Jesus was a Buddhist Monk

Or Allah for that matter?

Interesting watch. Definitely recommend.

Fun facts from this:
    Book of Mark's "resurrection" story ended with the death of Jesus, and his burial. No resurrection, the addition of the resurrection story, and ascension, was added two hundred years later after the original authorship.

    Jesus was eventually re-buried in France, Rennes Le Chateau France by the Knights Templar.

    Jesus may have been drugged by a vinegar-like substance, and much like in Romeo and Juliet, faked his death upon the cross.

    There are other accounts, via Josephus, of individuals surviving crucifixion.

    Joseph took healing herbs (aloe) not embalming herbs into the tomb.

    Following his awakening from a drug/shock induced coma, Gospel of John writes "And there are so many other things which Jesus did".

    "The Second Coming" wasn't about Armageddon, it was about his return from the east.

    Jesus was taken by the Three Wise Men, and raised as a reincarnated Budhist monk. This also explain the lack of record during the time in the bible. He then returned to the east after his resuscitation.

There are many very good reasons to doubt Jesus was a real person. All this other collection of "facts" is as believable as the New Testament itself...

I'll say, I rather like this explanation though.

It even explain the use of dragons in the bible... if Jesus and Christianity is Budhist, oriental derived.

Seriously? Are you sure the word in Greek or Hebrew that got "translated" as "dragon" pointed to the same idea as what we use that word for?

According to Strong's, the word sometimes translated as 'dragon' is the Hebrew תַּנִּין tanniyn

1) dragon, serpent, sea monster
a) dragon or dinosaur
b) sea or river monster
c) serpent, venomous snake

These are the verses where the word "Dragon" appears in the - in the New Testament dragons are only mentioned in Revelation, and John had clearly been eating those magic mushrooms (avoid the red ones with white spots)

Deuteronomy 32:33
Nehemiah 2:13
Job 30:29
Psalms 44:19
Psalms 74:13
Psalms 91:13
Psalms 148:7
Isiah 13:22
Isiah 27:1
Isiah 34:13
Isiah 35:7
Isiah 43:20
Isiah 51:20
Jeremiah 9:11
Jeremiah 10:22
Jeremiah 14:6
Jeremiah 49:33
Jeremiah 51:34,37
Ezekiel 29:3
Micah 1:8
Malachi 1:3

But there are several places where it is translated as 'Whale' or 'Serpent'

In other words it's just a non-specific word that means monster. Not neccessarily the four legged, winged, fire breathing Dragon of the St George type.
