MYSTERIOUS PERIOD IN THE LIFE OF JESUS
*
Nothing is known about most part of Jesus'
life. At age of twelve he was missed by his parents during the Passover
festival in Jerusalem. They later found him in the temple talking or discussing
things with the teachers there. After this age he comes again at the age of 30
to start and continue his religious work or ministry.
Umpteen number of theories about this missed
time of his life and also for life "after crucifixion". They are so
many and also so much unbelievable. Some of them are as follows:
In the late medieval period, there
appeared Arthurian legends that the young Jesus had been in Britain. Arthurian legends
hold that Jesus travelled to Britain as a boy, lived at Priddy in the Mendips.
In the 19th and 20th
centuries theories began to emerge that between the ages of 12 and 29 Jesus had
visited Kashmir, or
had studied with the Essenes in
the Judea desert. Modern
mainstream Christian scholarship has generally rejected these theories and
holds that nothing is known about this time period in the life of Jesus.[
Jesus survived his
crucifixion and continued his life, instead of what was stated in the New
Testament that he ascended into Heaven with two angels
Jacolliot compared the
accounts of the life of Bhagavan Krishna with
that of Jesus Christ in the gospels and concluded that it could not have been a
coincidence that the two stories have so many similarities in many of the finer
details.
According to the scrolls, Jesus abandoned Jerusalem at the
age of 13 and set out towards Sind, “intending to improve and perfect himself in the
divine understanding and to studying the laws of the great Buddha”. He
crossed Punjab and
reached Puri Jagannath where he
studied the Vedas under Brahmin priests. He spent six years in Puri and
Rajgirh, near Nalanda, the ancient seat of Hindu learning. Then he went to the Himalayas, and spent
time in Tibetan monasteries, studying Buddhism, and
through Persia, returned to Jerusalem at the age of 29.
Modern mainstream Christian
scholarship has generally rejected any travels by Jesus to India, Tibet or
surrounding areas as without historical basis:
Evidences of Christ in the
Americas are claimed in the Book of Mormon
