eskimobasecamp 0 Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 Haha this is sort of bizzare... my Mum forwarded this article to me from The Times in the UK - apparently a bunch of people in Japan claim the tomb of Jesus is in Japan and that he lived here for most of his life and spoke fluent Japanese...... and some dude even claims he's a direct desendent of the J man himself...... how totally random. Check it out... http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,25689-2201183,00.html Link to post Share on other sites

farquah 0 Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 Can just imagine a wise guy Gaijin who came across here all those years ago and piped up, "nice to meet you guys, oh and by the way did I tell you I am Jesus?!" Jesus sake then anyone?! Link to post Share on other sites
Rag-Doll 0 Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 Crazy yes, but not quite so unbeleivable: China had Hung Hsiu-ch'üan who thought he was Jesus's younger brother. Hung Hsiu-ch'üan was the son of a poor farmer near Canton. He was a promising young student, but repeatedly failed the civil service examination in Canton. After one such failure, he overheard a Christian missionary speaking and brought home several Christian treatises. The next year he again failed the exam and, according to some historians, had a nervous breakdown. Whatever happened, Hung had several visions in which an old man told him that people had stopped worshipping him and were worshipping demons; in another, the man appointed him as a slayer of demons. Hung believed that the man in the visions was God the Father and that a younger, middle aged man that visited him in visions was Jesus Christ, his Elder Brother. He himself was the Younger Brother and had been sent by God to earth in order to eradicate demons and demon worship. 20-30 million deaths later he wasn't so certain of his divinity and killed himself.

me jane 0 Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 Interesting that Jerusalem presented them with a plaque. I wonder how people who strongly believe in the Bible feel about it or how some Japanese might react if another country started claiming that the original imperial decendants of the sun has actually spend quite a few years producing "half" babies in another country. I showed that article to a few of my students this morning and it made for some interesting discussions. Link to post Share on other sites
