Horus Vs Jesus? Did the Bible Steal?

Question

After doing some research it has come to my attention that Jesus is almost exactly like the Egyptian God Horus. Both were born of a virgin on Dec 25th and visited by 3 Kings. Both were baptized by a "Baptist" who was beheaded. Started to preach at the age of 30 and had 12 diciples. Both were Crucified and buried; then resurrected. Why do you think the bible took this story for Jesus?

Horus was a God 3000+years before the formation of Christanity.

Answer 1

I've always thought that Jesus was a Semitic copy of Horus. Also Horus was the son of Ra, the supreme god of the Egyptians, and Jesus was the son of God???

Another copy from the Egyptian gods was Set. He was probably the original source of Satan. He was the god pf chaos, wildfires, and storms. He tried to overthrow Ra and take his throne. His actions proved him to be a liar and a murderer. He is even described as having a forked tail. Even the modern Church of Satan recognized the relationship between the two when they changed their name to Temple of Set.

Jesus Vs Horus

Answer 3

The whole religion of Christianity and Catholicism are adapted from the Romans beliefs, which is adapted from Greek beliefs, which is adapted from the ancient Egyptian belief, so Christians, Catholics, and Hebrews are all inadvertently worshipping Ra, the Egyptian sun god. Some saints also come from Egyptian gods, such as Jesus comes from Horus, St. Peter from Anubis, and ? (I forgot this one) comes from Isis (the Egyptian goddess of motherhood and fertility, not the terrorist organisation). Another thing is that the bible has been adapted and changed by the people in charge of the religion throughout the years to suit them and strengthen their rule by: making Jesus white (to fortify the belief that he was the son of god and a holy, divine being (which is kind of racist but the Romans didn't care at the time)), changing parts of the stories, and changing certain parts of the belief systems to make people donate to 'make god happy'. One last thing, Horus was the son of Osiris, the god king of the dead, and pharaohs were worshipped as and were believed to be the embodiments of Osiris, while princes were worshipped as the pharaohs' successor and Horus.

Answer 4

I've seen "Zeitgeist" and "Hidden Colors" that make these claims. First of all, if you believe what a documentary tells you without checking its sources simply because it may appeal to your emotions, that shows a lack of critical thinking skills. Reading is fundamental people. A simple reading of the Horus tale in books such as 'Religion in ancient Egypt: gods, myths, and personal practice' edited by Byron E. Shafer
and 'Ancient Egyptian religion' by Stephen Quirke and comparing that with the Biblical New Testament will set the record straight.

Answer 5

Copied from "Gotquestions.org" "Do the mythological gods of antiquity really mirror the person of Jesus Christ? As an example, the Zeitgeist movie makes these claims about the Egyptian god Horus:

• He was born on December 25 of a virgin: Isis Mary
• A star in the East proclaimed his arrival
• Three kings came to adore the newborn “savior”
• He became a child prodigy teacher at age 12
• At age 30 he was “baptized” and began a “ministry”
• Horus had twelve “disciples”
• Horus was betrayed
• He was crucified
• He was buried for three days
• He was resurrected after three days

However, when the actual writings about Horus are competently examined, this is what we find:

• Horus was born to Isis; there is no mention in history of her being called “Mary.” Moreover, “Mary” is our Anglicized form of her real name, Miryam or Miriam. “Mary” was not even used in the original texts of Scripture.
• Isis was not a virgin; she was the widow of Osiris and conceived Horus with Osiris.
• Horus was born during month of Khoiak (Oct/Nov), not December 25. Further, there is no mention in the Bible as to Christ’s actual birth date.
• There is no record of three kings visiting Horus at his birth. The Bible never states the actual number of magi that came to see Christ.
• Horus is not a “savior” in any way; he did not die for anyone.
• There are no accounts of Horus being a teacher at the age of 12.
• Horus was not “baptized.” The only account of Horus that involves water is one story where Horus is torn to pieces, with Isis requesting the crocodile god to fish him out of the water.
• Horus did not have a “ministry.”
• Horus did not have 12 disciples. According to the Horus accounts, Horus had four demigods that followed him, and there are some indications of 16 human followers and an unknown number of blacksmiths that went into battle with him.
• There is no account of Horus being betrayed by a friend.
• Horus did not die by crucifixion. There are various accounts of Horus’ death, but none of them involve crucifixion.
• There is no account of Horus being buried for three days.
• Horus was not resurrected. There is no account of Horus coming out of the grave with the body he went in with. Some accounts have Horus/Osiris being brought back to life by Isis and then becoming the lord of the underworld.

When compared side by side, Jesus and Horus bear little, if any, resemblance to one another." There was more if you are brave enough to go to the site and read it.

Answer 6

Umm Jesus died a long time ago.. never was resurrected (total hysterical myth) and he's not coming back. He was just some dude. Seriously. If you want to believe something different that's your business. For me, I need proof. Physical irrefutable proof.. in the here and now. You give me that .. then you can sell me on your religious propaganda. Till then I'll side with science.

Answer 7

Before Christianity was born there where many religions based on a virgin birth and a man the son of God dying for our sins, Christianity is similar because it was made to relate to the people so it didn't seem ridiculous like Mormonism or Scientology seems to us today really Christianity is just as ridiculous yet we are immune to this

Answer 8

There are similarities, but Horus was the son of Osiris and Isis, not Re (or Ra). Most of it depends on whose version of the story you're reading.

Answer 9

um no, for one a lot of those below posted things that are not 100% accurate with Egyptian mythology. If you want to answer this question, simply look up Horus creation myth, read it, and then read the mythology of Jesus creation.

Answer 10

No.
Jesus was not necessarily born on the 25th f December, and no one know's how many Wise men (not kings) visted him, it is only assumed 3 king because of 3 gifts. baptisum is a symbol of faith in Jesus and rejecting wrong(sin). "Horus was NOT crucified; he did NOT have 12 disciples" crucifition was only started in Roman times so duh the egyptians didnt do that. sounds like an unpopular god to have only 12 diciples, wereas Jesus had 12 close followers and 10000000000000s other friends and followers today

Answer 11

Before slavery the whites copied the Egyptian hyroglephics and made Horus white so they could make white people seem superior than blacks. This made black people to think whites were holy and that the blacks should serve them. Watch Hidden Colors 1 and 2
