Did Judaism,Christianity and Islam religions originate from the Egyptian Mysteries?

Answer 1

also from greek and roman mythology

Answer 2

This answer only addresses Christianity...

Ancient paganism was as much the precurser of Christianity as was Judaism. Christianity incorporated all of the essential elements of the ancient Mysteries. The ancient Mysteries were based on the idea that freedom can only come to those who are capable of governing themselves, self-government can only come through moral virtue, moral virtue can only come from a firm conviction of the immortality of the soul, and a firm conviction of the immortality of the soul can only come from proofs that are "lived" by the individual through initiation. These proofs included the course of the sun through the solar year, the rebirth of trees in spring, the birth of a seed from a dying plant, and the transmission of life through procreation. Christianity incorporated the course of the sun through the Christian calendar, the four corners of the zodiac as represented by the four angels around the throne of God, the birth of Christ on the winter Solstice, the resurrection of Christ on the vernal equinox, the triumph of the apostles on the summer solstice, the dormition of the virgin Mary on the autumnal equinox, etc. They incoporated the rebirth of trees in the celebration of the Eucharist, which replaced the miracle of Dionysus with the symbolic Blood of Christ. They represented the new life of a seed generated from the death of the parent plant in the bread of the Eucharist, which was emblematic of the body of Christ. The transmission of life through procreation was represented in the concept of the Church as the Bride of Christ.

Like the ancient Mysteries, the early Christian Church was open only to initiates, and new members were sworn to secrecy. Conversion to Christianity was difficult, and required a long period of catechesis. Sermons directed to the majority were stripped of the most profound Mysteries, and included only the lesser doctrines of the faith.

The Apostle Paul calls the Christian Faith a "Mystery" over 30 times in the New Testament. He also speaks of the gnosis that made up the Greater Mysteries of Eleusis: that all gods are God. While people tend to characterize Christianity as an exclusive religion, the Apostle Paul argues that there are no other divine beings but God, that all religions worship the same God (albeit in more or less proper forms), and that there is no distinction between Jew and Pagan in the Christian Mysteries. He also follows the Mysteries in insisting that purity of conduct is essential to participation.

By the way, I am a Christian. But I practice traditional, conservative Christianity as the successor to the ancient Mysteries.

I know this is an 800-page challenge, but you should read Pike's Morals and Dogma. It is the best resource that I know for this topic.

Answer 3

Well, Judiasm and Christianity were definitely INFLUENCED by Egyptian Mystery cults. there is no denying that, but you can't say that they originated there.

Moses, for instance, as a member of the royal family, would have been initiated into the pharotic cult or Ra.

However, the religions are distinctly different from any mystery cult.

Answer 4

Good question. Like with other "ancient" religions, the actual origins of Islam are not clear and even though most Muslims believe that Mohammed was a real person, the evidence is just as sparse as that that suggests that Jesus was a real person. What is evidently clear is that there is no rational reason to suspect that a god might be real and until there is something that remotely suggests that a god might be real, it is rather pointless to speculate on Mohammed's or Jesus' existence.

Answer 5

If you ask a believer in any of these faiths the answer is no. Each of these religions came down from God by His messenger as a religion for human beings. The Egyptian mysteries have nothing to do with these religions unless after years, ignorant people started incorporating them in their religion.

Answer 6

I'd have to say, definitely

but where did the Egyptian mysteries come from?

possibly the Dream Time and Toltecs

the further back you go, just like using a microscope, you keep finding more and more

infinitely

Answer 7

judaism beated the egyptionas. egyptians declined the judaism. i do not see jews, christians, or muslims wear the funny clothes that egyptions wear. or doing Embalming. The pyramids witness the Defeat of the ancient stone-slave egyptians.

Answer 8

Is this a joke or what ??!!

Islam was embraced by Adam (PBUH) the first human being to be on Earth.

Revise history before spreading false accusations.

Answer 9

There's a reason why they are called Abrahamic religions. So, no.
