Can we say with 100% certainty that he did not?
Terry Gillard
With 100% absolute certainty.
Not because we have the physical evidence: or we just simply don't want to believe - but because He is the Son of God, born of a virgin, and died as a substitute lamb for us.
That is - we who are Born of the Spirit know Him - and he has no history / link or in any association with Hinduism or any other false religion!

Thank you Terry!!
Yes, we are 100% certain of the truth over lies. If it isn't of the truth it is a lie. There is no evidence of any kind that Jesus went to India.
While we're at it, why not put it out that He travelled to other parts of the world? Because it isn't true!!
You gave the reason we know it's a lie: we have the Spirit of Truth to teach us and lead us into all truth. We know Him! Without Him, there's no way to know what a person might believe. God says one thing, someone else (the enemy) says something different, and it all depends on which story sounds the best... That's the fate of the deceived!
Lying is enjoying unprecedented popularity. Sensationalism grabs people!! It isn't enough that Jesus died for our redemption, He has to have studied abroad before being ordained by a prestigious Rabbi!
