“Lost In India”

Tuesday, May 16, 2017

I have reading some articles about lost years of Jesus.  There are some articles that say that Jesus went to India and learned from Buddhists.  Is that really true?

Sincerely,
Ohm?

Dear Ohm,

There aren’t any lost years of Jesus’ life.  During Jesus’ childhood, He studied with the rabbis and Jewish teachers (Lk 2:42-26).  He also learned and remained obedient to His parents (Lk 2:51-52).  We know that Jesus and His parents fled to Egypt at one point (Matt 2:13-14)… but we have no reason to believe they traveled anywhere else.  Furthermore, Jesus makes it clear that He only worshipped the Lord (Matt 4:10)… which would preclude Him learning from Buddhists.
