Who said none went to India?
It was said that Jesus went to India and learned from the "swamis" there. I was told that most of his teachings are from the Hindu philosophy.
There is nothing to brag about here dude. Based on the account in the Bible, Jesus did not teach much and did even less.
I often told you, there is the need to discover what is said for its truths and a need to have basic tools to be critical on the onset. One satisfies their needs and creates their world view from these approach. You are in the latter.
Jesus is profound. He is direct. He is simple and penetrating. He connects the distant past of his people to the present and directs them on a path to the future. The sermon on the mount is one of the places one can find all of this and it is where he has the most sustained dialog. It is structurally the most beautiful poetic utterances about the principles for a good and moral approach to living.
It is the place where most Christians concentrate on to get the seminal understanding of the faith and it contains some of the worlds most recognizable phrases that practically everyone living has heard them and they immediately grasps its understanding.
It includes the famous beatitudes and the lords prayer. This section is not only vast in its scope and profound philosophically; anyone from any religion or not can grasp its truths.
