18 Missing Years of Jesus Christ? Where he have been?

I already read that in more article that Jesus Christ travel to India those years.. It makes me interesting I'm sure he had great words those years.

I agree with Pose from whatever I’ve read on this myself. The caravans of the silk route passed thru Jerusalem and alongwith the caravans, there were mystics and monks who travelled to distant lands to interchange global views on religion and spirituality. Maybe Jesus travelled with them to the oriental lands (I really can fathom as to why) in search of more spiritual knowledge and stayed there for quite sometime, learning more about oriental meditation, religion and spirituality. One interesting fact is that thru advance yoga and meditation, it is actually possible to leave the body for a certain period of time and again return back… there are proponents of the theory that Jesus did not actually die on the cross…these people say that while on the cross, Jesus used this oriental knowledge and practiced similar meditation and his resurrection was nothing but returning back to the very wounded body, which was then nursed back to health in a cave by his very few close associates! Of course all this is debunked by the Church and Christians as hearsay (and they maybe correct)! You will not find any mention of this or of the missing years anywhere in Christian religion simply coz I hope you understand that these facts (or whatever they are) question the very foundation of Christianity and acknowledges its indebtedness to oriental spirituality, none of which are acceptable to the Church.

Hi sudiptacallingu, That is all very interesting. I have heard about leaving the body but not that particular theory about Jesus. The church doesn't like to be questioned about such things because it has no answers. Many Christians probably don't know that there were several different sects in the early church or that the gospels weren't written by the apostles. They refuse to accept the fact that many early Christians believed in reincarnation, including some well known and respected church fathers. It wasn't until the sixth century that the church threw out the belief altogether and probably then because it wouldn't give them the same control as other teachings. Blessings.
