originated in ancient egypt. how does that make you feel about your faith? Kemet is the home of montheism, divine kingship, the promise of ressurection, the negative confessions( shortened to the ten commandments), immaculate conceptions, and the bible says that Jesus was crucified there and given an ancient egyptian burial.

I'm the last guy to defend the church, but... I will defend the truth.
There is nothing in the bible that says Jesus was crucified in Egypt, or given an "ancient egyptian burial".
Kemet is not the home of monotheism. Belief in the "mother goddess" predates written records by millenia. And oral tradition from Syria, northern India and elsewhere show she was worshipped as a sole deity.
Kemet is not the home of divine kingship. The belief in divine kingship existed at Nippur centuries earlier, and only reached Egypt through Shumer.
The promise of resurrection is also older than Kemet, with references to Dumuzi's (Tammuz) rebirth, and other similar stories in both Shumer and Akkad. One of the oldest of these deals with the Shumerian god Yah, and his son Jesu (those names sound at all familiar?)
The immaculate conception also predates all Egyptian civilization as the second stage of the mother goddess cult and the creation epic in Shumer (translated into the "Enuma Elish" of more "modern" mesopotamia).
If you're going to criticize the church, at least get your facts right. Some of them are bright enough to spot your inaccuracies, and use that to bolster their own beleifs.

What are you talking about? I found this info on "Kemet Orthodoxy" at www.kemet.org

Kemetic Orthodoxy is a modern practice of the religious tradition of Ancient Egypt (known to its own people as Kemet). This particular practice was founded by Her Holiness Hekatawy I (Tamara L. Siuda) in the late 1980s CE, and is called Kemetic Orthodoxy after the term Kemetic for "of Kemet," Kemet being the ancient name of Egypt; and Orthodox meaning "a sect conforming to established doctrine especially in religion."

Through the foundation of ancient thought and spiritual structure, devotees of Kemetic Orthodoxy follow the path their forebears first walked more than 4,000 years ago. Kemetic Orthodoxy is an African Traditional Religion and bears similarity to several other African and African Diaspora religions (such as the West African religions of the Yoruba, Akan, and Dahomeyan peoples and the Afro-Caribbean practices of Vodou, Candomble, and Santeria) as well some of the practices known from ancient northeastern Africa and the ancient Near East. Practicing Kemetic Orthodoxy requires a commitment to preserving the cultural heritage established in the past which Kemetic Orthodoxy continues to represent, even in places and times well removed from its original practice.

The Kemetic Orthodox faith, both in its modern and ancient practice, is a monolatrous religion. Monolatry is a different concept than monotheism, where it is believed God manifests in one form and one form only, nor is it an undifferentiated polytheism, where many gods appear in many separate and distinct forms. Monolatry is a special form of polytheism, having a multi-god structure still providing the possibility of understanding all divine beings as part of one divine source.

How does any of this have anything to do wth Biblical Christianity?

until you've deeply studied every last christian principle, your claim about "every christian principle" is rather spurrious.

that said God could have very easily dealt with the ancient egyptians and revealed things to them. I don't think any Christians believe that God didn't show up or deal with men until Abraham came around.

And to answer the question: it makes me feel great that God is not confined to work in a box that we create. He can work with ancient egyptians, with jews with arabs and with you too.

The Law of Moses was what held the Jews. It doesn't have to do with Egypt. I feel fine about my faith.

Don't forget that Father Abraham lived in Egypt for a time. He really influenced them.

Oh, thank you! I am so glad that such a learned Theologian dropped in to enlighten us all.

But seriously. . . get a grip. Just another atheist spewing his religious beliefs down the throats of Christians.

Actually, it originated with the Jews.

Zoroastrianism is actually the oldest monotheistic religion.

Zoroastrianism orginated in Persia.
