Did Jesus visit Ireland?

harney

Did a quick search and could't see this, but it appears the big fellow may have visited Ireland during his student days, the funny thing is he appears to have hung around Meath instead of Galway with all the other arts students :eek:

Irish American scholar and film-maker John McCloskey says he has found evidence that Jesus studied in Ireland.

Did he find a stone that said Jesus on it and put 2 and 2 together or something?


How could he make such an assumption?

Great, yet more Jesus/Christianity bashing courtesy of AH. A thread ripping the piss out of Judaism or Islam would probably result in a locking, yet it's always open-season on Christianity.

Got to start somewhere. I'm getting to Islam.

Was it Jesus the person, or Jesus the Zombie? I personally like Jesus the Zombie, risen from the dead, looking to eat your brain. Braaaaaaaaaaaaaains.

It's highly unlikely that Jesus visited Ireland, Paul didn't even reach Spain, he had intended to but was beheaded by Emperor Nero for appealing to the Emperor as is noted in the Acts of the Apostles. Jesus in the Gospels also recognises that his first opportunity was to minister to the lost sheep of Israel, and then following this that He would be a light to all nations.

As for Jesus' existence however. It is widely noted in non-Christian literature that Y'shua ben Nazerat (Jesus of Nazareth) existed.

See the appendix at the end of this page concerning this:

No, he didn't - he'd have never gotten out alive. Peace and caring for your fellow man..? Hah! He'd have been up on a cross much in half the time.

He was only passing through here on a trip to the Nephites

McCloskey says that the implications of his theories would be “vast and overwhelming.”

“First of all the Irish would know what every human being is entitled to know: what their true ancestry is. The Irish come from noble and illustrious background, from the ancestors of Alexander the Great and Phillip of Macedonia.

That's what the Romans said!

He only came to Ireland to see if it was true that he wasn't born here because they couldn't find three wise men and a virgin.

And may it remain open until the last God-botherer has copped on.

Jesus did spend time in Ireland, mostly around Dublin.

That's where he got his best nickname:

JAYSUS!!!!!

After a brief stint of miracles, he then headed to the states and formed the Beegees. Here, the carpenter can be quite clearly seen :

Damn the facts this is brilliant! We need to run with this, those American Christians are easy pickings for our many religious stall owners.

I'd say it's more likely he went east though.

Do you really think this makes much of an impact on Christians? No, our connection with God is more profound, and nothing can separate a true Christian from Christ.

If atheists feel the need to ridicule theists, it only suggests to me that they are rather insecure with their own way of life.

Bizzarely, there is historical testimony that Tallaght was occupied by Greeks:

"The place name Tallaght is derived from the words támh leacht, meaning a plague burial place. The earliest mention of Tallaght in recorded history is the account of Parthalon in the Annals of the Four Masters. Parthalon the Greek was one of the early invaders of Ireland. A plague killed 9,000 of his followers in one week and they were buried in Tallaght and its environs and so the place came to be named Taimleach Muintire Parthalon."

I knew it was a bad idea for Colin Farrell to play Alexander. See what happens when people take the movies seriously.

Of course I don't think it has an impact on committed Christians.

American Christians frighten the hell out of me. Look at Fred Phelps, or even this crowd who genuinely believe they're speaking in tongues - makes me wonder if they even register on the IQ scale :
