#20 on the list.

 

20. Christianity borrowed its central myths and ceremonies from other ancient religions. The ancient world was rife with tales of virgin births, miracle-working saviors, tripartite gods, gods taking human form, gods arising from the dead, heavens and hells, and days of judgment. In addition to the myths, many of the ceremonies of ancient religions also match those of that syncretic latecomer, Christianity. To cite but one example (there are many others), consider Mithraism, a Persian religion predating Christianity by centuries. Mithra, the savior of the Mithraic religion and a god who took human form, was born of a virgin; he belonged to the holy trinity and was a link between heaven and Earth; and he ascended into heaven after his death. His followers believed in heaven and hell, looked forward to a day of judgment, and referred to Mithra as "the Light of the World." They also practiced baptism (for purification purposes) and ritual cannibalism—the eating of bread and the drinking of wine to symbolize the eating and drinking of the god’s body and blood. Given all this, Mithra’s birthday should come as no surprise: December 25th; this event was, of course, celebrated by Mithra’s followers at midnight.

No, the religions of the world borrowed their beliefs from Jesus. Man started out with the truth and corrupted it. When Christ came, he came to restore all things.Act 3:21

So,,,What are you going to do about it???

I've already done it.  I've shown that the Jesus Myth is just one of several godmen myths of ancient times.  To believe in such, in light of current knowledge, is simply silly.

Ex, Ex, Ex, my dear sir.  You are wrong.  You do realize, for example, that the Adam and Eve story was old to the Babylonians who lent it to the captive Jews who wrote the books predating the Septuagint, including Genesis?  You cannot say that the myth of Horus, written on the walls of Egyptian edifices and extant today, written  hundreds or thousands of years before Jesus was derivative of Christianity.  Sir, I beg you to reconsider.

 

A careful, honest history of the Bible belies your statement after several fashions.

Hi Jennifer,

 

Jesus has been spoken of in the Bible since God addressed Satan, i.e, the serpent, in Genesis 3:15, "And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her seed; He shall bruise you on the head, And you shall bruise him on the heel."

 

Can you think of any world religions that were around before that.   I believe you will find that all world religions have their foundation starting in and described in Genesis 11, Babel and Nimrod's tower to heaven.  And, from this religious distortion seed -- all world religions grew.

 

God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,

Now, here is a chart that was created by someone ignorant of history and with an active imagination.

Multiple times.

What have you been smoking to believe this lie?

Not a lie, it's very simple. I'll prove it to you.

 

Show me historical evidence that crucifixion was part of the Horus mythology.

 Deep,

 Yoyu should get out more and expand your horizons with good reading material, and I'm not talking about Dawkins or his ilk.

Ah, yes, the "American and European Secret Political Societies" and the  "International Banking Elite," those minions of the Satanic Illuminati who covertly foregather in dark corners in Amsterdam and Hong Kong and pull the strings of all of the nations to achieve their nefarious dominion over all worldly wealth and commerce! H O R R O R S!  Surely these gnarly, scheming

gnomes are in league with the Antichrist! 

I guess it could be interesting. In the same way a list of reasons why the moon landing was faked on a Hollywood set could be interesting.

 

Not historically accurate in any way, but interesting enough to generate conversation.

 

I checked the link, lots of errors there too. To save time, I'll just point out that Jesus was not convicted and executed for assault as the site claims. One of many errors I spotted just by glancing. That doesn't speak well for it's credibility.

 

The myth that Jesus is a re-telling of Horus is simply that, an internet myth. Independent comparison of both easily reveals the flaws in the claim.

Hi Info,

 

It is taken from the book "En Route To Global Occupation" subtitled "A High Ranking Government Liason Exposes The Secret Agenda For World Unification."  It was written by Gary H. Kah and published in 1992 by Huntington House Publishers.

 

The chart is found on page 94 and is captioned "History Of Occultism And One-World Movement."

 

This is really a very enlightening book.   The book contains this note and tells us of Gary Kah:

 

Because of his background in government, Gary Kah was invited to join the WCPA (World Constitution and Parliament Association), overseeing the planning and implementation of the one world government.  For the skeptical observer, the material in this book "should serve as ample evidence that the drive to create a one world government is for real," including reproductions of the original WCPA documents.

 

The author further demonstrates that there is an ominous cooperation between the globalists, who are promoting the one world government, and the burgeoning New Age groups, who are promoting a new religion.  If our countrymen do not begin to resist this global movement, sovereign nations will cease to exist and a single global economic system will be established.

 

Mind you, this book was published in 1992.  Does anyone else hear the ringing of the United Nations bell, and Obama's meek obedience to his UN masters, in this statement from the book?  "If our countrymen do not begin to resist this global movement, sovereign nations will cease to exist and a single global economic system will be established."

 

God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,

 

Bill

Easy.

 

There is plenty of evidence debunking it. All that is required is a bit of skepticism and a few minutes of research.

 

A little reading about the Egyptian god Horus and you'll see the two stories don't really match up. Just an internet myth.

 

 

 

There is a difference in passing something off and researching something.

 

I looked up and read about Horus from several different sources. No mention of him being born to a virgin, crucified, having disciples, or any of that.

 

In fact, the story of Horus is completely different from the account given of Jesus.

 

The only book I know of concerning the myth is by Acharya S who has pretty much been dismissed as completely historically inaccurate by professional scholars. There are a few other sources, but when you check their citations you'll see that they are citing each other. 

 

Here is a link to someone who is not a Christian, but simply a skeptic. He put the myth to the test in the same way I did and it failed. It's pretty easy to debunk for yourself, but he did all the work for you.

 

http://stupidevil*******.com/2...g_the_myth_of_horus/

 

If you choose to accept the comparison on faith, that's your choice. If you are a skeptic and want to know the truth, then it's easy to find that the comparison is pretty silly.
