What evidence is there that Jesus ever visited America?
-
So I went to a Mormon church with some friends yesterday, which was tonnes of fun (srsly, such a great day; everyone was so friendly). During the service, they had a part where anybody could go up to the stand and exclaim their faith (can't remember what it's called), and there was one man who really caught my attention. He talked about this television show called Around The World in 80 Faiths. I actually intended to watch this, but I fell asleep in the bath (as I so often do) and missed it. However, he pointed out a certain section of the show covering the Church of Jesus Christ and Latter Day Saints, in which he was apparently not pleased. The man who presented the show had apparently said to some Mormons: "You are aware that there isn't a shred of evidence that Jesus ever visited America, aren't you?" The man at the stand apparently found this preposterous. He stated to us, "There is mountains of evidence that Jesus visited America, both archaeological and--" and this point he cut himself off and began another sentence. It was that sentence that interested me. As far as I'm aware, there is barely any (verging on no) evidence that Jesus existed at all, let alone that he visited America. So what is the "mountain of evidence" that he visited America? Or was that nonsense?

Answer:
Jesus never existed he was a symbolic vision of Horus and there is no evidence that he visited America, though there is evidence that someone using that name made his way to India

At the time America was not discovered yet so Christ never went to America

Don't bash on the Mormons. They have every bit as much evidence as any other religion.

8 And it came to pass, as they understood they cast their eyes up again towards heaven; and behold, they saw a Man descending out of heaven; and he was clothed in a white robe; and he came down and stood in the midst of them.... 9 And it came to pass that he stretched forth his hand and spake unto the people, saying: 10 Behold, I am Jesus Christ, whom the prophets testified shall come into the world. 11 And behold, I am the light and the life of the world; and I have drunk out of that bitter cup which the Father hath given me, and have glorified the Father in taking upon me the sins of the world, in the which I have suffered the will of the Father in all things from the beginning. 14 Arise and come forth unto me, that ye may thrust your hands into my side, and also that ye may feel the prints of the nails in my hands and in my feet, that ye may know that I am the God of Israel, and the God of the whole earth, and have been slain for the sins of the world. (Book of Mormon; 3 Nephi 11:8-11, 14) Legends of the Great White God (described as bearded) who visited the ancestors of the Indians of the Americas were found in abundance when the Spanish explorers encountered these people; some here have noted beliefs regarding this. This God promised to return to these people, which is the reason the Indians were at first thrilled to meet the white and bearded Spaniards.

LDS. you were at a Fast and Testimony meeting. And the leaders have asked us not to tell stories but give our "testimony". There is as much or more evidence that Jesus visited the Americas as that he existed at all. I have like 8 books on "evidences" and stories. There is certainly stories the of the flood such as the picture book called Es-cheel-o-cheel, I will ot spell it out for you. The Book of Mormon talks of lite and dark people, this is 1830, no one knew then it talks of two distinct cultures, (Omecs and Mayan) It gives evidence why the Mayans disappeared It discusses that thy had wars, this has been verified Temples, well you know that Astronomy, if you studied the sites you would see it There is a book that gives all this. But the point is the it does not matter, it is the Book of Mormon that matters and gaining a good feeling, or the spirit. Physical evidence means nothing.

Uhhh people are still trying to fond evidence that Jesus even existed
I Don't Believe You
archeology is a young study. but there is archeology found that seems to support some of the BoM stories. like the cave of lehi, and the land of the prophet lehi which exists today still mostly untouched. there are western continent stone boxes that have been found to hold records of stone tablets too. take a look at the magazine Ancient Manuscripts. (or is it Ancient american?) anyway, i posted a photograph or two on skydrive and a link on QA edit: if there was a man that said there tons of evidence, id like to see it myself, im not an archeologist. however, i forgot to mention the hebrew writing of the ten commandments on the cave in new mexico. another treasure find in a cave in illinois and there is some archeology in the mountains of Utah, i think. I also think the U.S. government was alleged to have made it offlimits to the public. i did listen i just forget the details. know this testimony from glenn kimbal too!! when he visited south america he was practically mobbed by the natives they looked at hands and feet and took his shoes off when he first got off the bus. they thought he was the acclaimed returning messiah who they called the bearded white God. aztecs and mayans both have a similiar legend in their history. So the book of mormon is not alone. in the fact that Jesus was resurrected and visited "other sheep" and he was resurrected, not a spirit, but in a body of flesh and bone

Well, according to the Mormoms, he did, after his resurrection, I believe, it is in Mormon scripture that he appeared to the inhabitants of the continent of North America. It could also be said that He, Jesus, has visited America, because, where his faithful are, so is He - they are in Him and He in them. That's a lot of evidence right there. If you're a Christian, you shouldn't find it too far fetched to believe he has walked among us throughout the ages...
