Did Christianity copy teachings from ancient pagan religions?

Question

Some time ago I asked for a book that could REFUTE the fact that Chistianity copied its teachings from pagan religions. I'm asking this question again because the first time all the answers I had were to PROVE that Christianity was a fraud.
Again, I need a book that REFUTE those accusations against Christianity. There is none?

Answer 1

No. Evidence for Christianity by MacDowell

Answer 2

The only people who would deny that Christian's copied teachings from Paganisms are...Christian's themselves lol. Almost like a child being caught cheating. The bulk of Christianity is copied. The great flood, the savior story. Worshipping on SUNday? Sundisks above Saints heads. Nothing is original. But despite the overwhelming evidence to support this, Christians will still be blinded by faith, the same as has been done with Evolution, and the same that I fear will happen with the finding of the Tomb of Jesus.

Answer 3

There are not, as clear as the Christianity its all based on pagan traditions as it goes on the following examples.
1-the Egyptians had many gods, but the higher was the lamb, do for the Christians that say jesus the holy lamb of the sin, you know now where it came that.

2-they drink the blood and eat the body of a man, aint that disgusting.

3- The Hindus also believe that all the gods they have its the different manifestations of one, like the trinity.

And son on, off course it also has some things of the pure religions, like christianity, or the true Greek spirituality, but as it is filled with that much corruption i prefer the clean jewish life.

Answer 4

The radio show, "The Bible Answer Man with Hank Hanegraaff" deals with these kinds of questions all the time. Mr. Hanegraaff has written several books: our public library has 10 books of his.

Frankly, there is some truth to your underlying question because man has tried to make Christianity popular. I would put purgatory and the near worship of Mary in this category.

True Christianity has a number of deeply offensive aspects to it:
* we are ALL sinners
* we need a Savior
* the God who created us has the right to tell us how to live our lives
* this same God is holy and hates sin enough to send people to eternal condemnation

Answer 5

TRUE Christianity remains faithful to the word of God. Apostate Christianity is another matter. It has contaminated Christianity with pagan teachings such as the immortality of the human soul, although the Bible says at Ez. 18:4, 20 that the soul can die. The pagan trinity is taught as if it were a true Christian teaching, although Jesus never taught it to his disciples. The cross adorns church buildings, although the cross is a pagan symbol that predates Christianity by thousands of years. The churches celebrate pagan holidays like Easter, Christmas, and Halloween.

True Christians reject paganism, and they stay clear of anything that will corrupt the true teachings of Christ.

Answer 6

There is no such book. The proof that they did is written and verified. The flood story is from Gilgamesh. The savior story is from Mithra. Christmas is from the pagan traditions. The virgin Mary is from the godman Dionysus who was the Son of Zeus and the mortal Semele.

Answer 7

Yes, Christianity is mostly a stolen religion. Whatever they could borrow or steal to convert people, they did. Jesus is probably angry. Next time he shows up on the Southwest U.S.A. Pagan Community website, I will ask him. ;)

Answer 8

Not a one. Everything about Christmas, Easter, transubstantiation, that kind of stuff the "pagan" religions were all doing prior to being enveloped by Christianity, hell even alot of early Saints were really just gods that were worshipped and then integrated. If you find one, I'd like to read it!

Answer 9

no longer likely The time era could be defined widely, to embody the religion traditions outdoors the Abrahamic monotheistic group of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. the group so defined incorporates the Dharmic religions (including Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism), interior of sight American religions and mythologies and Shinto as nicely as non-Abrahamic ethnic religions customarily. greater slender definitions won't contain any of the worldwide religions and limit the time era to interior of sight or rural currents no longer prepared as civil religions. function of Pagan traditions is the absence of proselytism, and the presence of a residing mythology and is the reason non secular prepare. The time era "Pagan" is a Christian version of the "Gentile" of Judaism, and as such has an inherent Christian or Abrahamic bias, and pejorative connotations between Westerners, equivalent to heathen, and infidel, mushrik and kafir in Islam. as a result, ethnologists keep away from the time era "Paganism", with its uncertain and assorted meanings, in concerning classic or historic faiths, who prefer greater precise categories including polytheism, shamanism, pantheism, or animism. by way of fact the later twentieth century, besides the incontrovertible fact that, the words "Pagan" or "Paganism" are starting to be widely and brazenly used as a self-designation of adherents of polytheistic reconstructionism and neo-Paganism

Answer 10

There are dozens. Go to a good Christian Book store. They will be able to help you. A truly open public library should have a bunch too. YBIC

Answer 11

YES, every culture builds on the previous ones. xtainy is a new religion that evolved from the ones before it.
