ALSO write give KNOWLEDGE, why didn't Buddhism expand more into the west as it was BEFORE the rise of the cult of Christianity and was as far west into Greece and Levant with traveling monks teaching. Why doesn't ANY religion expand and tell the FACT it's like history spread by the Conquerors. Smaller religions never spread when they are local regional tribal based like Judiaism or pagan local gods. But global religions do better propaganda by saying it's for all ergo ALL MUST worship this particular gawd fitting nicely with colonizing, conquering and invading.

​@@kennethmays8059Well there was an emperor who gave up war (Ashoka) even though he had the most powerful Empire at that time. So you can't say that India was weak we have been the economic powerhouse throughout history though in general most of the empires were concerned or remained within India except some South Indian empires like chola Empire or khmer empire. Even the foreign rulers who came to India remained concerned with India too either Mughal Empire or Delhi sultanate they were also limited in Indian subcontinent. So you can't say they were weak but rather were interested in internal conflicts. According to your logic Nazi Germany during world war 2 was also weak since they were concerned with only Europe

​@@samuraiboi2735 wrong. That Thomas clown never came to India.

Love your last statement 😂

You don't need a theory. It's clearly recorded in history. Christianity was banned for most of history because it forbids the worship of ancestors historical figures, as the Catholic church saw it as idolatry. This prevents Christianity from spreading further, so much so that the Catholic church had to concede and allowed Catholics in China to "venerate" ancestors and historical figures in 1939. The same practices were allowed in Vietnam in 1956.

Hinduism was 1st in Vietnam, Buddhism came after that. In fact Hinduism was there in all of the South east Asia. There are many Lord Shiva Statues being excavated from Vietnam these days.

The more dumber the Indian religions looks from the outside... The more fulfilling they are from inside But Abrahmic religions from outside looks perfect One God, One book and Story of guy who brought/wrote the book while adding all the stories of previous religion But from inside they seem hollow

Christianity has always been against science. Since they know their claims are so stupid, even an educated kid can expose it. In Hinduism however, we do not claim to know the "one true path" or the "one true book". We do not have commandments, because we are seekers. Seekers of answers and meaning. Seekers of God, and seekers of ourselves.

Star Wars beat the idealogical shit out of both Hindus and Christians with nothing but cool glowy swords and the dependability of the youth to always be massive disappointments to civilization. It's hollow on the inside and out but Disney still makes a fkton of money off it. :/ Just kind of give Jesus and Buddha a bunch of drugs and dare them to sword fight and boom its Star Wars.

If that is true it exemplifies the syncretism in Japan, where most xintoists are also buddhists

I believe it. It actually happens a lot in East asian countries. They just mix every religion. Even after converting they still practice shamanism.

Because Buddhism is inherently different from Christianity Buddhism puts more emphasis on practice than anything else, which allows for other animistic religions to be practiced alongside it, Christianity requires you to acknowledge that there is only one god. That concept obviously did not translate well

🤣that's kinds funny

These are all propaganda based stories to spread CHRISTIANITy and to give the local people a story for origin

Best thing about Buddhism is that you can modify it. According to Buddhism one can discard what one don't like. Example Buddha was a non violent person but violence is necessary to counter violence.

All peoples had their own religions and religious views prior to Christ. The real issue is geography, and well Christians caring about the great commission to teach the nations. Only a tiny fraction of Christians even bother to share their faith locally no less abroad. Overtime Christianity will grow in the East and it will have its own unique cultural flavors there too just as it does in the west.

That's true. Even here in the Philippines, Abrahamic religions didn't really penetrate deeply to the hearts and minds of the locals. We're basically practicing folk Catholicism and folk Islam here. Superstitions, beliefs in elves/nymphs/goddess of the woods and sacred groves, belief in karma and samsara (reincarnation), and belief in folk healers, which are all rooted in pre-colonial native Anitoism and Hindu-Buddhism, are still being observed. Early Philippine mosques were reminiscent of Asian multi-tiered wooden pagoda structures.

I think the main reason was that Many Colonizers were basically using Christianity as a tool for creating Loyalist within their Colonies and other territories. Most of the Time, Colonizers used to strip certain parts of the population from basic necessities altogether. After which the Christian missionaries took up their roles in imitating as an angel to save them. However, Missionaries put forward a condition. The victims had to be converted to Christianity in order to receive the help/ aid. Those who resisted were either plunged or left to die. Many Tribes have been wiped out entirely due to such malpractices. Hence they are also known as "Soul Vultures". Nowadays, Christian missionaries only target weaker sections by offering them bribes (around $200) to convert into Christianity.

Why are you saying foolishness. Christianity was their in India from (Ad 52)very olden days itself.Old Christians in Kerala are known as syrian Christians. They are called syrian Christians because they use Syrian language in their prayers. Syrian Christians can be found only in Kerala and Syria.Christianity came to kerala from Middle east not from Europe.If you have doubt please check the link en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Thomas_Christians

Don't try to spout lies about a lot of missionaries. People became Christians because of their willingness to convert not because of bribes and force.

@@historian252 the king of the Rus literally converted to Christianity because it let him drink alcohol (Islam didn’t) and trade with the Byzantines more. Most of Germany is only Christian because Charlemagne literally led an early crusade to burn down their sacred tree and built a church on top of it. Christianity absolutely did spread because of coercion and bribery, and I haven’t even mentioned the age of exploration. Even saints like mother Theresa were outed for saying things like their job wasn’t to actually help people only to save their souls which lead many of their clinics to be neglected and even badly maintained. Willingness to convert isn’t always by choice or by heart it’s often because you have no other option of you want to continue living.

"Across Asia" is a big exaggeration. That would have been the Near East aka "Asia Minor". It was always sparse further east. However, the Russian Orthodox Church itself came from Eastern Christian Orthodoxy and that extends to the Pacific. The Archbishops of Constantinople, Antioch, Jerusalem, and Alexandria were each considered to be on roughly the same level of the Archbishop of Rome. Hence the split. Islam came about in the late 600s and spread East (and West), so that took over the Near East and beyond.

@@leoguarknight1588 I didn't realize the Germanic tribes who destroyed the Roman Empire and destroyed all that knowledge were Muslim. In fact history records them as being Arian (not Aryan) Christians. Many Romans themselves felt that it was Christianity that eroded the morals of the Empire and fatally weakened it. Interesting fact that during the Dark Ages in Europe, Muslim Spain was widely considered the most educated part, to the point where European nobles would sent their children there. I used the phrase "Dark Ages in Europe" because it wasn't the Dark Ages in Greece or the Near & Middle East. Quite the opposite. It was they who preserved the Roman knowledge base. The Renaissance happened when Greek scholars fled/were hired by Italian nobles, bringing their texts with them (the Roman Catholic Church itself had some of these old Roman books).

​@magatism not necessarily, because during the pagan days of Antiquity there were many syncretic practices like adopting foreign gods into one's own pantheon, or like the interpretatio graeca, identify these foreign deities as one of theirs. For example the cult of the Egyptian Isis or the Persian Mithras in Rome itself or even conflating the Jewish Yahweh as the Roman Jupiter. The "one true God/religion" is much more a late thing that came with the Christians (and previously with the Jews of course)

@@hieratics Don't talk as if you were there. You have no clue what pagans have done in the past. Aztechs and Mayans slaughtered whole people to appease their Gods, ate their hearts.

When the population of Rome city was 40,000, In China whole ethnicities are buried in the wall becoz ching or mingg dynasty did not like their worship. Infact one of the bloodiest battle in history was fought against Christians in china by these socalled pagans killing 20-30 million.

It's as if they are not equipped with the study bone. You don't adopt practices, you usurp them, that is called cultural appropriation.

really only Spain was motivated by religion for its colonial expansion. Most other European countries were motivated by economic reasons. Part of that is timing- when Spain discovered the new world, they had just finished a major Crusade against Muslims in southern Spain, so they just continued that strategy in the New World.

If I recall correctly, Armenia was the first nation with state sanctioned Christianity, some 20 years or so before Constantine began to heavily support it. Granted, Armenia was much smaller than the Roman Empire and more of a client state than an outright military power, but Armenians take pride in their nation's acceptance of the faith. Sorry if this is unwelcome, I just like the little details. It's a personal quirk of mine.

Except the East did in fact have a unified militaristic empire literally bordering Rome called the Parthian Empire. And the Parthian Empire was also quickly getting Christianised at the same pace as the Roman Empire. Had the Romans not made Christianity their state religion, there is a good chance it would have been made the state religion of Parthia eventually. Even the Persian Shah, who invaded the Roman Empire when it had been Christianised, had a Persian Christian wife and he took the relic of the Holy Cross back to Persia to place it in his wife's Christian Royal Chapel there. But Persia got worried that the Christians within their Empire might be "Roman spies" and so they started persecuting the Christian population and tried to revive the Zoroastrian faith. Unfortunately for them, this decision solidified their demise at the hands of the Muslim Arab armies that invaded them in the 7th century. This is because, in their efforts to attack their own Christian population, they started creating issues with the Christian Arab tribes on their borders. When the Muslim Arab armies invaded, these Christian Arab tribes, because of their pan-Arab affiliations, would join their fellow Arabs and take down the Zoroastrian Parthians. But a solid Christian population remained in the region for centuries and would send missionaries from there to China and Central Asia. This is why when the Mongols invaded the Islamic world, the Christians were mostly spared because many of the Mongols either had Christian wives from Central Asia or were Christian themselves. But once the Mongols converted to Islam, that was the final nail in the coffin for Asian Christians until the coming of the European missionaries. They annihilated various Christian communities through extensive taxation or outright murder. And the final end came at the hands of Timur, who targetted everyone but was especially brutal with the existing Christian communities across Iran, Central Asia, Georgia and Armenia - the last 2 barely made it out alive from his slaughter. This would remain the state of the Christians of the East, until European missionaries went out to Korea, Japan, China and Philippines and a new period of Asian Christianity dawned. But here too lies a story of what may be the eventual fate of this current period - Pyongyang was once known as the Rome of the Orient, due to the high prevalence of Christianity and the number of churches in that city. Today, it would be shocking to even think of the city in that light.

And the roman empire didnt have control over the middle east as the parthians were always pushing on the border so any expansion eastward was impossible. Then islam.

I mean, sure Rome helped but remember that by the time Rome fell, everything north of the alps and pyrannees was conquered by Pagan Franks and Angles. I think it is more the lack of similarly organized religions while Asia had several from Zoroastrianism, Islam, the Dharmic and the Chinese religions.

@@ikengaspirit3063 well no, the thing is the germanic people's were quite tollerant of different religions and soon converted. So that makes no difference, they also had a good reason to keep christianity around.

It's no surprise spanish missionaries created entire formal grammatical and orthographic books for Nahuatl, Quechua and Mayan languages before other europeans like the english or dutch created those kind of literary works for their own languages. That's also why (compared to other european colonial powers) there aren't too much pidgins or creole languages in current or former spanish-speaking territories derived from spanish, the missionaries really made an effort to make the natives bilingual, As of now, I can only think of 2 spanish-based creoles including Chavacano and its variants, while french, portuguese and english have several.

This is a more plausible claim than what was narrated in the video. In addition to the apparent genocidal ravages of the Mongolian empire under Timur

The Crusaders absolutely did not impact the Eastern Christians like you claim. It was the conversion of the Turkic tribes to Islam that began the downfall of their communities. They aggressively targeted Christian communities across the Middle East and Byzantium and it is precisely these attacks that literally birthed the concept of the Crusades itself in Europe. But the final nail in the coffin came with the Mongols, who at first were on good terms with the Christians but once they converted to Islam, became like the Turks previously, a major thorn in the Christian communities. Timur pretty much put an end to most of the ancient Christian communities and greatly reduced the Armenian and Georgian Christian presence in the Levant and various centers of what once the areas of the Islamic Golden Age.

​@@GZamzung??? What the video stated was factual and logical, what are you on about? The gentleman simply mentioned the reasons behind the decline of Christianity in the Middle East

​@@savioblanc you're seriously defending the crusaders? The same people behind god knows how many genocides committed against Christians? That's sad to see

​ @williamrobert9898 away from the logic, why the claims of this video cant be taken seriously is because it failed to recognize/acknowledge the Mongolian imperialist impact on traditional Christian communities of the Near East. The Mongolians massacred close to 75% of the Assyrian populace which were overwhelming Christian. Up until the 13th Century, Christianity was the majority religion of the peoples of the Near East and the Assyrians were the major missionaries. Places like Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Western China had strong Christian imprints before they were wiped off by the Mongolians. Now imagine if these never happened. Of course, Buddhism and Hinduism would still hold their significance in the Indian Subcontinent far East, but then, Christianity would also be a significant force to be reckoned with. Not also forgetting the Ottoman genocide of Assyrian, Greek, Armenians and Syriacs. In all, the video projected Christianity in Asia as Western missionary initiative and conveniently ignoring Asian efforts which sadly we can't see today because of the Timurid led massacres.

agreed, the vikings and the rus did so to have better trade relations, even the slavs and bulgarians, even hungary and so on

Islam actually spread to Indonesia through violence. Most people don't know about it.

Make sense. Even today many Japan(and many other countries) adopting 'western things' more or less for business, trading and technology.

Nah, they shifted their faith due to inhumane treatment they received at the hands of majority.

@@apoorvbhatnagar9774 I know. I was asking that to the other guy who was peddling some non-sense and I don't like Christianity.

There's a concept called survival of the fittest, maybe you suck. Cheistianity is still the largest religion.

​@@magatism Then your religion is not a religion of love rather than a cult whipping for conversions. 🤡

​​@@arjyachatterjee6874 Also, central asians and other turkic tribes were not forced to become muslims, their rulers just accepted it and converted their own people, the only countries where arabs did spread islam by themselves are the countries that speak arabic today, except the persian countries who retain their language and spain (if you wanna count it) Thus, comparing islam to christianity, which wiped out both americas' indigenous population as well as australia, is not accurate

Is that the guy who started a civil war and claimed he was jesus reincarnated ? Or is that another guy

⁠​⁠@@DoN-xh3pdI think your talking about Hong Xiuquan who started the Taiping rebellion

@@StephaneTheard yep that’s the guy

True, the only real way to destroy a religion would be through conversion......Or, a more Violent approach, which is not welcome in our modern world for good reason. This is why Islam has stopped growing as an example. Had the Western Powers not become so powerful Islamic Empires would've continued their conquests.

Religion as the human need for metaphysical transcendent values will never die. But traditional religion may die and assume newer forms, mainly political forms, as the leftist woke religion in western societies

​@@Joao-id4dnIslam will be dominant religion in west in the days coming to!

in india, missionaries comes to home with jesus with muliple hands and wearing swastika, lotus and om symbols and give money to convert poor people. this conversion can only last till money last. they give 1 bag of rice to poor people and and do cringe superstitious rituals in front of poor people like treating some disease. missionaries have become joke now

@@tyronic3497cared enough to comment apparently 😂

Men were killed, women were raped, libraries were burnt, temples and other centres of learning destroyed. A tax on not being a Muslim. But Islam is a religion of peace.

@@tyronic3497 I learnt more from his single comment than I ever did reading your Quran. I hope he leaves 50 comments so that people can learn about the forced conversion of Persia

It’s not as simple. The largest Muslim nation today - Indonesia - did not become Muslim through conquest. It was a gradual process of the natives willingly converting through centuries. It was introduced by traders. A similar process happened in China, and Phillipines.

不，因为我们的教义和基督教完全相反，我们不相信任何神灵。

Read about the leyenda negro. Catholic Spain was the good guy, not a “colonizer” but a nation seeking to build under one roof of Christ, to prevent the subversice tactics of jews from gaining global domination. Jews were still new, as they were called Phoenicians or Ugarites during early Roman times. There are 2 types of empires models in their expansion: Generative: They incorporate those societies they come into contact with through cultural affinity. Cultures mix, and for example, a Roman emperor could be one even if they were not born on the Italian peninsula. Predatory (example: colonies). They do not establish viceroyalties but make agreements with local oligarchs to extract resources. Catholic Spain was the descendant of Rome under Christ. The south american atrocities commited under the flag of Spain was actually all New Christians. new Christians were crypto jewish conquistadors that destroyed the Incas with toxic blankets and the Aztecs too. Look for hernan cortes’s jews. Cartagena de Indias literally means New Carthage of the Indies. Carthage was destroyed by Rome which manumitted the berber slaves. This is why they are called Amazigh meaning Free People. Please search for yourself to confirm.

Because those idiots practiced human sacrifice and other evil things.

not true

Spain just retake their land from occupiers

@@holyleague8286 So if native Americans forced European and African American on their religion , is this acceptable ? Muslims (Arabs , Berbers , even Spanish) , Jews , and Christians where living together , once Christianity got controlled , they start killing , torturing them (The Reconquista) On the other hand Muslims were in control of many many area where there are Jews , Christians .. etc , they never forced them to be Muslims

Also brits, french, Germans etc.

Also, there were aspects of Christianity which resembled the traditional religions.

İranians cousins of europeans?

@@baruchdeger9534 yes since they are indo european and the persian language is related to most european languages (indo european languages). Today kurds also belong to the indo europeans. Turks are turkic and arabs and jews are semetic

But ı think Indians non cousin of europeans becauce their genetics diffrence

@baruchdeger9534 yes Indians are definitely genetically different than Europeans. Today, a Turk or even an Arab has more European dna than an average Indian eventhow historicaly they have different origins( turks from Central Asia and Arabs from the Semitic peoples in Arabia and Levant) There were just more contact through the Reconquista in Spain, the Christian crussades or all the Balkan Muslims going to Turkey and other neighboring countries after the ottoman empire. India is very secluded

Christianity came through sword and still the native religions of India tolerate the Christians living today in the country. Some people never change. But then the concept of live and let live is opposed to Christianity and Islam.

Because of Hinduism and Buddhism,confusciousnism they talked about peace not wars in the name of religion😂

@sakshigupta8603 Protestant & Catholic are colonial ambition, nothing to do with Orthodox Christianity

He completely glossed over it. Ignorance about Christianity in India is oretty common

Why? Who cares

@@darkjudge8786 me and many other people

I was a little disappointed that the St Thomas Christians were glossed over, especially since they probably have a longer history than the Eastern nestorians, and unlike the latter, are still active till this day.

@@teejayman215 Ignorance about India as a whole is very common.

Yeah these europeans

@@athinghere Inquisitions and conversions,...from the Aztec and Mayans in Latin America, to Hawaii, Micronesia and the Philippines. Local traditions, ancient religions and cultures have all been replaced with Christianity. In Europe, Celtic culture, for example.

@@elC1d774 Cultures like sacrificing babies. How sad.

"there weren't much missionaries there to spread Christianity" Okay, this part is wrong. There were Christian missionaries but spread by the church not the state (Even in Eastern Rome and the West, missionaries were sent by the church not the state but there was at least some ultimate state backing), Christians even translated more of their texts into Chinese earlier than the Buddhists. (Getting this from the lost history of Christianity book).

@@ikengaspirit3063 I didn't say there weren't missionaries. In fact, Christianity reached the Indian subcontinent and even China during this early Christianity period

So Christianity is seen as something superficial over there for the most part (theres a very small believer population) because their Shinto faith is too integrated and iconic of their people, more so than any other religion. Making Christianity the main faith would be akin to betraying the nation

Angra Mainyu

Whole culture and religion of Asia is impacted by india and China alone Buddhism and hi duism😊

​@@Vayu_Aksh not china india and sri lanka

Very true!

But he did since his mother used Jesus cross to ressurect a dude and this is how he knew that Christianity was legit

Soon after the fall of Rome, the West came to be ruled by Pagans(Angles, Franks) and Unitarian Monotheists(Spain, Italy, Africa) and before that, Christianity was the official religion for less than a century, during a time of crisis. For comparison, Buddhism was the state religion of India for 2 centuries under the Mauryas, even through a period of golden age but that after the Mauryas vanished, Buddhism was slowly undone by Hinduism.

@@alechboy3578 It was a beautiful and well-known story but it was not necessarily true. Helena could recognize the cross of Jesus by simply reading the tablet on that cross.

Not exactly. In practice, the difference between Indian Mahatana Buddhism and the Bhakti Vaishnavism which replaced it was so little that there was no mass conversion or anything of the sort. The main thing which changed was the big Buddhist monasteries/Universities which created the educated Buddhist priest class which maintained the "Buddhist" Identity were destroyed by the Delhi Sultanate in their conquest of Bengal

A false story without any proof
