important. For you must remember, during those times, people the world over travelled to India (then Bharata Varsha) to study at their renowned universities. It is possible that Jesus did travel there. However, it could also be a conversion strategy by the colonials to worm their way in under the guise of shared beliefs. There are a number of records that may prove either point true. Regardless, historical context is important.
@angelchetty7452 yes historical context is important and so is cultural context. Jesus was a poor Jewish carpenter from a Nazereth, a small town. He was not a rich secular intellectual looking for enlightenment. Your 2nd point is closer to the truth as there is no evidence or reasoning behind why Jesus would have traveled outside of Judea and its surrounding cities or that he would have had the means to do so.
I feel your understanding of Hinduism isn't complete as even Hinduism is actually a monotheistic religion as well, but has no set path to reach God and so Jesus could have easily combined his Jewish upbringing with Indian concept like Ahimsa and Karma to create the new religion of Christianity

I’m not being rude here but I have a couple of serious questions. 1. How do you explain for all of the Christian holidays being pagan holidays? 2. How about the multiple gods before Jesus who were born of a virgin and resurrected after their death? 3. how do you qualify a word that specifically says not to worship man or idols and yet between the cross and a man named Jesus being God? Lastly would it not be perfectly set up deception by the devil to worship a man, son all you like and just ask forgiveness. Serious questions.
I believe in Jesus and have similar questions. I believe Jesus would see us as missing the point of his teachings. Especially idolizing him in flesh and not the spirit of god... that we all have within. Shout out Edgar Cayce
Probably one of the biggest questions. Why a human sacrifice? (Jesus). When the Bible states human sacrifices are the biggest crime that one can commit.
As an Indian, I am telling you our saints who have attained enlightenment and achieved perfection reveal that jesus and our gods are one and that we should also love people unconditionally like jesus and for that reason I love jesus❤️❤️❤️
According to Hinduism everything is One, so your gods and a pile of dog poop would also be one. So stop pretending like you have some all-inclusive pan-religious view, you're really just spouting Hindu philosophy. Which you might believe is true if you want but your attempt to appear "inclusive" is misleading and dishonest. You are free to worship piles of dirt and monkey gods if you want but don't try to mislead Christians with your nonsense
@@Slims00 What? You have to be kidding me. Read a book. Ending suffering is literally the main goal of Buddha's teachings. Which in fact is a completely unrealistic prospect. Kind of like how Socialism would work great if mankind weren't corruptible. Even worse, it's to end your own suffering by escaping to Nirvana and leaving the cycle. Not to end the suffering of others. It's selfish naval gazing.
He made a good point at the end… Nobody was really interested in the concept of “childhood” at that time in history, which is a relatively recent notion. Children were hardly considered people, until they were adults. Here in the 2020s in North America we’re obsessed with “What was your childhood trauma? How did your personality develop?” That wasn’t of any interest until ~ late 1800s- early 1900s
Jesus had a virgin birth, walked on water, heal the sick, brought the dead back to life, multiply fish, walked through a wall and ascended to heaven but no super powers when it comes to traveling. Noted it!😢
If jesus is god why would he use his power to travel to India and learn from false gods or become a Buddhist monk. It wouldn't make any sense for him to do that even if he could.
So the real questions are: If Jesus was in fact a real human being and his birth, infancy, and adulthood, were important enough to write about and record in the Bible, Why were his teen and adolescent years NOT important enough to be included in the Bible as well? 🤔 Why was just a snippet of his "magical" powers as a teen questioned IN the Bible and not anything else he did as a growing child? Why has it been kept an "secret" and out of a most important book, is the main question?
This is pretty straightforward, actually. The Bible is written by his friends who met him as an adult after the start of his ministry. The only reason we know any early childhood information at all is because one of the writers who didn't actually know him, interviewed Mary and others to write his Gospel, Luke.
I will answer your question with these following bible verses; John 20:30-31 NKJV [30] And truly Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book; [31] but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name. John 21:25 NKJV [25] And there are also many other things that Jesus did, which if they were written one by one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that would be written. Amen. Notice that Jthe writer only speaks about the things Jesus had done. Imagine if all the missing years were also written down.
5:38 so, are we saying that the only son of god wouldn’t ALSO be the greatest traveler in the entirety of the ancient world? How quickly explanations frame him in the mundane. He, himself is very unlikely, yet we were blessed with his presence. I never really gave this idea too much thought but your explanation leaves more questions than answers.
@@DigitalDNA This is a very low quality comment. First of all, it’s insulting when it doesn’t need to be and secondly, you’ve dismissed the point I’m making without addressing what I’ve said and literally repeated what was said in the video as your only explanation for your comment, a point that caused me to make my comment in the first place. I’m guessing you’re very young and not really interested in Christianity anyway… which leads me to wonder why you’re watching this in the first place.
If he was son of God and could travel seamlessly …what purpose would a trip to India serve him? To learn what from whom that he already did not know? 😅
The idea of Jesus having a story in his youth is awesome. The idea that maybe Jesus visited places earlier and shared information is awesome, too. We can stay open to good ideas. We don't have to close them. Jesus is amazing. I don't think he would be upset at people thinking big. I'm sure he would want you to stay on the right path.. but stay curious!

This character Wes accepts only the writings of “man” as his version of the truth, which is acceptable to him. As the saying goes, “the victor writes history”, reflecting a form of controlled manipulation.
amen!!!!!

Who else is here after Wes tutored Billy Carson?🙋
Lol everyone
Over here too
Yup. I thought WLC was the only one with George Washington's English. I had to follow
Wes went from 23k to 78k subs in two days😅. We need more scholars like Wes
Wasn't it nice to shut down Billy and his anti Christian agenda. What happened did Billy make a deal with Satan to bash Christ and I'll give you a platform. Is that what his alien encounter was ?
Wes...saw your Joe Rogen interview!!!!! WOW is all I can say. You're storing up some treasure in paradise. The interview was so good that my son sat for 3 hours listening instead of gaming on Discord! I am witnessing a miracle. I do feel bad for Mark, tho. Hold strong, brother!!!!!!!
Keeping my family in prayers!!! Love to all my brothers and sisters ❤️
JESUS CHRIST WAS TEACHING JAINISM. Jesus' teachings on forgiveness, giving up all possessions, celibacy, asceticism, humility, non-attachment to the world, seeking perfection, helping the poor, and at least one of his parables do not come from Judaism but from Jainism which was prevalent in ancient Palestine and northern Egypt in the form of the Greek Cynics and the Gymnosophists who also greatly influenced the Greek philosophers before Jesus. The evidence of Jain influence on Jesus Christ is found both in the New Testament and in the Gospel of Thomas. Early Christianity was an ascetic and vegetarian religion that followed the example of the Gymnosophists, as in Paul of Thebes, Anthony of Egypt, the Desert Fathers, and John Climacus. The Christian monastaries and convents of the Middle East and Europe codified many aspects of Jain monsticism but modified them. Jainism influence most religions and cultures in the world and today no part of the world has been untouched by the awesome influence of Jainism.
@@OmniGeorge It hurts to see such content. Please pay close attention to the video and read the bible, you will be suprised: everything you stated is crazy false.
@@LiebeWahrheitFreiheithow would reading the Bible help verify the contents within the Bible? If I said Harry Potter really flew on a broomstick please pay attention to the sorcerers stone page 67. Would that provide any validity to my statement? Wes says the infancy narratives are unreliable because they are written after Jesus is dead and had cultish followings in its aftermath. What an ironic thing to say. 1 minute later he quotes Matthew and holds him to none of the scrutiny of the infancy narratives. Wes just automatically assumes he is reliable. He mentions none of the scholars who debate the authorship of Matthew or the fact his gospel was also written after Jesus was gone or the fact there were many more cultish denominations that arose in the wake of various changing texts even stemming from “reliable” gospels. The gentleman above used critical thinking to show where aspects of Christianity showed up previously before. He is way closer to the truth than you. Wes’ little side eye glances when referencing Jesus to anything from eastern culture says everything. Jesus didn’t go to India because you don’t want it in your narrative. Period. Dogmatic people are so predictable, open your eyes
@@LiebeWahrheitFreiheitmy reply was so good it got deleted. Why would someone use the Bible to fact check itself? What if I said Harry Potter really flew in a broomstick, see page 67 of the sorcerers stone. Does that give me any more validity? Wes is so inconsistent with the child narrative and the assumption that the gospel of Matthew has the same reliability it makes no sense. I’m not going to read Matthew to determine the truth about mattthew lol. The gentleman is above is making connections using critical thinking and could very well be on a path to truth, how do you or Wes know where Jesus was if it’s not stated clearly
@@AronD-fp5oq "Dogmatic people are so predictable, open your eyes" Well said, stay where you are, if you like to. Although I pray for you to find your peace with Jesus! I might be dogmatic, seems pretty human. But, maybe other people in this discussion are as well? There are contradictive records of Jesus, because some people had problems with the true Jesus and therefor fabricated their own Jesus. It helps todays sceptics to deny Jesus as well. There are good reasons, Metthew is believed and others are not, but I don't want to go in those details.
Billy, despite his efforts, has probably turned more people towards discovering Christ than a pastor. 😂 God has a great sense of humor, and I love it.
So why would God let people spread a false narrative of Yeshua and turn him into a Caucasian named Jesus? I don’t think that’s a sense of humor.
@TheColdest97 the same way he would let people turn him into a sub Sharan African that believes white people are the devil. We do have free will here.
It's one thing to be raised a Christian, but to start believing as an adult is embarrassing.
@TheColdest97 the same way folks would make Jesus Sub-Saharan African and claim white people are the devil. We have free will.
@@TheColdest97 "God let people" Brother people need to take accountability for their actions...
Billy was a blessing in disguise for Wes Huff. I think God was tired of misinformation and wanted to set things straight.
That’s always been the case, it people reject him so they lie about him
No, not a blessing for the Christians... Now they're even more stuck. The God of this world which is keeping the control going, didn't like people waking up to the truth. No problem, we are in the age of Aquarius now, and the powers that were will be falling and they can't stop it. Right along with Religion.
@@WideOpenWokepodcast Satan is the god of the world and of the Age of Aquarius, the world is in disarray, disease and death run rampant. Looks about right
@@WideOpenWokepodcastthe truth is people are spirtually dead in their sins and alienated from God, until they are forgiven of sins and recieve the Holy Spirit and become a new creation! New age beliefs are bondage, did that for a while and suffered badly from it.
@WideOpenWokepodcast
"The God of this world which is keeping the control going, didn't like people waking up to the truth"
What is even your theology? You think there is a God who is in control, yet you rebel against him why?
"Age of Aquarius" just astrology bs mixed with whatever new age spirituality you picked up from TikTok huh?
Isaiah 47:13-14
"All the counsel you have received has only worn you out! Let your astrologers come forward, those stargazers who make predictions month by month, let them save you from what is coming upon you. Surely they are like stubble; the fire will burn them up. They cannot even save themselves from the power of the flame."
Discovered Wes after the debate with Billy controversy and I am amazed by his Biblical knowledge. Keep up the great job.
@@MrJohnhunk be careful remember history is written by the winners just because Wes sounds or is educated doesn't make him right
@@foxxcharmer he states facts that makes sense based on documents that can be supported by evidence.
Me too
@@MrJohnhunk again just be careful we've seen this play before I'm not going conspiracy just saying be careful they still have history still being deciphered there's alot we don't know. I remember being told humanity only 6000 years old how that sound now?
@@foxxcharmerthat’s like saying the earth is flat because you haven’t been to space and NASA is fake😂
Praying for Billy to see the light and come to Christ. There is still hope for him. I was deeply immersed into the new age cult and got into "Christ Consciousness" and THAT experience is what lead me to Jesus because I went to Hell on a really bad DMT trip and it forced me to cry for Jesus to save me. I've never been the same ever since praise the Lord. I know if God can save me that he can save Billy too. He just needs to be humbled. This is only the beginning for him.
Amen. I will join you in hope and prayer for Billy.
Wow your testimony is amazing!! I'm also praying for Billy to come to believe in Jesus.
I have often suspected this is a big part of it when I see people who have gone from plant medicine or witchcraft to Jesus is they saw something so scary they had to run back to Christianity instead of face their fears
Why do you need to tell us you're praying for Billy?
lmao druggies
When I first saw Billy on YT, I had just started my Christian journey. With my faith being so new, hearing Billy talk about Christianity had me second guessing and really caused internal conflict in my beliefs.
Why I didn't try to research Billy's claims is beyond me and frankly lazy on my part. But I let his statements linger in my thoughts. And I remember praying to God asking him that if what Billy said was false to reveal it to me. Thank you God for answering my prayers and thank you Wes for fighting for Christianity.
Amen
Thank God you stayed on the path of truth!! Satan was fighting for your soul! I pray that more and more people will take the time to seek the truth instead of just believing , very convincing, false teachers. 🙌 Let’s get busy spreading the gospel, praying for the lost and making Heaven crowded!!! ❤
you still research your claims and beliefs even now
You wanna know whats crazy? He may have done this just for you. :)
Hello Wesley! Fellow Canadian here, just recently discovered your channel through Mike Winger. I'm grateful for your expertise
I want to thank Billy Carson for introducing me to Wes Huff.
Same here bro. I didn't know him until i saw his debate with billy and west ok tik tok. Then i search UA-cam and boom i see him all the time now
I too would like to thank him 😂😂😂
Same! Wes is the man!! No idea how I did not find his content before. It’s goooooood. Thanks Wes
Same! I have been a believer in Jesus for some time now (used to be a Muslim). Only because of the debate with Billy Carson, I got to know about Br. Wes Huff. Very honoured to know Br. Wes. 🙏🙌✝️
Jesus was in India during a portion of his lost years, god bless :)
Thanks Wesley, just recently found about of you through (who else,) Joe Rogan et al, and am enjoying your clear and informed explanations, with a solid foot in good theology! God bless you, brother!
I discovered your channel through What Do You Meme? I appreciate your debates with Billy Carson-it's quite entertaining to see how he tries to jump around your questions. It often seems like he’s looking for a way to evade the argument, which adds a light-hearted touch to the conversation. Keep up the great work! 😊 I pray to God you have more encounters audition in your channel. ✝️🙌
Same with me. God bless
Nope, didn’t happen
@michaelcontreras148 what didn't happen?
I love that he let Billy dismiss himself with absolute ease.
Crazy how god can use people with bad intentions and even spreading false information to ultimately lead us to truth. Without Billy I never would have found Wes, and this guy is awesome. Loving his work
Your channel is so under rated. You’re due to blow up!!! Blesssings
1 month later, and he goes from under 100k to 300k!!
My favorite part was when he used human limitations to say Jesus wouldn't have traveled that far, but then grants validity to his inhuman abilities
Was thinking the same thing lol
What inhuman abilities?
Like the ability to walk on water or into a desert and not eat for forty days and nights is a good start.
How about when he says that everything in his ministry points to a jew, with no indian or Chinese influence? Or when he quotes the Bible when His neighbors said they knew Him well and were disqualifying Him as just one of them?
He said "unlikely" not impossible.
I’m happy your channel is getting so much traction, because apologetics is what most Christians are missing to not only strengthen their faith, but to share it as well. Thank you Wes!
One of my favorite Christian Apologists. Thank you brother for this.
Jesus lived an average 1st century Jewish life, without sinning according to the Law . Because the problem had been that no mere mortal could live that righteously, Jesus came to do that, fulfilling the covenant. So the fact that he was a regular boy learning his father’s trade as a tektōn, and then doing the work and travel as an nomadic rabbi, fits the local custom and culture.
Facts. Jesus WAS God incarnate. He was teaching in the Temple at 12 years old. He knew false doctrine when he heard it. He did NOT go learn the false doctrine of India. Absurd!
Amen
Amen. I believe it was as simple as that. He lived a sinless life and proved He is worthy of God.
@@jaydublisIS.** But what makes it false other than it being different to your tradition. I doubt Christ would outright reject the Hindu culture. Except for perhaps the polytheistic component. Rather He would find appreciation for the positive aspects of it. The whole Unity With God Aspect is right in line with Jesus' teachings. After all that is what He was and is teaching and encouraging us to cultivate and foster. 🙏🙏🙏
So you were Jesus's neighbor during that time observing how he was i'm guessing?
Here from the Joe Rogan interview! Thank you Wes for knowledge!
Wes is taking UA-cam by storm lately , a rising star ! God bless him more
Hahahahahahah….you don’t think that’s planned…😂😂😂🖕🏻🤡
💯
Does he really want to be a rising star $$$$$?
@@J.X.Sanchez777 This is certainly bringing glory to the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. I'm sure Br. Wes appreciates that. Because more and more people are coming to faith in Jesus. I read a comment of a former Muslim who joined New Age. Because of the debate with Billy Carson, this person turned to Jesus Christ. 🙏🙌✝️
Mmm, no. No he's not.
As an Indian Christian ✝️
I can affirm that ability to cook false theories in regard to Jesus is beyond understanding by Hindus and similar religions… It’s not just misguiding matter but a mockery of Jesus in their mindset.. as an Indian Christian we do face this accusations and associations of Jesus being Hindu and what not nonsense every single day by Hindus.. They call us Indian Christian’s converts for money and rice bags and sell off.. The racism in India towards Christianity is all time high at the current year and age, especially with the political back up and power of organisations like BJP, VHP, RSS, Christians and faith if Christian’s are all time high risky.. they simple want Christian’s to be terminated and outcasted..
Meanwhile all the west Christian countries are welcoming Hindus and Indian natives to their country and allowing to open temples on large scale and let grow their Hindu religion easily without restrictions, In India on the other hand 300+ churches are destroyed every single year..
This doesn’t surface in any Indian media but you all can search and see the reporting done by some brave people in India to do not support this, just try searching ATROCITIES ON CHRISTIANS INDIA, the results will shock you
Keep praying Brother.
They want Jesus Christ, but don't want to become His followers.
Totally agree brother in yeshua. Bless you. Keep up the strength.
Know before ye speak. In Shreenagar there is a two thousand years old grave of saint Isa. Many old people of Shreenagar know the legend. Many great sages went to visit it. Jesus came for the world, not for Jews only. He is the Christ of the world.
@@abhishekconstantinewinches9907 We are definitely not talking about the same Jesus. The Jesus of Christianity (i.e the historical Jesus ) does not have a grave in Shreenagar. He was buried in the tomb of Joseph of Arimathea, from where He resurrected on the 3rd day, forever victorious over death.
You're indeed one of the best gifts God has given to Christianity in these last days . God bless and keep you my dear brother.❤❤

About 8:02, you say that Buddhism didn't reach Nepal until the 7th century, so Jesus couldn't have studied Buddhist philosophy there. This is untrue. Siddartha was born in what is now southern Nepal and Buddhism was introduced to Nepal during the Buddha's lifetime, which was several hundred years before Jesus's life. Also, to refute an earlier point made that Jesus would've been the ancient's world's most accomplished traveller... The people that spread out and crossed Asia and then the frozen land bridge to America made their crossing an estimated 23,000-30,000 years ago. People were moving around quite extensively much earlier than most people realize.
And also not to forget
People were regularly traveling father than that for education or trade or for adventure
India to Egypt
China to India
India to Greec and Rome to India
Europe to China
@@dv9239 There's also the story of the three wise men, who are said to have come... *from the East*. They were def not local wisemen. What if they went on in their travels to say Egypt or just studied from Jews in the area, and then 10 years later made a return trip... *with* a now 10 year old Yeshua in tow. He makes his return trip in his mid to late 20's and is back before 30.
@@RoarkeSuibhne ..Yes the three wise men came from Persia, and maybe even further, so from India or something like that.
Of course there is also the theory. That all humans came from Africa. True or not. But humans traveled thousands of miles probably. Already 50.000 - 100.000 years ago.
It's not that difficult. Just start walking one day, and keep on walking for months. Later with a small boat or canoe it became much easier to travel long distances.
St. Thomas the Apostle is buried in Chennai India 72 AD

I don’t know who you are beyond dismantling some other dude I’ve never heard of in a debate on a channel I’ve never heard of 🤣😂 … but now I look forward to listening to what you have say. See, you never know how what you do will work out. 👍🏻👍🏻
😉
I don't understand the dismantling hype he's getting. He seem stumped alot himself. If your open minded it was what should've happened and nothing more
Wes you made many good points, but there are a few errors. I want to point out 2 big ones. They don't change you argument but they don't support it either.
First: As you correctly state, it seems unlikely he would have traveled the many miles between Palestine, which was under Roman occupation, and India. However, there was a massive trade between India and the ancient Roman world going back centuries BCE. India was the source of luxury goods (at and around the time of Jesus), leading Pliny to complain about all Rome's gold going there. The comparison with Alexander the Great isn't a great one(lol) because he went to conquer rather than to trade.
Second, you state the spread of Buddhism to Nepal was centuries AFTER the life of Jesus. In fact, it was centuries before. Buddism is much older than Christianity and had spread across India and far across Asia by the first century BCE.
Given that Buddhism was a major religion (along with many others at that time) and the trade with India, it is not unlikely that Jesus and others in ancient Roman Palestine would come across teachers of Buddhist philosophy.
Great points! Happy someone said them. 💯🙏
Spices came from India, and further East. Probably already then and still today. Later Silk came al the way from China, probably by the same route.
And yes, Alexander traveled with 45.000 soldiers, something completely different.
You are a heavyweight in Christian theology and history. Please keep it up, you have a gift!
Blind faith truthers think this is a heavyweight in the game 😂😂 good one
The demon in you mad @@steelsmoke3172
I discovered your channel when I read a comment saying "Trust Me Bro University".😅Hope your channel blows up.... God is all time GOOD 🙏🙏🙏
Discovering Wes was exactly what i needed to call out the lies others are spreading
Good for u?
One biased historian isn’t enough evidence to prove your points
Meant with no disrespect, if we believe Jesus performed miracles and could even walk on water.. then what boundary could keep Jesus from traveling to India or anywhere? Didn't the silk road exist at that time? Truly trying to understand. Jesus is love and is good, always.
Yes silk road is a thing for sure. People traveled already in those times, for trade or business of course.
Even by boat easier and quicker to travel to India from Palestine or Egypt than over land.
Look up The Life of Saint Issa, The Jesus Cave, or The Autobiography of a Yogi. There’s plenty of evidence Jesus Christ made the journey at 12 years young to India to visit the 3 wise men from the East who were at His birth in Bethlehem. I don’t know why Christians find this so hard to comprehend. Even the word “Amen” comes from the Sanskrit “Aum.” Christianity is more similar to Hinduism than it is different. Unfortunately, Christians are too arrogant to even research into this topic. The evidence is there for those who want to know the Truth.
He could have, but he didn't. Why would he have done such a travel?
Let's stick to his own words in Matthew 15: “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.”
this man deserves 1 million suscribers.
Amen to this 🙏
Wont be long. God wants His people back.
I'll tell you what he was like.... Jesus the same yesterday ,today and forever .
Heathens think we slow . Thank you brother Wes
amen! well put
God is the same yesterday today and forever, then Jesus came along with a new way of looking at Judaism. Which is why the Old Testament is the Jewish tanakh and the New Testament takes after Hinduism. It’s pretty easy to see how the religions evolved from one another. Making the statement: same yesterday today and forever- pretty inaccurate.
Great work, did see these stories flying around. As someone who was born and raised in an Hindu family, I would say Jesus would only have rebuked such practices instead of following them.
Keep up the good work, God bless you!

@@divulgedspirit according to the Bible. Read it yourself.
@CHIPBUCKS yes. Like any witness account, you don't give details that don't add to the story. Jesus lived a pretty regular life as a child you could gather. Him in the temple when He was 12 is the only thing noted really from His childhood besides His birth and that story. Significant details weren't left out, what was left out was details about how He grew in stature and wisdom, which aren't relevant to why Jesus came in the first place.
Straight to the point, the right kind of approach to these kinds of half baked, baseless ideas. Well done.
CHRISTIAN APOLOGETICS ? I AM SORRY FOR ALL THE BS IN THE BIBLE SORRY ! A witch hunt.

The decimation of Mr.Carson is about to make this channel phenomenally more subscribers…I’m here for it!!!✨💜✨💜
The Holy Spirit of Yah is at work within Wes Huff, destroying the evil spirit at work within Billy Carson. As the truth wins over lies, the Lord is opening the eyes of the spiritually blind. The debate in which Wes dismantled Billy is an instant classic and an exponential teachable moment that will live and grow until the coming of Christ. Thank you, Wes. Glory to God Most High!
Maybe Yah-hoo. Wes has overt fails, people like him cause he acts like a nice guy.
The guy he "debunked", I could have debunked. Anyone researching this type of stuff, even as a hobbyist, knew guy's sources were bunk.
@anthonycarlisle6184 Well, I also could've shredded Billy. Light work yo. That wasn't my point. I didn't give credit to Wes because he was nice. Nice people can be wrong too. I did it because he spoke the truth according to Yah's Word and facts. When you shred Billy Carson like that maybe you'll get props too. Glory to God above all, though.
@@anthonycarlisle6184 ... Yes people make it to simple. For obvious reasons, because that is always convenient.
If Billy Carson is wrong (and he is at some points, he is going to fast for his own good i think) but that doesn't mean that Wes is right about everything.
Probably they are both, sometimes right, and in some cases wrong.
I had a World History professor at a University ask where Mary and Joseph took Jesus when Herod was trying to kill him, and when I answered Egypt, she said "Well that's one claim, but it's actually more likely that Mary and Joseph took him to India and raised him there." and then proceeded to try and show all of the ways Jesus was influenced by Hinduism. I was baffled where that came from, and that it was being taught as fact. Thanks for refuting this theory so succinctly.
Crazy….I’m glad you made it out of that false teaching. God bless!
"It's more likely" don't you just love it when people use words like that with no basis whatsoever. It's more likely that he traveled thousands of miles to India, rather than right next door to Egypt? Amazing how people can be so educated and yet so foolish at the same time.
It's such a stupid theory too if you're trying to demonstrate Jesus could have been influenced by eastern thought too, considering Alexandria egypt had a thriving Buddhist community in the first century due to King Ashoka's missionaries.
I don't think he did though. He basicly spent this entire video saying he doesn't know and it doesn't matter because the youth of other historical figures doesn't have as much detail. That doesn't tell us anything and is designed to keep the mind trapped in the narrative.
@ejppomeroy, She was most probably a member of one of the orange and/or maroon-cladded HariRama HariKhrisna groups who had paid homage to the Hindu Gurus of India. John Lenon of the famous Beatles band was responsible for making them popular. These Gurus were adept in spinning some tantalizing, mystical tales and were able to enrich themselves (receiving gifts of Rolls Royces even) with donations from their ardent followers. These Gurus have since lost their appeal as we don't hear much about them these days.
I am so glad and blessed to meet this Man of God. What an amazing time!!!
Funny parts, I am more obsessed with how many subscribers he's gaining. 🤣🤣
At this point... 321K. When I checked the day before, he was on 303K.
Over a day, 20K people learnt the truth about Jesus...! That... I love.
"And 5000 people were added to the church", Acts 4:4.
I met a man outside of grocery store once who told me his practice with Buddhism and Hinduism and told me from 8-30 that’s when he went to Asia and why the values of each other line up. Idk but I choose to believe him and believe that part was erased out of modern context.
Thank you for covering this topic. It's been an unanswered question ive had for awhile
This is another perspective on that question

Luke 4:16
He went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom. He stood up to read,
"where he had been brought up"
"As was his custom", a custom or tradition is something an individual is following for a long period. That means he was reading in synagogue since his brought up years.
He never came to India. If he did he would have preached polytheism too.
Yeshua's teachings have been hand picked to fit the narrative of control. I mean that in the sense that anything he learned and shared a little that didn't fit that narrative i.e. the nostic texts wasn't excepted and put in the cannon.
Hinduism isn't polytheistic. They believe that gods are only forms and appearances of the one, all-pervasive Brahma. The real distinction isn't about how many gods there are. It's duality (us and God separate) vs non-duality (all pervasive God that includes us). Elohim is a plural word btw, so you get polytheism in the creation myth in the bible too. Good luck on your journey of self-discovery.
I was brought up, and born, in a town, in the Netherlands. That doesn't mean i spent every day of my life in that town in the Netherlands.
That is modern time, with vacations and traveling, holidays, work. . Back then people also traveled, only it took more time to travel. But you could travel. And people did.
@petervermeer.4904 Luke 2:39. When they had done everything required by the Law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee to their own town of "Nazareth."( Not India)
40. And the child grew and became strong; he was filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was on him.
(He was already filled with wisdom not by visiting India or doing any Indian ritual. And this is happening in "Nazerath".
51. And he went down with them and came to "Nazareth"(Not India), and was obedient to them; and his mother kept all these things in her heart.
52. And Jesus increased in wisdom and in stature, and in favor with God and man.(He was increasing in wisdom and favor of God and man, didn't needed the travel to India for enlightenment)
Aftter his Baptism when he started his ministry:
Luke 4:16 He went to Nazareth(not India), where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom. He stood up to read,and the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him.(It was regular custom for him to stand up read in synagogue, nobody can just stand in synagogue and he was known as wise and worthy of reading a scroll. Even today you can't just enter a synagogue and start reading or preach. The custom was not of india but a Jewish custom.)
Matthew 2:19 After Herod died, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt 20 and said, “Get up, take the child and his mother and go to the land of Israel(Not Egypt,not India), for those who were trying to take the child’s life are dead.”
21 So he got up, took the child and his mother and went to the land of Israel(Not India)
23 and he went and lived in a town called "Nazareth."(Nazerath is called his own town since his birth time till he began his ministry. If there were any records of him travelling outside Israel they would have been written in atleast one gospel or say any New testament book. But you see there is not even a single verse about it, its always been "Nazerath."
Mark 1:9 At that time Jesus came from Nazareth(not India) in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.(He did not take a trip to yoga land for enlightenment but was in Nazerath before beginning his ministry)
If he went to India and learnt their teachings he would have mentioned Karma and reincarnation. His teachings contradict all those eastern traditions. Pretty clear verse as follows:
John 3:18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.(Salvation is only through Jesus not karma not, good deed but who believes in son)
John 3:36 Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on them.(There is no cycle of reincarnation but its directly an eternal life)
Luke 11:24 Empty heart and mind is a place for demonic possession.( The indian traditions, yoga/meditations, Buddhism all those teachings tell you to empty your heart and mind. But Jesus here says it brings more demons. Another classic contradiction).
Mark 12:29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:( Jesus talks about one God not many gods and goddesses but one true God.)
John 14:6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.( New age, eastern teachings preach there are many ways to attain salvation but here Jesus clearly contradicts them all and yes I am the only way.)
Every Travel that Jesus did had a purpose whether its Egypt, capernahum, Galilee, Nazerath, Jericho,etc. And they have been mentioned in all four gospels. I'm sure if he ever travelled to India atleast one of them would have written about it or say any historian like Josephus would have accounted it. Travelling to India would never help in fulfilling his purpose to take world's sins, die on cross and ressurect to give eternal life.
@@thomashoppes8594 I live in India and have seen and even part of their festivals like Diwali and holi, offcourse not the worshipping the idols. Why did their God needed so many different avatars and still couldn't fulfill a particular purpose. Jesus came down once and he fulfilled every single purpose of salvation till eternal life. The Gods that they have are just fallen angels and that is why they have "Sura" and "Asura". The practices that Hinduism include around me is worshipping a demon spirit which they call Maa refering mother. These spirits help them gain financial and other needs. So if their needs are not fulfilled they would even kill one of their family members which is the work of demon. On the contrary, Jesus's teachings where about grace, love and salvation. Elohim has been clear through out the bible, the spirit moved on the waters, the father was there in old testament and whenever God appeared to humans say Daniel's fire or Moses etc. it was always Yahshua(Jesus). During Jesus's Baptism, the Elohim was seen together father said, spirit came and Jesus was baptized. We need not to do self discovery, Jesus said he came to find the lost , he found us when we were still sinners. I'm happy that I'm found by him.
As someone from India, it’s common knowledge for many people who practise yoga that Jesus came to India and learnt under englighteneded masters many aspects of yoga. He used kriya yoga techniques and did those miracles but for general public he taught Bhakti yoga ( which is the path of devotion). This is common knowledge for us, you guys believing it or not is not our problem bcoz we are focused on truth and not protecting religious identity.
As an European. I would say you are probably right.
Also, many things came from India to the Western countries. Because the Indian civilization is very old, much older than the Western world. India already had writing and algebra, and buildings/temples. Long before Europe.
Yeah, I believe the words of Paramahansa Yogananda.
That's a very strange and surprising claim to make since all of our best sources about Jesus describe nothing like that. What sources are you relying on for that information? I'd be super interested to read it

There's also a medieval story that Jesus traveled to Cornwall and England with Joseph of Arimathea and ministered there before starting his ministry in Israel (seems unlikely).
There’s so many things wrong with the idea it’s mind-boggling, but one I find especially amusing is that Britain was outside of the Roman Empire at the time. It would have been ridiculously hard just to get there, never mind issues with logic, logistics, theology, and Jesus’ entire way of operating. The story I heard of Joseph of Arimathea going there later on is also insanely unlikely, but by the mid 40’s AD it would have at least been part of the Roman Empire instead of a completely foreign land.

There was no mistery of the lost years of Jesus life from 12 years old to 30 years old . The Bible clearly says where Jesus was during that period . Luke 2 verse 39 : When Joseph and Mary had done everything required by the Law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee to their own town of Nazareth. Jesus was in Nazareth . Verse 40 : And the child grew and became strong; he was filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was on him. Jesus did not go anywhere but stay in Nazareth . As He is the Son of God , grace of God was on Him and due to the grace He grew healthy and God gave Him wisdom and knowledge . Luke 4:16 : He went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom. He stood up to read. Jesus grew in Nazareth , not grew in other places , let along going abroad either to India or England or somewhere else . Mark 6 : 1- 3 : Jesus left there and went to his hometown, accompanied by his disciples. 2 When the Sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were amazed.
“Where did this man get these things?” they asked. “What’s this wisdom that has been given him? What are these remarkable miracles he is performing? 3 Isn’t this the carpenter? Isn’t this Mary’s son and the brother of James, Joseph,[a] Judas and Simon? Aren’t his sisters here with us?” And they took offense at him. Jesus was well known to his neighbours and the people of Nazareth as a carpenter , just like his human father Joseph who was also a carpenter . If Jesus was away for years and not seen in his hometown , it would have been mentioned by the people in his hometown . From these verses it was clear that Jesus did not go anywhere but stay with Joseph and Mary in Nazareth , grew there , become a carpenter and well known by the people there before starting His mission of salvation ...
In Matthew 2:13-23, an angel appears to Joseph in a dream and tells him to flee to Egypt with Mary and Jesus. The family left immediately and remained in Egypt until Herod died, then returned to Israel.

JESUS CHRIST WAS TEACHING JAINISM. Jesus' teachings on forgiveness, giving up all possessions, celibacy, asceticism, humility, non-attachment to the world, seeking perfection, helping the poor, and at least one of his parables do not come from Judaism but from Jainism which was prevalent in ancient Palestine and northern Egypt in the form of the Greek Cynics and the Gymnosophists who also greatly influenced the Greek philosophers before Jesus. The evidence of Jain influence on Jesus Christ is found both in the New Testament and in the Gospel of Thomas. Early Christianity was an ascetic and vegetarian religion that followed the example of the Gymnosophists, as in Paul of Thebes, Anthony of Egypt, the Desert Fathers, and John Climacus. The Christian monastaries and convents of the Middle East and Europe codified many aspects of Jain monsticism but modified them. Jainism influence most religions and cultures in the world and today no part of the world has been untouched by the awesome influence of Jainism.

Sure, or he could have walked to Spain. You’re sort of missing the larger points here, which are 1. The whole story of him going to India was made up by one person with zero basis in reality, evidence, or history, 2. Jesus showed zero evidence of having learned from any Hindus or Buddhists, and his only reference to anything resembling either was to teach his disciples not to pray using chants like the heathens do, and 3. Jesus’ teaching refutes and opposes anything like a caste system, monasticism, reincarnation, the use of idols…I could go on…4. There’s no reason either Jesus or anyone in his family would go there.

Yep. It's a secret (well used to be) that he travelled to India when he was 12 and studied with the gurus there. A clue to this can be seen in the typical portraits of him, he's usually dressed up more like a Hindu pandit rather than a Rabbi. 😊
You forgot to include this part in Luke: After three days they found him in the temple courts, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions. Everyone who heard him was amazed at his understanding and his answers. Twelve years old Jesus was special. Why didn’t the people of his hometown notice?

It would be difficult for Jesus to travel so many miles, but he can walk through walls and on water? The gospel narrative says that his followers and disciples had a hard time understanding his teachings. Could it be because they have never heard this type of teaching before not found in their religious traditions?
If he could walk through walls and on water, why would he need to travel to india to learn from monks? - That goes against the whole narrative of the Bible. It's ridiculous
He didn't learn how to gain mystical powers from aligning his kundalini, from harnessing his Qi, from balancing his chakras, or from studying secret hidden Gnostic teachings. Right from the start his was a miracle birth.
There's no indication that He did anything like that early on though. For instance, in John 6:41-42, the Jewish leaders reject Christ because they knew Mary and Joseph. If they were that close with His parents, wouldn't they've surely known if He had performed miracles as a young boy or traveled a great distance? That ling of a trip was a months if not years-long endeavor in those days, not a plane trip like today. It's most likely that He was still in Nazareth, not sinning obviously, but not doing anything notable either. The only thing mentioned of His childhood is that He went to Jerusalem every year and stayed in the temple on Passover talking with and answering the questions of the Jewish leaders, as Luke mentions in Luke 2:41-52. Can't make a trip from India to Jerusalem every year. Not much is mentioned of His childhood because it's not relevant. Aside from the virgin birth and not sinning, Jesus was just being a normal early 1st century Jewish kid.
History nerd that is incorrect actually a trip from the part of the world that Jesus was in as a child he left that area at age 14 by boat it was very common to be able to travel to India on the spice roots of the sea and then of course there's the silk Road which is the way that Jesus travel back in a much longer journey from ages 14 through 29 Jesus was in India Northern India parts of Tibet parts of the Kush which is now Pakistan learning all sorts of spiritual traditions , techniques of achieving god consciousness.he studied vedanta. After his crucifixion he returned to India where he lived to an older age and Thomas followed him there Jesus was an enlightened being a son of God not the son of God
@GerardMcwilliams-k4l First, you might be able to be understood better, if you actually used punctuation. As for your argument, you really don't know what you're talking about. The Silk Road did exist but it was to China, not India. It was not 1 cohesive thing(which is why some still prefer to call it the Silk Routes rather than Road) and does not go through India or Pakistan. They were connected to it by several feeder roads but the main Silk Road is much further north, going through what now is Iraq, Northern Iran, Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, and countries like that. In other words, Central Asia. Secondly, nobody traveled the entire overland route, that would've been a long, long journey in those days when the fastest mode of travel was a guy on a horse. It was a series of exchanges and middlemen. It was not a road like how we think of the term today or some Am-Trak rail line but a trade route. It's 2000 miles to from Israel to Pakistan and 3500 to India. That'd be a long journey even today.
As for the Maritime Silk Road, it was not an extension of the overland road. You're also contradicting yourself by claiming he took the maritime route and then studied in Pakistan which is nowhere close to the maritime road. You're right in the sense that people did often travel the whole maritime route, but the traders were the only people who did. Just like the overland route, it was not a travel enterprise but a trade one. Also, both routes, while safer than the other paths, were still incredibly dangerous due to bandits/pirates, bad weather, political instability, etc. Regular people simply would not make that trip, especially not the poor and middle classes(such that it existed) doing it for fun, much less for years in an unknown potentially harmful environment. Average people just simply couldn't afford that.

The Buddhist Equivalent to “Love Your Neighbor as Yourself”
1. Metta (Loving-Kindness)
Metta is often translated as unconditional loving-kindness or benevolence.
It is the sincere wish for all beings to be happy and free from suffering, without any expectation of reward.
The Metta Sutta (Discourse on Loving-Kindness) states:
“Just as a mother would protect her only child with her life, even so let one cultivate a boundless love towards all beings.”
This teaching encourages practitioners to extend loving-kindness equally to themselves, their loved ones, strangers, and even their enemies.
In essence: Love others as deeply and unconditionally as a mother loves her child.
2. Karuna (Compassion)
Karuna refers to the ability to feel deep empathy and compassion for others’ suffering and to act to alleviate it.
The Bodhisattva Ideal in Mahayana Buddhism is built on the principle of boundless compassion, where one delays their own enlightenment to help others achieve liberation.
Key Quote:
"May all beings be free from suffering and the causes of suffering."
Just as one wishes to be free from suffering, one should wish the same for others.
In essence: Feel and act upon compassion for others' suffering as if it were your own.
3. The Golden Rule in Buddhism
While not phrased as a commandment, the essence of “Love your neighbor as yourself” aligns with the Buddhist principle of reciprocity:
"Treat not others in ways that you yourself would find hurtful."
- (The Buddha, Udana-Varga 5:18)
This is often referred to as the Buddhist Golden Rule, emphasizing mutual respect, non-harming, and kindness.
I guess its not completely impossible that a certain someone received inspiration from these
The problem with that is all of those things are in the old testament. Loving your neighbor as yourself is not a new testament teaching.

Meh, it's not in contrast to the buddha. Milarepa said, "I've forgotten all difference between myself and others." That's how you ultimately love your neighbour's as yourself.
Hello, this is a real problem though, forgetting is a failure and the Bible is full of calls to remember, and it's also a denial of reality, the differences that Himself made, so it's not Gd's way of loving others though an extremely efficient way, I suppose.
When Did Buddhism Reach Nepal, and Was Jesus Alive at the Time?
1. When Did Buddhism Reach Nepal?
Buddhism is believed to have reached Nepal around the 4th century BCE, during or shortly after the lifetime of the Buddha (circa 563-483 BCE).
The Buddha's Life and Teachings: Siddhartha Gautama, the Buddha, was born in Lumbini, which is now in modern-day Nepal. After attaining enlightenment, he spread his teachings primarily across northern India.
Initial Spread to Nepal: Buddhism spread to the Kathmandu Valley and surrounding regions through disciples of the Buddha and trade routes connecting northern India with the Himalayan region.
Key Figures: Emperor Ashoka of the Mauryan Empire (304-232 BCE) played a significant role in spreading Buddhism. Ashoka visited Lumbini and erected a pillar to commemorate the Buddha's birthplace.
So, by the 3rd century BCE, Buddhism was already well-established in Nepal.
2. Was Jesus Alive at That Time?
Jesus' Lifetime: Historical consensus places the life of Jesus of Nazareth between approximately 4 BCE and 30/33 CE.
Timeline Comparison: Buddhism had already been established in Nepal for several centuries before Jesus was born.
Therefore:
Buddhism predates Jesus by about 500 years.
By the time of Jesus’ birth, Buddhism was already a significant spiritual and cultural force in Nepal and neighboring regions.

Neither of these comments prove or disprove anything. More than one thing can be true at a time. After Jesus' resurrection is most likely when he would have visited India. If that is true, he would be mentioned from that point and on, but not before that. And if Jesus' teachings share universal truths or agreed upon morals, that would also make sense if he is truly a good God. @@OmniGeorge
@spilledit they prove that wes will stretch the truth.
The man is nicodemus, and rebirth awaits you and him
@ Jesus' teachings as I listed them, such as his teachings on forgiveness, giving up all possessions, celibacy, fasting for spiritual purity (as opposed to pleasing God), and nonviolence are absolutely NOT found in Judaism at the time and are not in the Old Testament. You are focusing only on theology, while Jesus Christ focused on how people should live their lives and he gave extensive instructions on how to do so which fake Christians ignore.
@ The Desert Christian ascetics, such as Anthony of Egypt, Paul of Thebes, John Climacus, and many others were very close to being Jain ascetics right down to their vegetarianism, fasting, and sometimes going completely without clothes, and as I said Jainism was right there near Nazareth in the form of the Greek Cynics and in northern Egypt in the form of the Gymnosophists who heavily influenced Pythagoras and other major Greek thinkers including the Cynics and Skeptics. I don't think Jesus went to India to learn Jainism. Jainism was just next door to where he lived.
Joseph of Arimathea was Mary's uncle and a wealthy merchant who travelled reportedly far and wide from the British Isles to the far east. So it is possible that he could have gone on various travels. There's also the theory that Jesus also lived among the Essenes as part of his education.

@@OmniGeorge So much wrong here, friend. Jesus was celibate but did not teach celibacy. Jesus led a simple lifestyle, but did not preach asceticism. Jesus only told one rich, young ruler to seek perfection by giving up his position and riches, but taught this to no one else.

There is no historical source relating Joseph of Arimathea to Mary.
Great job and much respect for addressing such a controversial topic. I've tried to have this discussion with many Christians and have been met with much discomfort and negativity. Having read all of the literature on the topic, I also agree this is most likely not what happened. Being a student of Sanskrit and many Hindu traditions of India and Nepal, I do have to add that the idea of devotionally based worship of a singular god, loosely described as Bhakti (devotion) traditions, is certainly very prevalent. The most prevalent one being that of the devotees of Krishna, or Rama, but in dozens of other traditions as well. Buddhists are kind of the atheist outsiders so it's not a great comparison with a spiritual tradition focused on the devotional worship of god in the form of a man, which there are many Hindu traditions that are very similar. These are dualistic traditions, man has a soul in the image of a singular god, god is transcendent to creation, and through worship, grace and blessings are gained through direct relationship. Comparing these traditions with that of the message of Christ would be more honest...but much more controversial...and I don't blame you for avoiding it. I don't want to go there either!
In order to address this theory head on as honestly as possible, you must also mention not only the 1887 Notovitch text, but the much harder to brush off account of Swami Abhedananda's trip to that very monastery visited by Notovitch, in his trip documented in the book Swami Abhedananda's journey into Kashmir and Tibet (1922). As a disciple of the well known Ramakrishna, and in high standing himself, took the journey to find out the truth and discovered that the monks corroborated the account of Notovitch, and he translate the texts, which also were in line with the translations published in 1887. Now, I don't think Jesus did or didn't go there, it makes no difference to me...which makes it easy to stick to the literal texts, and analyze the facts however they may fall. I love ideas, philosophy, and god...all things outside of time, travel, and what may have happened. Of course there are other versions of stores, one saying he died somewhere else in South Asia, and even the story of him making it to Japan where they worship him, and have a grave site they say he was buried at. There's even a lineage of people that supposedly come from Jesus in Japan! What a wonderful world we live in!
I think it's most likely he didn't take the monumental trip. But, are there philosophies that are very similar to his own teachings found in India? Yes of course, many Vedic monks in orange are going to teach you devotion, and many of the same principals, and methods for elevating ourselves beyond our broken and sinful nature. The variations on the theme are in the hundreds, as I'm sure you know. Could he have made the trip? With the trade route, sure. Could a single man traveling light travel further than a king and an army? Of course. Plus...it's Jesus! He walked on water, what needs to be said about sand. These are the details we must address head on, for our young generation has information at the tips of their fingers, and will not wait for us to look for themselves. If we don't address these aspects, it will look like avoidance, indicating dishonesty to an already suspecting youth. I'm quite impressed at your approach and honesty in talking about this. It's only Jesus's life, nothing bad is ever going to be shown no matter where he went or didn't go. God can go to hell and back and it wouldn't tarnish or make a difference in his teachings! May you be blessed in all of your endeavors.
If he walked on water/was already enlightened, why would he need to go to India and learn from Buddhists? I think the idea was that he did not walk on water at those early years and the trip to India equipped him with the said miraculous capabilities.
I also don’t understand the motivation to trust and learn from polytheistic or nontheistic traditions only to apply them and make others believe they come from one God. Sounds like a fraud.
The mental gymnastics you have to go through to make this speculation plausible is just not worth the time and effort.
I experienced a near death awakening in 2019. Afterwards, I researched different religions to see if any were close, and Hinduism / buddhism jumped out. At first, I didn't even research Christianity, because I was raised Catholic and didn't think it fit, but eventually I reread the new testament and was blown away. Everything Jesus was saying and teaching could be interpreted through the lens of oneness and non duality, even repentance. It brought me back to the fold. Of course, if you seek you shall find, so I know you can find any worldview in any text if you look hard enough. But it would not surprise me if Jesus adopted aspects of Eastern Philosophy, although, I think it's more likely that he experienced the same sort of enlightenment they did, and expressed it through the only culture he knew, Judaism.
Jesus was God incarnated as man - not a man learning various man made philosophies. Everything he taught was completing the mosaic law. Suggest checking out Dr Michael Heiser's work - eg book Supernatural or documentary Unseen Realm.
Green Jesus went to Mars. He's waiting for Elon Musk.
Troll post but closer than you may imagine. Musk operates on the religious level.
Hey Wes, enjoy your work, but why would Jesus not be able to travel far if he had divine resources?
And how can you suggest the bible isnt already full of fantastic ideas like that of the infancy gospels?
Thanks
Wowwww! I'm so glad that I have subscribed to you . Thank you very much!
When is Wes and Aaron Abke going to do an episode together?
Yes I'm very interested too
Wes, can you please answer this question that has been asked? Perhaps I missed it if you answered and if so my apologies , but some have asked, if Jesus healed others and raised the dead, would he not also be able to do something as simple as travel to a foreign land so far away? I really appreciate your work. My son shared your channel with me. I look forward to your answer brother.
Hi, please accept my two cents before Wes responds.
The argument for miraculous travel is sound since we have examples of this with Elijah and Philip doing it in scripture.
HOWEVER, simply because something is possible doesn't mean that it occured.
(-I could say Jesus miraculously travelled to the moon and spent his teenage years there-)
We need evidence to support every claim but Notrovich's claims are demonstrably false because 1) no one else saw this "gospel of Isa" and 2) the temple that he claimed had the document said they did not and that they never had a Russian visitor.
It isn't about could he, it is about did he. Anything is possible but where is the evidence and why would a first century Jewish carpenter living in poverty travel to a foreign country to learn about Hindu? The burden of proof is on the ones who make the claim, not the other way around.
@@perfectpeace00maybe you christians never understood what Jesus was talking about in the first place. He supposed to be God, right? If you can believe God needed to sacrifice himself for your sins arbitrarily then it shouldn't be much of a stretch to accept that he traveled to foreign lands.
@@perfectpeace00 Context is important. For you must remember, during those times, people the world over travelled to India (then Bharata Varsha) to study at their renowned universities. It is possible that Jesus did travel there. However, it could also be a conversion strategy by the colonials to worm their way in under the guise of shared beliefs. There are a number of records that may prove either point true. Regardless, historical context is important.
@angelchetty7452 yes historical context is important and so is cultural context. Jesus was a poor Jewish carpenter from a Nazereth, a small town. He was not a rich secular intellectual looking for enlightenment. Your 2nd point is closer to the truth as there is no evidence or reasoning behind why Jesus would have traveled outside of Judea and its surrounding cities or that he would have had the means to do so.
super grateful for your work brother! thank you and salute. 🫡🙏
Wes, do you use a teleprompter on videos like this? You're so clear and articulate-as if this was a research paper!
I feel your understanding of Hinduism isn't complete as even Hinduism is actually a monotheistic religion as well, but has no set path to reach God and so Jesus could have easily combined his Jewish upbringing with Indian concept like Ahimsa and Karma to create the new religion of Christianity
Whats more “unlikely” - Jesus travelling 5000 miles, or Jesus turning water into wine?
Being cynical on my part, "if" Jesus claimed who he was to be, then turning water into wine is like walking on water :)
Exactly
what do you think is the halo over the saints heads ? ... its the 7th chacra ;) you re welcome
JESUS CHRIST WAS TEACHING JAINISM. Jesus' teachings on forgiveness, giving up all possessions, celibacy, asceticism, humility, non-attachment to the world, seeking perfection, helping the poor, and at least one of his parables do not come from Judaism but from Jainism which was prevalent in ancient Palestine and northern Egypt in the form of the Greek Cynics and the Gymnosophists who also greatly influenced the Greek philosophers before Jesus. The evidence of Jain influence on Jesus Christ is found both in the New Testament and in the Gospel of Thomas. Early Christianity was an ascetic and vegetarian religion that followed the example of the Gymnosophists, as in Paul of Thebes, Anthony of Egypt, the Desert Fathers, and John Climacus. The Christian monastaries and convents of the Middle East and Europe codified many aspects of Jain monsticism but modified them. Jainism influence most religions and cultures in the world and today no part of the world has been untouched by the awesome influence of Jainism.
@@cybertobify oh, I thought it was the thousand petalled capstone,,,hmmm God to check that again.
I’m not being rude here but I have a couple of serious questions. 1. How do you explain for all of the Christian holidays being pagan holidays? 2. How about the multiple gods before Jesus who were born of a virgin and resurrected after their death? 3. how do you qualify a word that specifically says not to worship man or idols and yet between the cross and a man named Jesus being God? Lastly would it not be perfectly set up deception by the devil to worship a man, son all you like and just ask forgiveness. Serious questions.
I believe in Jesus and have similar questions. I believe Jesus would see us as missing the point of his teachings. Especially idolizing him in flesh and not the spirit of god... that we all have within. Shout out Edgar Cayce
@ I’m not sure who that is “Edward Cayce” but just something that came to me over the years.
These are the questions usually dodged
1.its cause the ronans adopted Christianity and mixed their holidays with with Judaism
Probably one of the biggest questions. Why a human sacrifice? (Jesus).
When the Bible states human sacrifices are the biggest crime that one can commit.
Wes is a Blessing to us All Much gratitude 🙏 So thankful to You for Gathering US ALL & showing us the truth & the Way back to OUR Father 🙏 Thankyou
As an Indian, I am telling you our saints who have attained enlightenment and achieved perfection reveal that jesus and our gods are one and that we should also love people unconditionally like jesus and for that reason I love jesus❤️❤️❤️
Ohh Refused Bro 1000% Online Botty laughing at Jesus and His Subscribe s
perfection can never be achieved, it can only be pursued
According to Hinduism everything is One, so your gods and a pile of dog poop would also be one.
So stop pretending like you have some all-inclusive pan-religious view, you're really just spouting Hindu philosophy. Which you might believe is true if you want but your attempt to appear "inclusive" is misleading and dishonest. You are free to worship piles of dirt and monkey gods if you want but don't try to mislead Christians with your nonsense
All roads start from India... It's no surprise
They need to clean those roads. That place is filthy.
@@davidcann2405 similiar to so many roads in usa or europe...clearly the white man sees filth everywhere except his his own house and his mind...
Buddha taught to avoid suffering which is a form of pleasure seeking. Jesus taught to suffer for others.
based
When did Buddha say that?
@@sacha9646 Sometime between 563 and 483 B.C.
You are clueless, that's not what he taught
@@Slims00 What? You have to be kidding me. Read a book. Ending suffering is literally the main goal of Buddha's teachings. Which in fact is a completely unrealistic prospect. Kind of like how Socialism would work great if mankind weren't corruptible. Even worse, it's to end your own suffering by escaping to Nirvana and leaving the cycle. Not to end the suffering of others. It's selfish naval gazing.
He made a good point at the end… Nobody was really interested in the concept of “childhood” at that time in history, which is a relatively recent notion. Children were hardly considered people, until they were adults. Here in the 2020s in North America we’re obsessed with “What was your childhood trauma? How did your personality develop?” That wasn’t of any interest until ~ late 1800s- early 1900s
Jesus had a virgin birth, walked on water, heal the sick, brought the dead back to life, multiply fish, walked through a wall and ascended to heaven but no super powers when it comes to traveling. Noted it!😢
Quick question, so best explanation is super speed for Jesus reaching India?
If jesus is god why would he use his power to travel to India and learn from false gods or become a Buddhist monk. It wouldn't make any sense for him to do that even if he could.
Jesus could have jumped into space and re-entered like ICBM.
You forget when he walked on water he was located on a mountain while the Apostles were on the boat , he can do what he wants
no one wants to travel to India bro.
So the real questions are: If Jesus was in fact a real human being and his birth, infancy, and adulthood, were important enough to write about and record in the Bible, Why were his teen and adolescent years NOT important enough to be included in the Bible as well? 🤔 Why was just a snippet of his "magical" powers as a teen questioned IN the Bible and not anything else he did as a growing child? Why has it been kept an "secret" and out of a most important book, is the main question?
This is pretty straightforward, actually. The Bible is written by his friends who met him as an adult after the start of his ministry. The only reason we know any early childhood information at all is because one of the writers who didn't actually know him, interviewed Mary and others to write his Gospel, Luke.
I will answer your question with these following bible verses;
John 20:30-31 NKJV
[30] And truly Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book; [31] but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name.
John 21:25 NKJV
[25] And there are also many other things that Jesus did, which if they were written one by one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that would be written. Amen.
Notice that Jthe writer only speaks about the things Jesus had done. Imagine if all the missing years were also written down.
5:38 so, are we saying that the only son of god wouldn’t ALSO be the greatest traveler in the entirety of the ancient world? How quickly explanations frame him in the mundane. He, himself is very unlikely, yet we were blessed with his presence. I never really gave this idea too much thought but your explanation leaves more questions than answers.
Do you know what it took to travel in the ancient world? Think about what you're asking before you ask something so stupid.
@@DigitalDNA This is a very low quality comment. First of all, it’s insulting when it doesn’t need to be and secondly, you’ve dismissed the point I’m making without addressing what I’ve said and literally repeated what was said in the video as your only explanation for your comment, a point that caused me to make my comment in the first place. I’m guessing you’re very young and not really interested in Christianity anyway… which leads me to wonder why you’re watching this in the first place.
@@actontreadway1168 you haven't answered my question.
If he was son of God and could travel seamlessly …what purpose would a trip to India serve him? To learn what from whom that he already did not know? 😅
@@MsAchiless is the antithesis of not learning from others in other regions the equivalent of staying in only one region?
The idea of Jesus having a story in his youth is awesome. The idea that maybe Jesus visited places earlier and shared information is awesome, too. We can stay open to good ideas. We don't have to close them. Jesus is amazing.
I don't think he would be upset at people thinking big. I'm sure he would want you to stay on the right path.. but stay curious!
