Jesus Christ in Japan?

Hey Folks, I've been a lurker here for a while so this is my first post.

I was reading an article in The Daily Mail yesterday about how a scroll has been found that claims Jesus survived the crucifixtion and spent the rest of his days living in Japan. I know it all sounds bizzare but as we all know, stranger things have happend.

Here are a link I've found....enjoy

This just sounds like a town tricking people out of their money because it doesnt make alot.

Hey you never know. Joseph Smith made a very similar claim and founded the Mormon religion so i'm sure some in Japan will believe this claim. And if they have copies of ancient japanese documents to back the claim up there may be some validity to it.

Heck Joseph Smith never even let anyone else see his gold tablets and hundreds of thousands of people believe him.
