quote:
You may want to watch it again, btw, do you know why the Jesus birth was portrayed in December?
Yes. Romans celebrated Saturnalia in December which was their most popular holiday. Around the 3rd or 4th century as Christianity became accepted, Romans chose December as a way to observe Christ's birth so that they could still keep their popular winter holiday.
So Christianity was already a few hundred years old before December was attributed to Christ's birth and it had nothing to do with when He was actually born. Therefore the attempted connection between an Egyptian god and Jesus based on a December birthday doesn't fit.
Think about it. If Jesus is really just a re-telling of an Egyptian god, what is the motive behind it? Why would a group of Jews risk death to copy a god worshiped by those who enslaved them for centuries? It makes no sense.
To believe that Jesus is just an Egyptian god story, then one has to address the motivation for it. It's high risk with zero reward.
The narrator is polite, although she is simply trying to sell books. There is more evidence that shows Jesus was a real historical person than that it's a copied story. As I've said, it's simply a matter of what one chooses to believe.
