Did Jesus Have A Secret Japanese Twin Brother?

[@RareEarthSeries]

Thanks to everyone who asked about our Patreon. I'll put out a full video when I get the time, but for those who want to jump the gun and get on board from the start, here's the link: www.patreon.com/rareearth It means a huge deal that so many have asked us to start an account. I never thought anyone would watch these videos, let alone support them.

[@adamhunter5625]

hey man, Im a huge fan of most of your videos, I love the thing you have at the end where you say to make sure to research your own stuff, because i agree that we need more independent thinkers in the world. If I may just say in regards to the video, I was confused by placing mormons in the same category as scientology because the groups are so different. Scientology gets dirt on people so they cant leave, is abusive and practices brainwashing, where as the mormons (or LDS church) teaches pretty standard good christian morals. based on my research there are some offshoot groups that do sketchier stuff, but the group recognized my society at large (the one people such as Mitt Romney or Alex Boyé are a part of) has pretty standard practices and doesn't force anything on people. i realize its a small thing, but ive got a good number of mormon friends so i thought id learn more, and your video is kinda misleading by placing them in the comparative group you have. in all honesty i doubt you'll see this, and I also doubt any change will come from it, but hey im following your advice and finding something contrary to what you had said and was hoping that maybe youd rectify it :)

[@adrianirimescu988]

Cool, funny and all but I would not call it a conspiracy theory, which is such an instrumentalist term anyways. Just bogus sensationalism, an international phenomenon nevertheless.

[@temberharward]

You just criticised 16 million believing Latter-day Saints as believing in a lie. I respect your right to say whatever you want and believe, but maybe you should actually honestly learn our faith before you use such a criticism.

[@valentinecarstensen6839]

Loyalty to a dogma above God and family = Cult. Sorry LDS

"The amount of people who believe a lie changes how we're allowed to talk about it."

[@Crazt]

Jen Oween, I read your quote as he said it. My brain couldn't comprehend that for a good second.

[@nacoran]

Interesting that he carefully avoids casting dispersions on religions that are a little bit bigger... Scientology and Mormonism are just on the cusp where enough people think they are crazy, but he doesn't say, 'Or Jesus himself'.

[@eastowest]

Actually, he did but in a more subtle way. Watch 4:03 to 4:11 and follow his gaze. Also, it's "aspersions", not "dispersions".

After the crucifixion of Jesus he rose 3 days later, gave a strange map to one of his followers, and travelled the East into Japan where, on the easternmost part of Japan, he constructed a boat with the aid of the local people in order to travel to America where he lived among the native people's in California and Nevada and when he died of old age his body disappeared only to be discovered again in the single greatest horse racing event of the 1800's, the Steel Ball Run.

[@Boyetto-san]

Sazed Mahmud Right up to the part where a lookalike was crucified in Jesus' place, yeah. But I'm pretty sure Muslims didn't name the lookalike Isukiri, who was Jesus' brother, then had Jesus travel half the world to Japan to live out the rest of his life as an ordinary rice farmer lol

[@Hollylivengood]

Funny enough "Isukiri" is a shortened version of "Iesu Kirisuto"... otherwise translated as Jesus Christ.

They are not nuts. Since we don't even know if it really happened or not bc we did not live in their time.

Yeah, false logic is the worst. Until you can you prove the existance of something, you have to assume it does not exist. Not the other way around. Where that leads has been shown in history all over.

[@ariesmight4141]

Endless Slumber. I heard about that so many years ago. The chemical affects peoples heart if I remember correctly.

[@ariesmight4141]

Delve. Certain Metals or metal is intentually sprayed into the air. To reduce the amount of pollution in the air. The affect is known to cause heart problems. The full story about it was aired live on mainstream news. Did you also know that everytime you use aluminum foil. To cook with or drink beer out af an aluminum can. Bits of aluminum is left in your food. The aluminum particles then build up in your brain. Which leads to the development of Alzheimer.

[@Yesica1993]

I had never heard this story before. I liked the question raised, about why some cults "stick", and some do not. I had not thought of it that way before! Fascinating stuff. And as always, the best historical information on the real Jesus is to be found in the best source documents, the gospels.

[@andreleblanc1963]

[@kenzab.9375]

True, his theory stands i think. Its all about representation, people want to relate to the figures they idolise and those are good examples of that

[@oldskool1541]

Been deep diving this channel- Evan is so thoughtful in most of his videos about other people’s thoughts and feelings on different subjects and how he’s viewing their lives through his own eyes, yet in this one he dismisses out of hand the lived experiences of some of the kindest people I’ve ever met. Seems out of character for him.

[@cernunnos_lives]

What's funny is that Christ wasn't his name (Khristos = Greek for annoited). And Christmas was originally a pagan holiday anyway. Winter Solstice and Equinox was observed by many cultures. So December 25th was appropriated by later Christians. Same as Easter. Bunnies had little to do with a martyred Jew being tortured to death.

What a great set of short documentaries- I’m really enjoying them thanks. They’d be even better if, IMHO, you included some sort of dateline in the voice over.

So, Jesus was born in Bethlehem, then goes to Egypt with his family to excape Herod. Then after visiting the temple when he was 12 he decides to just get up and leave. Goes to Japan then goes back. Fakes his death. Back to Japan then dies. THEN goes to America and makes the golden tablets for the Indians. Boom there you go.

What the hell are Indians doing in America? I mean I know Indian-Americans exist but at the time Jesus obviously created the gold tablets, there’s most likely be none or extremely little Indians in America. White people and Native-Americans maybe...

5:04 Don't forget the main point of life which is differentiating truth from the lies. Discounting beliefs as just a hope instead of a way of seeing and experiencing life isn't a truth. If you're seeking the truth don't discount unpopular groups or ideas(unless of course it goes against basic human morals without pure reason) just because they are popularly discounted. Are the things/people discounting them(kinda like this statement) have credible sources? Or just a hatred for having and showing if not the whole truth but some truth. Not to say of course obvious groups that raise money only to pocket it without using it for things it was promised don't exist(though the truth is one group you mentioned actually doesn't pocket money, I know from research and seeing its impacts first hand). Which is why I say don't always discount teachings until you personally know them to be false firsthand, even if they are popularly discounted.
