Hmm, VJR, Jesus wasn't wandering to steal ideas, but to follow his path of self-realization, which we all do. Everybody 'steals' ideas, because nothing is completely original. A Shishya 'steals' or better 'copies' the ideas of his Guru(s) and revitalizes it, sometimes adding something new to the previous tradition. The kernel is always, in my opinion, the same only for the package to differ. Then systems, thoughts, ideas, etc. are forgotten and floating beneath the surface to re-emerge again when the conditions are right. It's cyclical or better an anti-cyclical (waves) cycle. The same is happening in Hinduism. Many Vedic scientific achievements were lost in the post-Vedic (not to speak of pre-Vaivasvata Manu achievements). Now with the progression of science the Vedic concepts are re-emerging again, giving a model to modern science to compare with.
