When we read how Greeks were convinced that Zeus existed, do we see any parallel with our current beliefs?

Question

And that future generations will refer to our beliefs as 'Western mythology' or 'Christian mythology', etc.?

Answer 1

I used to feel that way, Dude, but study has changed my mind.

As a smug atheist, I classified religious as whimsy insecure ignoramuses. I was intelligent, and followed science, I told myself. How wrong I was!

I decided to study alone, without a preacher. Yes, I suppose there are many people looking for an honest preacher to teach them the truth, but no one had presented God's word in an intelligent manner--the obvious result is atheism.

As I studied God's word from front to back, then compared it with history, I was astounded. Not only that, but I was insulted as God revealed truths that I had never heard before.

The Bible says: "It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man." So, I would suggest that you start with an open Bible while on your knees in prayer. He will reveal Himself to you. And just one more thing, in the Bible verse that tells you twice they are closed to the end of time. And only the Wise Shall Understand.

Answer 2

Our present day expertise of quantuum concept has many stange outcomes that defy commonsense. i do ask your self no count if there is a few thing we are lacking which will make all those epicycles upon epicycles remodel into an ellipse. yet on the different hand, lots of those unusual outcomes look properly -examined. possibly we merely ought to settle for that actuality is strange. For astronomy, if we hit upon darkish count or a reasonable use for its 11 dimensions the universe would look extremely diverse. for astrobiology, the biggest question for us is extraterrestrial beings... no count if we study that there are some, or study that there 1are none (or a minimum of no longer something close). the two alternatives are frightening, yet i don't be attentive to that's scariest.

Answer 3

yes.God. compare Zeus to God. suppose Zeus was not a god but a politician.seems silly i know and anyone who has studied extensively will likely refute this. i still wonder if Zeus was actually one. in parallel to this i wonder if those heads of famous politician's on Mount Rushmore could be mistaken for gods thousands of years from now by archaeologists. i wonder if goddesses actually were and not women fantasized aboutor female politicians or priests like now or if the same could happen in future american women become like amazons it is hidden women were ever priests then again maybe not in editorials called femminist stunt says more interested in that than reforming faith. to be clear female priest thing going on now probably for years without all the fuss i do not think anyone minds who does the work of God . speaking of which could God be a human as well maybe even Jesus's father that would mean God has been dead for thousands of years.it is said Jesus is the son of GODis it not.other things said too no doubt point though.

Answer 4

We should do. When you consider the thousands of religions that there have been these merely testify to the superstition of mankind. There is no convincing reason why the current crop of religions are the 'correct' ones. Religion is one area of life which has not evolved over the last 2,000 years and the reason is that if it did it might cease to exist. The Golden Bough is a good summary of Myths, religions and superstitions.

Answer 5

Christians and Jews have the same God. As Judeaism is one of the oldest religions far out dating Zeus I doubt he is about to be forgotten now. On top of that look at all the persecution Christianity has endured and yet people are willing to die before they give up their beliefs. There will be people who believe in God and Jesus for as long as time exists.

Answer 6

The current generation is ALREADY starting to do this. Any objective person can see the parallels.

Answer 7

Absolutely yes!
Nevertheless, this does NOT mean there is no true God, an Almighty Creator. If fact, the ability to create life is the very thing that distinguishes the true God from all the other gods. This is exactly what the apostle Paul pointed out to the Greeks and others while speaking in the Areopagus.

"Paul now stood in the midst of the Ar·e·op′a·gus and said:

“Men of Athens, I behold that in all things YOU seem to be more given to the fear of the deities than others are. For instance, while passing along and carefully observing YOUR objects of veneration I also found an altar on which had been inscribed ‘To an Unknown God.’ Therefore what YOU are unknowingly giving godly devotion to, this I am publishing to YOU. The God that made the world and all the things in it, being, as this One is, Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in handmade temples, neither is he attended to by human hands as if he needed anything, because he himself gives to all [persons] life and breath and all things. And he made out of one [man] every nation of men, to dwell upon the entire surface of the earth, and he decreed the appointed times and the set limits of the dwelling of [men], for them to seek God, if they might grope for him and really find him, although, in fact, he is not far off from each one of us. For by him we have life and move and exist, even as certain ones of the poets among YOU have said, ‘For we are also his progeny.’

“Seeing, therefore, that we are the progeny of God, we ought not to imagine that the Divine Being is like gold or silver or stone, like something sculptured by the art and contrivance of man. True, God has overlooked the times of such ignorance, yet now he is telling mankind that they should all everywhere repent. Because he has set a day in which he purposes to judge the inhabited earth in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed, and he has furnished a guarantee to all men in that he has resurrected him from the dead.” - Acts 17:22-31

Answer 8

Probobly, however the way the human mind works, unless we address the disease the symptom will continue.

The Disease being the unknown, specifically death.

As soon as Christianity dies, then another will rise to take its place. People abhor the unknown, of which death is the most potent, unknown of our time.

Answer 9

You know getting a straight answer to this question from most of the Christians is like trying to make a natural with one die.

Answer 10

I hope so. Let's hope that some day all mythologies and superstitions take the place in history were they long ago belonged.
