Answer 1

i agree completely and further more if you reach back a little into sumerian culture you will find jesus/horus is also balder in the sumerian culture.he comes neatly packaged with the same "immaculate conception" story and all that.

Answer 2

Egyptian writing, hierogliphics and myth all lend weight to the arguement that while Jesus and therefore Christianity is not purely of ancient descent it does have some origin in ancient Egypt. For example there is the Egyptain Pantheon of three Gods, Isis, Osiris and Horus, which is an early form of the trinity, while the God Seth is seen in Egyptian culture as what we would now describe as the devil. However where Christianity and the ancient teachings are different are their messages. Jesus is preaching a gospel of love, which is hugely radical and probably still is in todays world. The problem of course was hi-jacked by Rome and turned into a political weapon which it still is today. If the world was fair and we could all look at religion with objectivity and a little tolerance we could see that the Earth has and always will recognise how special humanity is, that there must be a reason for this and this reason must be some kind of higher power, whether it be Jesus, or Horus, they are mutually inclusive, they all point towards the divinity of the human condition.

Answer 3

I can't give evidence against what is said because any research shows that there is absolutely no first hand evidence for the existence of Jesus either during or after his supposed ministry. This is a well known fact and no amount of sophistry can disguise this fact. I still think it possible that Jesus did exist but the odds are heavily against it. WQhat seems more likely is that the figure of Jesus is an amalgam of various figures from the Greek pantheon - Dionysus being a major such figure. He was born in a stable on the 25 of December, his mother was a virgin, he was crucified on a tree and was resurrected, he performed miracles like turning water into wine.

Another tradition (The Fourth Way Gurdjieff school of esoteric Christianity) says that the original Christian religion originated many years before the time of the New Testament in Egypt - and that the stories of the New Testament and other traditions from this period point to an esoteric teaching that can only be truly understood if one has the right key. The Fourth Way teaching claims to have that key and I for one have been very impressed with the range and depth of the ideas the teaching expounds. It is worth looking into if you are a seeker for the truth. Personally I no longer think it necessary or possible to view Jesus as a real historical person - much less as the literal son of God - which was only codified into Christian doctrine following the Council of Nicaea - on the orders of the Emperor Constantine.

Answer 4

This is so impossible to answer.

The plain and simpel fact is that no religion is today what it was 10 years ago much less 1000 or 2000 years ago. The calendar we use today did not start on 1/1/00. It was counted backwards from some time period to give credence to the stories in the bible which is, in and of itself, a collection of stories from other religions.

There is at least one other instance of a religious story like Jesus but for the life of me I cannot remeber this person's name. They mentioned him in the show "Penn & Tellers BULLSHIT" during the "The Bible" episode.

If you want to get a real good idea of what religion is then I suggest you read it. You can see a great clip of it at the link below.

You have to understand that there were a significant number of religions, all around the world, both before and during the rise of christianity. To believe that only through christ can one make it to heaven is increadibly arrogant and self-serving and anyone telling you this is trying to sell you something.

Whether you real the New Testament or the Old, the Bible or the Torah, or any other religious scripture you must understand that all of these texts have gone through significant translations, editing and re-writings in order to have the stories give the meaning that the editor wanted.

Humanity has received absolutely nothing directly from this invisible person known as god. Even the 10 Commandments were shattered by Moses and he then re-wrote them.

Everything has been edited and re-written.

Answer 5

No.
Some aspects of Catholicism (Christianity) appear to parallel those in other (false) religions. Some do, on purpose. For instance, when the Catholics wanted to convert the Romans to the true religion, they found that it went better, if they didn't leave the pagan feast-days empty (people like to have something to celebrate), so, they replaced the feast-days with holy days--for instance: since the pagans feasted in honor of Saturnalius (God of Agriculture) on December 25, it was determined that that was a good feast-time for the holy birth of Christ to be celebrated.

The author (K. Humphreys) of the above-mentioned website has no credibility--He poo poos St. Matthew's account of the Flight from Egypt, simply because it's not mentioned in the other three gospels. There are many apparent contradictions in Holy Scripture, which stumble those who take it upon themselves to engage in personal interpretation. Peter 3:16 forbids such. (It's easy to see the results of personal interpretation--a zillion different "Christian" churches have formed, in the last 500 years.) Furthermore, something has only to be mentioned once, to be valid.

Answer 6

Rediculous. The Bible is evidence enough. It is interesting to note that catholicism wasn't devised until 324 years after Jesus died though. Council of Nicea.

Answer 7

No
He just travailed to Egypt for 2 years when he was 1 year old read the bible

Answer 8

Jesus existed and still exists today. It's not my opinion, it's fact. I don't have to give you proof because you will find out for yourself soon enough. I suggest reading the Bible, though. I hope and pray you wake up very soon. Jesus DID die for your sins, and does love you. He just wants you to accept Him as your Lord and Savior.

Answer 9

Since I've read a lot of bible scriptures, Jesus is not an Egyptian story.If it was, he wouldn't even be real!
