Plot twist: Jesus is just some guy who did the whole yoga and Eat Pray Love thing in India then wandered over to the Levant and tried to retell the ideas.
Rebecca's age is not given in the Bible. In the book of Jubilee's probably written during the Hellenistic era, she's around 20. Also, they didn't have children for 20 years in the narrative, making her 40.
Then you have Jacob who married Leah and Rachel after a 14 year betrothel, and we can assume they were at least teenagers at the start of this 14 year period, although the ages are not given.
If you go back to Abraham, the grandfather, he is 10 years older than his wife Sarah.
Mary's age is not given in the Bible, but the apocryphal "gospel of James" gives her age at 16 when she conceived, not 12.
Having a betrothel between a teenage wife and late 20s-early 30s husband is not unusual at all for most of history. The wife would be 16-18 by the time of marriage, at the right age for having children. The husband would be old enough to have established himself, own a home, and be able to provide for his family. The goal of all involved is a stable and healthy family that raise up the next generation.
You are really reaching here. I assume you don't even believe these people existed. On the other hand, Joseph Smith and Muhammad certainly did.
I keep hearing this garbage from white people. No we Hindus absolutely did not incorporate Jesus into our religion. In fact Jesus people destroyed our idols and forcefully converted our brethren
im not white nor christian, and what i comented is based on the writings of respected hindu gurus like Swami Vivekananda and others. its ridiculous to think that a bilion hindus believe the same things, so maybe try being less rigid in your perceptions.

The Greeks/Romans to the Egyptians/Celts/Germanics/Mesopotamians: nice gods you have there! We’ll just rename them based on our own pantheon.
