Jesus never existed.?

Question

Apollonius of Tyana had studied about Lord Krishna in the Himalayas and then he returned and introduced these teachings to the Essenes, who became the first "Chrishn-ins", later Christians. The writings of Apollonius were re-written and plagiarized by Roman churchmen at the Council of Nicea three centuries later. In the fourth century, A.D., Hierocles accused the Christian priesthood of this plagiary and of INVENTING a messiah by combining the name of the sun god, Iesus, with the name Chrishna, which had become corrupted to Christ by that time.

For example, in the birth story of both Lord Krishna and Jesus, the king ordered the death of all newborn male children. Both grew up as shepards, or cowherd boys.

The story of Jesus was plagurized from the story of Krishna.

I humbly request that all of the Christians out there study and compare the life of Krishna and Jesus, at the website below.

Answer 1

You'll find similarities to the Jesus story in the stories of Mithras, Horus and several other myths. Also, if you check out a book called "Jesus and Buddha: The Parallel Sayings", you'll find that a LOT of Jesus's teachings are the same as what's written in Buddhist teachings- sometimes almost word for word, and Buddhism predates Christianity by 500 years.

There is nothing new under the sun.

Answer 2

I wouldn't call Christianity a plagiarism of other religions. There are so many others that feature salvation through a dying and rising god. They're often called the mystery religions. Other gods that have the same myths are Apollo, Dionysus, Mithras, Pythagoras, and even Yahweh (though, this last one isn't certain, but there are hints of it in the Psalms).

As far as your assertion that Apollonius of Tyana brought Krishna and so on, I'd like to see your research. That sounds very strained to me; not that you're wrong, but I'd like to hear some actual evidence, such as proof that Apollonius went to the east, or that he specifically mentioned Krishna somewhere.

One major problem is that Christ is not a name, it's a title, and one not specific to Christianity. And Jesus didn't grow up as a shepherd. We don't actually know how he grew up; the bible doesn't say anything about it. At most, we can assume he was a carpenter, like his father, if he even existed at all. And the king ordering the death of all newborn males doesn't come from the story of Lord Krishna, it comes from the book of Exodus. The story was "borrowed" from the birth narrative of Moses, who was placed in a raft because the king ordered the death of all newborn males.

I would say that the Jesus myth came about from something that was in the air at the time. An example: often, clusters of very similar movies all come about at the same time - some are borrowed, but, more often then not, they came about totally separate from each other. There was a need in the society at the time for a religion like that and many sprung up to fill that void.

Answer 3

Right, now supposedly this guys name was Jesus who was a jew who hung out in Jarusalem. So the fact that there is no "J" or even a j sound in the language of those people says that there are a lot of things wrong with the copies we have access to today. These people should study yes but dont just read a book; study the words in it as well.
jesus = son of zeus, yahshua = son of yaweh,
Jew = "nothing", Yahdai = people of yaweh
jarusalem = "nothing", Yerusalom = city of peace
etc.

Answer 4

Which sounds like Moses, too. Honestly, rather than complaining about plagerism, wouldn't it be more productive and enlightened to share the similarities and rejoice in them. When are the folks of Earth going to realize that most of the earth religions have a common core and everything else is a regional and cultural difference? Every religion preaches right action (often summed up as the golden rule), connection to something greater, and affecting your life by meditation and prayer. We all want to say there is a God but you cannot possibly know him by another name. How many of us are known by many names in our day to day life. Come on folks - isn't there a better way to present this information and a more interesting way to honor human spirituality?

Peace!

Answer 5

I have read this book that had scholars arguing if jesus and krishna were the same people. I am not knowledgable to what you are trying to explain, so pardon me if that upsets you, but jesus did exist. There is no doubt about that. And the christians are correct of who he is simply for that is the path he reaped and on the simple premise of "it exists and functions". If one claims to be god in this life, then more than likely GOD would not let what you follow change for eternity. But if one analyses the actions of christians compared to those of hare krishnas, one group is "obviously" more righteous than the other. I am no christian,but one must aknowledge if someone says this and that and it functions for more than 1/5 of the world's population, then he must have existed. Just common sense. I just don't think he is who many claim him to be. And they have that same argue amongst thier own community.

BTW, I believe in vishnu. But he is not my GOD. Though his name speaks volumes of his spirituality. Supreme reality. PEACE!

Answer 6

Lord Krishna I believe to be Jesus.History has documented evidence of the existence of Jesus

Answer 7

christ is a word in greek though... and if you were going to blam christians from plagerizing someone i doubt it would be hindus but the roman mithrians... and Jesus wasn't a shepheard, and the king historical ordered death to new born children, and i don't care to read your myths... and everyone knows Jesus hitorically existed.
