'Cool, Starry, Bra!' Time

Many, many years ago, I had a Sunday school teacher [I went to a Christian Protestant-denomination church] theorize that as a teenager/young adult, Jesus had travelled to India or thereabouts and had studied with Buddhist monks, who influenced his teachings. This was how she rationalized [for lack of a better word, I suppose] the similarities between the much older Buddhist religion and Christianity. She supposed that the reason this wasn't mentioned in the Bible--and most of Jesus's life has been left out of the Bible--was because Christian elders didn't want the young'uns checking out Buddhism or any other religion, lest they be tempted away from the ~true~ religion.

Anyhoo, her theory made a lot of sense to me at the time. Idk if I ship it, exactly, but the idea that anyone who did would be going to hell is very, very strange to me....would you mind elaborating as to why you think that is, OP?

NAYRT
huh, I've heard of that theory before. probably not true, but interesting nonetheless. is that related to New Age stuff, or Christian mysticism?

it's funny but I think there's actually something like that in that one book The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal. He and Jesus go somewhere in Asia, at least, and learn kung fu. it is a silly book.

Very unlikely, tbh. I'm not sure I see similarities between Buddhist teachings and Jesus's teachings, and the chance that he could've afforded to go to India and study are pretty slim, too.
