Did you know that Jesus went to India for sometime? Is that defamation? I doubt many 'Christians" know that and would scream heresy if told it. That's the problem. Somebody with some claim to authority says something -- no matter how illogical or unfounded -- and somebody accepts it at face value.
Jesus never went to India. If you believe that he did you have to reject a good bit of the Bible (which is the source of what we know about Him) then assume he was an explorer akin to Marco Polo.
After considering the matter, you can believe just one of two things about Him -- that He is God or a madman. I'm certain beyond any doubt that He is the former.
Well there is a large gap of his life in the Bible. I don't see any parts of the Bible that must be rejected based upon the timeline. Much of the Bible is supported by Roman records - Bible scholars include those as "proof". Google St. Issa and do some reading and tell me what you think. There are several explorers and scholars that documented the story in Asia Minor. To me it is way more believable than the "Code". There were well established trade routes to India during the time. Many of which still exist today. I only believe what I can see and touch - and sometimes I doubt that.
FWIW I was never taught he was God only the son of God. Part of the Deity - yes he may be a god but not God.
