Was Jesus Christ infact Maitreya?

Question

Then he can be called "Buddha of Judah"

Answer 1

No he is not Maitreya. Maitreya is a divine figure whom Buddhists beleive that he will visit the earth and rules the world in prosperity. Even the Bahai faith believes the same.

Answer 2

1. It's totally possible. In fact, keeping in line with general Buddhist thought on Jesus's status as a bodhisattva, and comparing him to Maitreya, it makes a lot of sense.

2. Whether true or not, It does make a darn good line.

Answer 3

Nope! Jesus Christ (That's a Greek translation of his name, by the way) was, in fact Yeshua Ben Joseph of the House of David. In other words, he was Hebrew Royalty and an Orthodox Hebrew at that. In those days you had to be a member of the Tribe of Judah to be a Jew. He was most likely a Priest (Rabbi) of the Essene Order (Dead Sea Scrolls people) and was leading a revolt against Roman rule of Judea when he was executed by the Romans for treason against the Emperor. He would have been the Kingly pillar of society and his cousin, John the Baptist, would have been the Priestly Pillar, but John was killed and his place was taken by Yeshua's brother James the Just, known in those days as Josiah Bar Abbas (Barabbas, get it?). The Romans demanded that one of them had to die so Yeshua Ben Joseph was cricified and Josiah Bar Abbas was freed because the Hebrews chose their Priestly Pillar over their Kingly Pillar. It's in the book (Gospel of Mary Magdalene) look it up.

Answer 4

Jesus is everything to all people. It really does not matter what you call him.
