Matthew 26:31 Then Jesus told them, “This very night you will all fall away on account of me, for it is written: “‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’

Well lets see first off israel is already an asian country...the example of bows and arrows is dumb, most cultures ha those, and comparing slightly similar hats? meh.

But considering both nations, israel and japan, are both part of asia im sure the jews had contact with other asian nations and their ideas spread. Though its doubtful that even the similarity between headwear is anything but coincidence

study the characters of Asian languages; many have Christian roots.

first of all ... i love all the videos and photos but it could just as easily be evidence that japanese voyagers brought the religion back with them possibly through inter marriage. Psalm 65:8 has been taken by some to mean from Japan to.... because Japan is known as the land of the rising sun as it still is today and is depicted as such on it's flag. this is debatable though, thought i would throw it out there as a point of interest

Lets be honest not every nation sent people. America? Probably not, South America? Probably not, Australia? Probably not. This verse is probably referencing the known world at the time...which wasnt that massive. Not all things are meant to be taken literally.

What does the text say? Whether or not you can understand it and fit it into your framework of human history does not make the biblical testamony false.

Are you forgetting who the author of this book is? It isn't Luke. He is merely the scribe. Since the Holy Spirit is the author of the statement then it must be understood in respect to his knowledge of what countries are known to HIM and where his people have been scattered.

You realize the Bible isn't meant to be taken 100% literally right?
Also how would people have gotten there? Did they row from australia? Did they swim from america? If america had made contact with jerusalem in 40 AD by being at pentecost why did no one remember the place even existed until the 1400's?

Is that what the Bible says about itself or is this just your way of attempting to rationalize away the parts you do not understand or agree with?

This contenant has been well known to western traders since even before the times of the vikings. Perhaps a little judicious research into word history will show you some things you may not have known.

What are your references? Other than a few near mythological references to Irish Monks sailing to N. America, it is widely known throughout academia that the Vikings first settled Greenland in 980 and Vinland (Newfoundland) in 1003. Prior that that, there are no records in Western history of the Americas.

References, sir. References.

The first recorded evidence of European contact with the N. American contact was in 980 with the settlement of Greenland, the next landmark was in 1003 with the establishment of a short-lived settlement at Vinland (Newfoundland). Beyond these well documented historical facts, there are very few hypothesis about pre-Viking European contact with the Americas. Many are fringe theories with little-to-no academic support or evidence (such as Romans in the Americas).

I would like to see your references for where you learned the notion that western traders knew of the Americas before the Vikings.
