Every country that has a Jesus says he was there.
Further; Jesus' friends did not perform the rituals of Jesus that are performed for the dead.
No bath was given to Jesus;
No death prayers were held.
They knew that Jesus was alive; so they did not do to Jesus what they would have done to a dead Jesus.
I caught a whiff about him being in america but as some have told me here already, i say it now: i havent seen any convincing evidence. ....
How do you know they didn't?
Maybe His Disciples were scared to do any of these. maybe the Disciples thought if they approach and show that they are His believers, they could also get killed or put in prison?It was an important event; if this would have been done; it would have been mentioned.

Many people also died shortly after being put on the cross. Just because one could hand on the cross for days, doesn't mean everyone did. And if one had a particularly bad scourging before hand (and we can be sure Jesus did), it is lucky he was even alive to be put on the cross, and it makes sense he didn't survive long at all. And really, it wasn't like he was the only one to ever die after just 6 hours.
And we have no historical account about Pilate and the crucifixion. We have the Biblical story which probably isn't very accurate in this regards. But if we do take it to be literal, Jesus also has a spear thrust into his side. So if he wasn't dead before, he was surely dead now.
And we don't know how he looked, his physical composition, or any of that. To state such is just making things up.
The Urantia Book details Jesus complete life. Jesus joined a travelling merchant from India as a guide, interpreter, and teacher for the Indian merchant's son. Jesus and the merchant's son talked quite a bit. The young son learned a great deal from Jesus and took those teachings back to India where he was able to have some influence on those of the time but the teachings faded away after he was gone.
If you go to google and google jesus in india, you will find alot of writings from the indian people and the fact that they understand that the man known as your christ was in their company. Probably thats were he retired to.after the alleged ressurection..
Everything from TJ can be dismissed by the very fact that it has no historical reliability at all. One might as well be using the Da Vinci Code as actual history.of course its very true that not everyone survived a crucifixtion; not all people are in the same physical condition - some are weaker and less able than others. Jmmanuel on the other hand WAS strong, healthy, WELL travelled and his own spiritual status gave him the ability to withstand the ordeal. You say he didnt have what it took to survive; he learned an incredible amount of spiritual knowledge in india as well as having learnt even further and powerful knowledge about the power of the spirit when he was further trained by the celestial sons. mastering such skills as knowledge can empower one to do anything and in the TJ, he teaches and proves it time and time again; people simply doubt themselves too much and this is why many do not succeed.
i also dont particularly trust the bible too much, though parts of it are true, according to similarities in the TJ. When he was stabbed by the spear and water/blood came out, yes this signifies either death or near-death. although the soldier said he was dead, everyone else was puzzled because he wasnt on the cross for so long and again his legs were not broken, thus allowing him to remain in a controlled near-death state.
The power of his spirit through understanding its unlimited abilities allowed him to survive the ordeal...and if one reads the TJ and books about his learning in india, one can see his ability to do so.
An excert from the TJ, (remember that Judas Ischariot; Jmmanuel's trusted friend, wrote this), which supports his training in india and with the celestial sons after he was baptised:
TJ:29:22:
QUOTE, "...I have added to my knowledge in this incarnation by gaining great cognition and learning true wisdom, which was impoarted to me by his teachers over a period of 40 days and 40 nights. Furthermore, I have travelled extensively to faraway palces and lived for many years in the land of India. There I was taught much knowledge and many secrets by the great wise and knowledgeable men who are known as masters. When I have fulfilled my mission here, I will return there with Thomas, my brother, who is a faithful disciple of mine." UNQUOTE
Jesus was a common name back at that time....perhaps the Jesus he spent time with was not the same Jesus who became the Christ.
There's actually not much writing that is of any relevance as it simply is written too far removed. Not to mention much of it can't actually be found (as in the supposed manuscripts can't be found for whatever reason, and thus can't be confirmed).
If one Google's Jesus in Britain, one can also find dozens of various links as well that claim he was actually there. Just because one can Google it doesn't mean it is true.

When your source disagrees with all of our best sources, there is no reason to assume that your source, written extremely late (relatively recently) has any better information when none of it is based on original or reliable manuscripts. So simply, I'm just going to dismiss everything that the TJ states.
Second, you haven't shown that he was in India. You're simply making things up now. Until you can show reliable evidence that he was in India, your claims simply do not need to be taken seriously. Since there is no evidence he was in India (at least credible), and since none of his teachings or the like relied on him traveling to India, but instead resemble what we would expect from a Palestinian Jew, the mere thought that he went to India is wishful thinking.
Finally, as stated many times, it was not unique for someone to die after only a few hours on the cross. What you are not taking into consideration is the fact that he was also savagely beaten before hand, a beating that in fact could and did kill people. Taking that into consideration, it is no wonder that Jesus only lived a few hours on the cross.
The fact that it was so uncommon, and nearly impossible to revive someone after such a horrible experience shows that there is no reason to believe that he survived.
Maybe His Disciples were scared to do any of these. maybe the Disciples thought if they approach and show that they are His believers, they could also get killed or put in prison?
