It is said that when Columbus came to the "New World" he was thought by some of the people to have been some sort of God who returned. Was Columbus mistaken for Jesus?

Could be or a figure that very closely resembles Jesus. It is said that Jesus did visit all people of the earth. What the Aztecan/Mayan culture refer to as Quexzacoatl or the Feathered Serpent figure, could actually be Jesus the Christ.

No... accourding to the Gospel bills got here across in the Christian Bible, Jesus did no longer visit the yank continent. He grow to be seen by utilising many people in and around Jerusalem. He ascended into heaven 40 days after the resurrection. the only exception to it is the thought held by utilising the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormons) the place those events are recorded of their canon of Scripture.

No.
First, you're confusing explorers. It was the Aztecs who thought that Cortes was the reincarnation of Quetzalcoatl and this is not universally accepted. Quetzalcoatl was a feathered serpent god who was said to wear a white mask (not to be a white man). The speculation (and there are no contemporary Aztec records) is that the plumed helmets of the Spanish were what might have caused this identification (and the horses and firearms certainly helped).

Of course he was because we all know that Jesus looked like a Spaniard.

Nope.
Again, the belief Jesus was here was a Mormon doctrine, and in THEIR belief, it happened long before Columbus.

They could have mistaken him for Jesus since they had never seen Jesus in the first place. There's no evidence for it whatsoever, just a bunch of lies that the Mormons have bought with their lives.
