I'm a Hindu that believes in Jesus

Good for it. You may want to ask them what they found out, since it is such an importante matter for you.

I already know and I accept their findings, obviously. The "apocryphal" writings are just that, of doubtful authenticity, although widely circulated as being true.

Just for clarification, did you mean that Jesus travelling to India is the knowledge, or the belief that he did by a few people is the knowledge?

The latter. The Ahmediyyas hold the belief that Jesus had travelled to India after crucifixion and died there.

You have never bothered to look, obviously. See post #195. You do realize that it is the year 2017, right? 2017 years after what? Yes, the death of Christ. Certainly not the death of Buddha.

Actually, the Gregorian calendar dates back to Jesus' birth, not his death. Although actually it seems he was born in around 2 BCE by current reckoning, so the calendar has slipped a little. Also, there are other calendars which have their year zero as the year in which the Buddha attained enlightenment.

You seem to have no particular urge to actually back up anything you're saying. You just make statements, tell people go find the proof of it for themselves rather than providing it yourself and irritably dismiss all criticism as lies or ignorance. I don't think this is any kind of dialogue.

So stop dialoguing with me. I argue from a position of strength. If this bothers you, bug out.

Jesus obviously existed.

Deflecting again, I see. The "apocryphal gospels" have been thrown out as fakes.

Not fakes and not thrown out. In some Protestants they are grouped together as 'of secondary importance.' In others they are referred to as deuterocanonical, not part of the Hebrew Bible.

They are trash. Whoever thinks otherwise has been deceived.

I think a non Christian can have a strongly felt view or appreciation of Jesus, but are you seeing eye to eye with Jesus and the apostles? You can believe your view but do you believe His view?

The early church struggled with what exactly was the "nature" of Jesus. So, to question the Trinity is not anything new, nor does it take away from Jesus' main message of compassion and justice (fairness) towards all.

They are incompatible . . . or so the Christians say so
Hinduism - “Satanic to its core”

They are not compatible because of the first commandment. We believe in only one God, the Creator, the Father of the Lord Jesus Christ, His only Son.

We believe and it is written in the Bible that worship or acknowledgement of any "other god" is strictly prohibited because there is only one God. And He is a jealous God, as He has said.

I believe it means abstain from drinking blood, particularly the life blood of the animal. I wouldn't make any idols even if Catholics do or anyone else.

Genesis 9:4 "But you must not eat meat that has its lifeblood still in it.

Most meat they let enough blood drain out that it wouldn't be considered having the lifeblood still in it. imo

Most all Catholics do not worship anything but God and His Son. The implements we use in our worship services and dedications are not idols and we do not worship them. They are used to aid us in worship only.

If any Catholic person does worship anything besides the Almighty God and His Son he is wrong strong.

That's completely illogical. If there is only one God, how can you acknowledge something that does not exist, and what should he be jealous of?

Your questions make no sense to the Bible believer if you believe in any other God but the One spoken of in the Bible. Refer to:

BibleGateway - : one God

They make an enormous amount of sense. None of those verses from the Old Testament prove there is only one God. The verse from Timothy is Paul's words, not God's, nor Jesus's if you believe Jesus is God. In my opinion, Paul made it all up as he went along.

You're obviously not a Bible believer. So what I said makes perfect sense since I do believe every word in the 66 books came from God through the Holy Spirit. As far as I'm concerned you are 100% wrong and the Bible is 100% right.
