Even the Christian sources I read say Christianity spread to India between the years 70 and 100.  And Paul is actually personally credited with spreading Christianity to the east. The rest having to do with it continuing to spread through already established Jewish groups.

Also, Paul starting it and where he personally traveled has nothing to do with where it ended up in his lifetime.

He starts it in location A.
It spreads to location B, C and D through word of mouth and dissatisfied Jews.  Paul does not have to personally spread it.

Check your own facts, Rik.  There is no evidence it existed in Jesus supposed lifetime. It spread 70 to 100 years after, during and after Paul's lifetime.


Wrong once again Aro.  Panic

There is absolutely nothing that say that Paul ever went to India.
Nothing.
But there is tons of history about the Apostle Thomas that went to India.
There is also tons of history about the fact that Christianity started in south India in the 52 A.D. which is before the dates that you
came up with.
Paul die in Rome sometime between 62 and 67 A.D.
In those times people didn't have the internet or other forms of media so news could not possibly spread fast.
If you consider that Paul die at the age of 61-62 and never went to India then it would be impossible for Him to have spread Christianity there in 8-9 years period between when Christianity in India started and his death.

Check your facts Aro.   Lightbulb
I didn't say Paul went to India. I said he is credited with spreading it to the east.   

I agree it started AFTER Christ supposedly died.  ok, so 50 years (Taking your word with no link).  It started during Paul's Lifetime, not Jesus.  YOU agree with me.
You don't think word of mouth could spread in 5 to 10 years? That is dumb.  It only takes a few months to travel from the middle east to India by caravan.  It could have spread there in under a year. The spread of Christianity is pretty well documented.  It spread there after Paul started it in the near east.  Even biblical scholars agree with that.  You know more than biblical scholars, now?

Maybe you should check your reading comprehension skills.   And please don't call me "Aro".  Thanks Smile

P.s. I am checking my facts, and I'm linking my sources as well.  Which is more than I can say for you.
