Where Jesus Spent His Old Age (crucifixion, missionaries, translation, disciples)

The locals believe that Jesus wasn't crucified on Golgotha, but instead came to live in Shingo, where his remains are buried. I visited his "tomb," marked by a road sign that says "Tomb of Christ: Next Left."

Interesting...what do you think?

Simple. It was not Jesus but Hey-soose.

It doesn't make much sense that they mark his grave with a cross.

ROFLMAO!!!!

Instead of Christ being crucified, somehow his younger brother Isukiri ends up dying on the cross, while Jesus fled to Japan via Vladivostok and Alaska. (Such details as how Jesus had a younger brother and how the Romans got the wrong guy are not addressed in the legend.) Eventually he came to this tiny village, where he took up rice farming, married a local girl named Miyuko and produced three daughters before dying peacefully at the age of 106. In Shingo, Jesus kept a low profile — he didn't multiply any loaves or fish, although when the villagers were dying of starvation he did travel far to find them food.

Sounds exactly like the sort of weird story you would expect to spring up in a land which produced the Hidden Christians (Kakure Kirishitan) after the faith was banned. When Christianity returned to Japan centuries leter, missionaries found people practicing a sort distorted and barely remembered Roman Catholicism, but they didn't really understand what they were doing.

Sounds kind of like the alleged history of Jesus in Kashmir, India after the crucifixion. They believe that He did not die but lived through the crucifixion and died as an old man in India, where his supposed grave rests today. Probably not true, as the disciples would have known where Jesus went after His death, and it is clear that none of them had Him going on vacation to either Japan or India..

So the rumors are true: Jesus liked sushi and Godzilla movies.

It is because of these rumors that I think we get along so well.
