Answer 1

Yes, the bible is a collaboration of old myths from thousands of years prior to "jesus" ...

What is incredible is millions of people are suckered in to this bible thing... hailing jesus (and if he did exist and you called him "jesus" he'd give you a blank look! Hey the names "yashua" who the hell is jesus? ) Man, if it said the easter bunny is the daughter of moses... then they'd believe it. Total insanity.

All religions are clearly based on myths (god/allah does not have a holy fax machine) It is insane that every religious person think *their* god is the real one ... and that they are right and everyone else in wrong and damned to their imaginary hell as described in a an alleged 'holy' book written by a MAN !

Truly a world gone mad ....

Peace

Answer 2

Not Greek, not a theory, not an outcome of a young Hebrews teaching to his own people. The teaching which influenced the Romans and Greeks was that of St. Paul.

The myth you speak of is a response to the Genesis prophecy of a woman's seed (a son). That response came first through Nimis out of Babylon and was picked up by the Romans and Greeks and continues today in the deification of women.

The "past god's" of myth were invoked to confuse the master plan down to the present generation. The counter plan is working very well. The names of Christ are important, but were fixed from eternity if you can understand that..

Answer 4

That belief was prominent in Egypt... all of the Pharoah's claimed to be the Son of God (their God anyway). So did all of the Emporers of Rome. Jesus' teachings were no different than what was handed down in the societies before his. His name was Never written in Hebrew... Yahshua is a guess as far as that is concerned. And "Jesus" is not Greek... it's English. Iesous is Greek and was once the name given to another "Son of God"... one of Zeus' sons. Even the Bible points out that many people during that time were claiming the same thing. And contemporary writers provide evidence of that. "Cults" were springing up everywhere in Rome during that time. And, unlike what many people would have others to believe, Christianity was not unique (several Church Fathers writings will attest to this) and they were not singled out for persecution. The Jews were singled out.

Answer 5

If you don't believe that Jesus was the Son of God, think about this: after His death on the cross, His apostles were in hiding, fearful for their lives. They only assumed that they would be the next to be persecuted by the Romans. Then three days later this group of people suddenly when from cowering in the corner to boldly proclaiming the deity of Christ, of which many lost their lives for. Now maybe it's just me, but I sure wouldn't die for something that I KNEW was untrue. These men preferred to be fed to lions or crucified upside down on a cross rather than denounce that Jesus was God. Would you do that for a lie?

Answer 6

Good to see you're thinking, but I suspect it goes back way
before Greek civilization.
As far as mythology, a friend told me his beliefs were true, and
the beliefs of the Greeks and Romans were myth.
The greeks and Romans said the gods came down and had
sex with women, and guys like Hercules were born.
Genesis says the sons of god came down, had sex with women, and mighty men were born.
So I ask him, what's the difference? Either they're both true, or
both myth?
Did you know Scripture mentions unicorns and satyrs in
Isaiah, KJV, 30s or 40s chapters, around there?

Answer 7

This prophecy of Jesus was foretold before there was even any Greek nation. It was foretold by Daniel for example who was in the Babylonian kingdom years before there were any people called Greeks and their religion. You can read it in Daniel 9. Also you can see the outline of earths history in Daniel 2 relating to the rise an fall of the kingdoms of the earth that was foretold long before it happened and they happened exactly as how Daniel said it would.

Answer 8

The son of God is not a theory, but fact. Mythology is the study of myths. They are not the same. Jesus is real and true and the only way to heaven.

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Answer 9

I think that Ryan got it right. No one was ever willing to be tortured to death for his story that he saw Hercules return from the dead.

If the Apostles were lying about seeing Jesus return from the dead, then it seems that they would recant their story in order to save their own life. Fame and power are of little use to a dead man.

Answer 10

I'm sorry, your a liar. There is no evidence backing your statement.

Archeololgy the past year on the other hand has proven the bible correct over 2,500+ times.
