Answer 1

Don't believe everything you read...........

Answer 2

I'm amused by the one that said they came AFTER Jesus.... that was funny.

Some Christians did answer you... er... responded might be more accurate.

I'm personally a fan of Isis and Osiris.

Christians aren't taught that the slain savior myth is much older than Jesus. Perhaps the elders believe that they just wouldn't understand, or that it might cause them to question their faith. How does one respond when they find that the story of their faith was told for centuries before their faith existed?

In the end though, it doesn't really matter. Faith is a personal choice (unlike sexuality), and people have a right to believe whatever they wish. They can choose to do so in ignorance, following which ever preachers they think looks nice or speaks well or has the nicest church or whatever. They can choose also to investigate their own faith, reading all the comentaries and best selling authors.

Too,they can investigate the history of their faith; understand the reasons why they became what they were, the schisms, the creeds, the councils, etc.

Then, they might wish to study the religions of the world; old and new. Find out where their faith really fits; what might be right or wrong with their and other beliefs. They might become truly informed and stand on their faith or modify it based on what they learn.

In any case, it's a person's right to believe the way they do, to learn or ignore what they want, and to take seriously, or not, any questions asked here.

You can bring up the points you want, but expecting anyone to change because of them is like spitting into the wind. It might just come back in your face.

Answer 3

Zoroaster wasn't on the list, but I'll let it go. After all, you're quoting someone else's research, not your own.

I'm familiar with most of the stories you cited, but let's break it down.

Jesus claimed to be both God and a Physical manifestation of God. He based his authority on documents written before he was born. He also fulfilled specific prophecies (some of which he could not have intentionally done) such as being born in Bethlehem and being of a complete Davidian lineage. He also prophesied the destruction of the Temple, for which he was not present.

He is the only Messianic figure to ALLOW himself to be crucified with an altruistic motive (in other words, he did not profit at all from getting nailed to a cross). He is the only crucified figure that claimed to do so for the salvation of humans. Dionysus went straight to heaven....Jesus didn't.

He is also the only contemporary victim of crucifixion that developed a following that spread beyond a small, localized group of people. he is also the only victim of crucifixion whose followers would willingly accept the same or worse fate rather than deny his existence.

Futhermore, He is the most famous victim of crucifixion in the world. This fact alone indicates that whatever happened around 30A.D. was so significant in history that no one since that time has felt that any other crucified figure comes close in significance.

Answer 4

these were never real humans. they were idols, gods, paganists. there stories are the fairy tale ones. No human can rise from the dead (death in ancient days was considered after 3 days of lying in a tomb). Isaac rose to Heaven by chariot by God's hand. But he didn't ascend. Only Jesus ascended, on His own accord.

I just did a reading about Dinoysus. In my Bible study group we were to research our names for meanings and history. My middle name is Denise. It is the female version of Dennis, which is derived from Dinoysus. He wasn't a human being, only an idol god who paganists made up.

you need to look at the resources of the info that you are reading. A pagan will write these things. And only a pagan will believe it.

Answer 5

There were a few people who were risin from the dead in the bible.

John 11:33-57

When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come along with her also weeping he was deeply moved in spirit and troubled.
"Where have you laid him?" he asked.
"Come and see, Lord," They replied
Jesus wept
Then the Jews said, "See how he loved him!"
But some of them said, "Could not he who opened the eyes of the blind man have kept this man from dying?"
Jesus, once more deeply moved, came to the tomb. It was a cave with a stone laid across the entrance. "Take away the stone," He said.
"But, Lord," said Marth, the sister of the dead man, "by this time there is a bad odor, for he has been there four days."
Then Jesus said, "Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?"
So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up and said, "Father, I thank you that you have heard me. I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here, that they may believe that you sent me."
When he had said this, Jesus called in a loudvoice, "Lazarus, come out!" The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen and cloth around his face
Jesus said to them, "Take off the grave clothes and let him go."

The second a little girl;
Matthew 9:18-26

While he was saying this, a ruler came and knelt efore him and said, "My daughter has just died. But come and put your hand on her, and she will live." Jesus got up and went with him, and so did his disciples.
Just then a woman who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak. She said to herself "If I only touch his cloak, I will be healed."
Jesus turned and saw her. "Take heart, daughter," he said, "your faith has healed you." And the woman was healed from that moment.
When Jesus entered the ruler's house and saw the flute players and the noisy crowd, he said "Go away, The girl is not dead but asleep." But they laughed at him. After the crowd hasd been put outside, he went in and took the girl by the hand, and she got up. News of this spread through all that region.


And third a dead man
Luke 7:11-17

Soon afterward, Jesus went to a town called Nain, and his disciples and a large crowd went along with him. As he approached the town gate, a dead person was being carried out - the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the town was with her. When the Lord saw her, his heart went out to her and he said "Don't cry."
Then he went up and touched the coffin, and those carrying it stood still. He said, "Young man, I say to you, get up!" The dead man sat up and began to talk, and Jesus gave him back to his mother
They were all filled with awe and praised God. "A great prophet has appeared among us," they said. "God has come to help his peoplel." This news about Jesus spread throughout Judea and the surrounding country.

So the only people who ever rose from the dead were Jesus, Lazurus, a little girl, and a man. No mention of any of the names you mentioned anywhere.

Good luck with your search though. I hope you come across the something you find truthfull. God Bless!

Answer 6

Alot of people were crusified in that time, including 2 people with Jesus - one was a common thief - did that make him a God , too?

Answer 7

Gee - for some reason I have heard of none of them before.. have you? Has ANYONE but a small minority heard of them before?

Why not? Because they are myth. Not flesh and blood.

It's like me saying: well there were OTHER presidents of the USA at the time JFK was alive - haven't you heard about foswa, booret or carven? See - therefore JFK was a fake too and didn't exist.

Answer 8

dinoysus is a proven myth. Jesus Christ is a proven historical fact by historians Big difference.

Answer 9

"Alot of people were crusified in that time, including 2 people with Jesus - one was a common thief - did that make him a God , too?" [spelling was in the original]

Just as much as the other two....

Answer 10

Answer 11

List the time periods when they happened.
