Raven thinks the passage of time would have been a factor. The earliest gospel, Mark, was written some 40 odd years after his crucifixion. So it would be unlikely they would have found anyone who grew up with him. Interestingly a group in Kashmir claim that 2000 years ago a boy travelled there from Judea with his family and learnt Buddhism off the monks, then returned home after a number of years. Could the Nazarene's preaching's of love thy enemy and turn the other cheek be inspired by Buddhist teachings? It all fits. Jesus was prolly a Buddhist. Matthew 22:35 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, 36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.38 This is the first and great commandment. ....but it was only one of Jesus parables. Luke 19:27 But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me. Jesus was a Jewish man, and a Torah [law] teacher. "Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother."Matthew 19:16-19 The above [Matthew 19:16-19] were quoted by Jesus, directly from the book(s) of the law, the Torah, Exodus 20:12-16 Deuteronomy 5:16-20 And including, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.From, Leviticus 19:18
