No, I didn't say Paul's teachings, but Jesus' teachings. Things like "love your neighbor as yourself" and "what comes out of one's mouth is more important than what goes into it."
Fair enough. But there is no contradiction between Paul's and Jesus' teachings, since the main thrust of Christ's teachings was about himself.
My comment was for you, too. And just for the record, since the Vedas pre-dated Jesus, the Greeks, etc by thousands of years, any similarities were not due to cultural contact coming to India.
I had read exactly the same thing in Holger Kirsten's "Jesus Lived in India".

Ping!
oooh!
I've just got a great idea for a new novel.
I think you have it wrong here. The general consensus is that the missing years were spent in travels with his family by sea, most especially to visit the family tin mines in Cornwall (cf. Blake), nearby where James established the first synagogue in Britain in Glastonbury.
Regardless of the missing years, the story with Kashmir has to do with Jesus's life after the "resurrection.' If you assume that Jesus was a man like all of us then, after he reappeared he had to go somewhere. He went to spent time among the Parthians (which really means "separate tribes" or something like that) who were in Iran, and ended up spreading the word (of the insurrection against the Romans, ending in Kashmir where he was known as "Abba". At his deathbed, he revealed that he was truly Jesus Christ. Mary Magdalene, as we all know, went to Nice, France, with the three children, including Jesus Justus, and others.
I hope this makes it perfectly clear : )

Awesome search capabilities, my friend. Thanks.
Just another would-be tourist attraction.
LOL!
Must be a different Jesus from the one I remember...
Here it is http://www.tombofjesus.com including a flash introduction...
Thanks for the links.
:')
How could Jesus have traveled to Kashmir given the transportation limitations of the 1st century AD? He would have had to go through the quite hostile Parthian Empire and then face the same jungles that turned back the armies of Alexander the Great. And how could he have died there if he was crucified in Judea?

Two, I think.
Given that missionaries are reporting tremendous success in evangelizing to the lower tiers of India's caste system, I suspect that the Indian government has a lot at stake here. If they can discredit Jesus and Moses all at once, they can keep a nice, tidy underclass ready to do all the jobs that Indians won't do.
Ten of the tribes were exiled by the Assyrians, and stuck into various frontier areas of the Assyrian Empire (such as it was, it was very large in extent, but highly fluctuating).
Specific examples, please?
Well, we agree on that. Unless he took a shortcut walking across the ocean. :-)
Cheers!
