I had read that the wise men were from India, and that Jesus went to India to study. I just finished The Yoga of Jesus, and the Eastern view of Christ is very compelling.
Was that the little green man in Star Wars? The one with wrinkled skin and pointy ears...Who has written The Yoga of Jesus?
Take into account that He is said to have performed miracles, which many of us would consider to be a form of magick.
Jesus was a myth, but the closest faith the story of his mythical personage could be ascribed to was the cult who believed in the literal ressurection of the body.
Jesus was muslim. Muslim meaning submitted to God, i.e. God chose him as a prophet calling people to believe in the Oneness of God and to adore him ( he was sent to sons of Israel) . Later when he died, some jew inflitrated among the believers and twisted their religions, and then the twisting of the Bible started happening.
Thats why the prophet Mhammad sallalahu 'alayhi wassalam told us that if we read the Bible we shouldnt say that this part is wrong because it could be true, or take some parts as true because it could be false. (Of course, trinity and making Jesus peace be upon him a God is not something we are to believe at all )
So few buy the Heresy theory.
Actually, EO, this is an interesting question.
Jesus was a Jew, of course, but it's interesting to speculate about what sect he belonged to. A book I'm reading about the Dead Sea Scrolls goes into great detail about the Essenes---how they lived, what they believed, their view of the world---and it's amazing how much of what was written about them (by Josephus, Philo, Pliny the younger) had direct correlations in the gospels.
Back then did they get around on big dragonflies?Then again there's a later and little known Gospel that has Jesus passing out flowers at an ancient Judean airport...
