Actually, LJ is most likely correct. There is a body of evidence suggesting not only that Thomas visited India early on but that Hinduism contains doctrines which reflect and early Christian influence

There is also an excellent article detailing the evolution of Hinduism that accounts for the influence of Christian theology, but at the moment I am unable to locate it. As time permits, if I find it I will come back here and post it.

Peace,

Thank you.

Although I would posit that since the Vedas - Hindu scripture - predate Christianity, it is likely the other way around!
