Jesus is actually based off Mithra?

Question

The story of a divine child being born of a virgin mother on December 25th, performing healings and resurrections, having 12 disciples (the signs of the zodiac), and having a last supper with flattened bread (which had crosses on them by the way to symbolize the sun) was all done a few thousand years before Jesus. Yes, Jesus is a rip-off of the Persian god of "light and truth" (those symbols Sound familiar?). Mithra makes Jesus look like a cheesy rerun. Look up Mithra yourself if you don't believe me.

Answer 1

I just watched a TV special about the Egyptians. Death was the main goal in their lives, with the Book of the Dead being the only writing they left for scholars to unearth. Everything they did was in preparation for the afterlife. Each community had their own gods which were made up as a threesome -- a man, his wife, and a son. They became gods after death and were then worshiped.

Judaism evolved from this atmosphere. Our laws are to be followed for life here on earth, and how to behave in an ethical/moral manner. The word Torah (OT), actually means "instruction." The Torah is our instruction for living our life today -- not for a future afterlife, if there is one.

We work as partners with God in creating a better world for all humanity; we leave the afterlife to God trusting that He will judge us fairly and compassionately.

Answer 2

You can believe what you like, but I happen to know that Jesus was pre-existent and so was everything he was going to do here on earth.

The snake from the garden knew Gods plan and had plenty of time to corrupt it. He has been doing the same work from the beginning. These pagan influences infiltrate all facets of our lives in modern society. Satan even crept into the Church with some of these evil practices causing some Christians to unknowingly repeat these ancient rituals.

The children gather wood, the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead dough, to make cakes for the queen of heaven; and they pour out drink offerings to other gods, that they may provoke Me to anger. Jeremiah 7:18


The one thing that proves you wrong about Christ is this little 1356 page letter that the God of Abraham and His Son wrote to us telling us all about our origins and our destiny.

I don’t recall Mithra, Isis, Horus, Semerimus, Zeus, Athena, Apollo, Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva or any other pagan counterfeit ever telling me the future in such detail and then delivering on it.


Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth? It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in: Isa 40:21-22

Answer 3

Your probably right but, how much good charitable work came about from the belief in Mithra? And I am not saying Christianity hasn't had its dark time, corruption and wickedness, but there have been a lot of lives changed for the better.
I can't understand why soo many people get hung up on the story anchored in the material world. The message of brotherly love, and charity should be transcendent. The message has echoed throughout history and across all continents. Why are there so few of us that see this ?

Answer 4

You discover one figure with the divine birth and having disciples and you think you've made some breakthrough discovery?
Almost every mythological figure has the same elements. Not just Mithra.

Look at "Beowulf", which is a book translated from etched stones. It has the same divine birth, coming of age, tests of strength, etc. that the Hero story always has.

Jesus was a real being, just like any other historical figure. The only argument is whether or not he was the Messiah.

Of course, any religion's "bible" converts stories to myth-mode for storytelling and lesson-teaching ability. It doesn't mean that any given story has no truth to it and doesn't mean it's a "copy" of something else.

You're not as smart as you think you are.

Answer 5

In the Golden Bough it is recounted how Mithra worship was still quite prevalent even after the establishment of Christianity as the dominant religion. The church tried in vain to stop the celebration of Mithra's birthday which was December 25th. (Jesus' birthday at the time was celebrated by the Church on January 6th.) Frazer quotes an early Church leader who explained why the date of Christmas was changed. "If the people are going to celebrate, let them celebrate Christ instead."

Answer 6

there's a historic evidence of the existence of Jesus. regardless of the undeniable fact that, the God Being that he had replaced into is because of the Church set up by making use of his basic followers. This questions grew to become into reiterated in solutions many circumstances (esp christmas). i've got in my opinion concept that Jesus grew to become right into a brilliant instructor or chief, yet i've got additionally doubted his religious claims. The Church had hardship changing the pagans then, as a manner to make Christianity an extra handy pill to swallow, the tailored the pagan faith of Mithraism (which grew to become into very vast then). besides the certainty that Jesus grew to become into meant to be born in around April, the Church then did no longer have fun his birthday (why i do no longer understand). They cleverly introduced the Birthday of Mithras to be the birthday of Jesus, so as that the pagans does no longer might desire to alter their traditions of celebrating on the 25 December.

Answer 7

Is goes back much further than Mithra; there have been hundreds of pre-historic pagan stories of virgin births.
The question that many Historians ask is; 'Why did the early christian church accept the Virgin story when everyone knew about the old pagan/virgin myths? It doesn't make sense...or did the Pagan virgin Myths prophesy the true birth of Jesus?
Think about it.

Answer 8

A British world travelor on George Noory's show purchased an extremely old picture of Krishna on the cross, which is a relief becaus I can't imagine our saviour in a place without trees.

Answer 9

Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. I don't see how eternal truth has anything to do with false, pagan, religion. If you honestly look closely at Jesus Christ. You will discover that Christ has a uniqueness that nothing else comes to resembling. There are some things that may have similarities. Like the queen of heaven giving birth to the sun god, Tammuz. But that's cause Satan always comes up with counterfeits to confuse the people of the world. blessings

Answer 10

Actually, The Mithras bit comes a bit after Jesus.

However, Dionysus, and Horus did the exact same things before Jesus. Even without Mithras, Jesus' "life," [I do not beleive he ever existed] was based of Pagan gods.
