Samurai Jesus

This is realy odd .. but is it any stranger than other religious fairy tales?

That Jesus guy sure got around. This is a sign in Shingo, Japan, where they claim that Jesus settled down after escaping crucifixion. When Jesus Christ was 21 years old, he came to Japan and pursued knowledge of divinity for 12 years. He went back to Judea at age 33 and engaged in his mission. However, at that time, people in Judea would not accept Christ’s preaching. Instead, they arrested him and tried to crucify him on a cross. His younger brother, Isukiri casually took Christ’s place and ended his life on the cross.
Christ, who escaped the crucifixion, went through the ups and downs of travel, and again came to Japan. He settled right here in what is now called Herai Village, and died at the age of 106.
On this holy ground, there is dedicated a burial mound on the right to deify Christ, and a grave on the left to deify Isukiri. The above description was given in a testament by Jesus Christ.

I was always under the impression that Jesus began His ministry at age 30.

Wonder if he invented the pogoda?

If Jesus was a real person then I'm guessing like, 95% of the stories about his life are either huge exaggerations or made up entirely.

perfect example of religion....

Thats because he did, and this sign is clearly a hoax designed to mislead people who are easily gullible. I find it funny how one of Christ's JEWISH brothers has a japanese name. Isukiri is NOT hebrew, its japanese and jesus' real name was Yeshua, NOT Jesus and the japanese would have had no reason to call him Jesus since none of them spoke greek at that time (not to mention Japanese came from korea about this time so there was no Japan then).

Sightings of Jesus have been seen all over the world after his resurrection. Even some native american tribes have claimed to see Jesus and called him the "Great Spirit" and described the holes in his hands and feet from the nails.

I certainly heard Him say Jesus just like the spelling sounds, just saying

And how is it that we hear, each in our own language in which we were born?
Acts2

There are, it may be, so many kinds of languages in the world, and none of them is without significance.
1Corinthians14

I say, have they not heard? Yes indeed: “ Their sound has gone out to all the earth,And their words to the ends of the world.
Romans10

And there are also many other things that Jesus did, which if they were written one by one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that would be written.
John21
