Born to a Virgin
Had twelve disciples
Travelled as a teacher and illuminator of men
Known as saviour and lamb of god
Part of a Holy Trinity
Performed baptisms
Had a "last supper" with his followers
Was crucified
Atoned mankind through sacrifice
Was buried in a tomb from which he rose again from the dead before ascending to heaven
Sound like your saviour?
Sorry, I was describing Mithras!
Mithras was long revered by the Persians and the Indians around 600 BCE, as "God's Messenger of Truth"
Notice any similarities to your lord? I mean if your lord was Dionysus, tammuz, adonis, hercules, robin hood, or even Jesus.
When asked about the similarities of Jesus to these other god's I've mentioned, the official church position is "the devil went back in time and planted these stories to tempt you"---Justin Martyr (1 Apologia, 66, 4)
Don't blindly follow what your preacher/family tells you. Read bible criticisms. Read outside the bible. Is your life not worth it?
