Can there be other accounts of Jesus visiting other parts of the world after his resurrection?

Answer 1

Yes, there can be, but they are probably false. Jesus came to the earth as a man, and as a man generated his gospel (good news). He intentionally came to save the Jews first, his own people, but along with this, He came to save all men. In order to do this, He went to great lengths to teach and mentor His disciples. He charged them many times to spread His gospel to the world. He taught them how to do it, and He let them know how important their job was. After His resurrection, He came to them and let them know again, carry on His mission here on earth. The final thing He told them was that He was going to prepare a place for them, that where He is, they may be also.

So no, accounts of Christ visiting other parts of the world are directly against His own words, that He was leaving this world, to prepare a place for us, not visiting parts of the world that He hasn't been yet. Christ was very honest, and if He were going to other parts of the world, He would have told us that, not that He was leaving to prepare a place for us. Also, if He visited other parts of the world, it undermined His charge to the disciples, to spread the gospel throughout the world.

As Christians, we would have no reason to spread the gospel if Christ had visited other cultures, we would just say that they already know. The Bible clearly tells us that we must spread the gospel, so that all men can hear it.

Also, why would Christ only visit certain parts of the world and not all parts. He went where it all began, so it could be spread from there. We must realize as Americans or Europeans that Christ did not come to us, He came to the Jews, and we have received a special gift from those who chose to spread it, and we must also continue that legacy.

Answer 2

Not impossible that He might have visited "other parts of the world" between His Resurrection and His Ascension. Or even post-Ascension appearances such as that for the call of St. Paul.

As for whether there are nearly contemporary accounts of such visits, that would depend on the extent of writing at that time and the ability to interpret it correctly now.

Such speculation can only be tentative at best. Sufficient information contained in the Scriptures that you might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God and that through believing you may have Life throug His Name.

Answer 3

There are some accounts from India that say Jesus survived the resurrection, and went to India, where he preached love and peace, and eventually died there as well. (see links below)

There is a short paragraph in Iraneus that states Jesus lived to about 55 years of age. Then he denied that he said it.

I personally do beleive this as I think Jesus's teachings were in agreement with a lot of the buddhist teachings. You just need to read the Gospel of Thomas.

Answer 4

In early Christian times there were many books that circulated about Jesus. Many of them were burned once the Church took over the job of deciding which books were "inspired by God". Hence they are lost in antiquity. Some books of early Christian writings have been found in whole or in part, particularly in Egypt. And I suspect that more of them will be found in the dry sands there. I have been reading them on the Internet but I have found nothing relating to the travels of Jesus in them so far. Have a great evening! HEY DUDE-I DID FIND A BOOK ABOUT JESUS'S TRAVELS AFTER THE RESURRECTION IN THE ACTS OF THOMAS. YOU CAN READ THIS BOOK ON EARLYCHRISTIANWRITING.COM

Answer 5

Latter Day Saints (mormons) claim he was in the Americas, but not after the resurrection - during the 3 days that he was in the tomb

Answer 6

He once visited Disneyland after reversing time and allowing Romo to hold onto the ball, so the Cowboys wouldn't have to spend millions in Prozac for a dysfunctional team.

Answer 7

nope, Jesus said who He was gonna visit and then He went to heaven. the Bible was inspired by God and as such whatever isn't written there has about a 99% chance of never occuring.
Ex: aliens, extra visitations, etc..

Answer 8

If you believe that 10 million Mormons can't be wrong. Of course, there is great debate since there were no "Mormoms" in Central America before the first of their missionaries arrived.
