Why isn't Apollonius of Tyana the poster boy of Christianity? He did the exact same things as Jesus!?

Answer 1

I didn't see anything in there about him turning water to wine, or walking on water, or raising anyone from the dead, or healing the blind, or the leaper, or being crucified and raising on the third day????

Answer 2

I am afraid I have to disagree.

First Apollonius of Tyana was not a Christian.

A summary of Catholic beliefs is contained in the Nicene Creed (from the year 325):

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, one in being with the Father. Through Him all things were made. For us and our salvation He came down from heaven: by the power of the Holy Spirit, He was born of the Virgin Mary, and became man. For our sake He was crucified under Pontius Pilate; He suffered, died, and was buried. On the third day He rose again in fulfillment of the scriptures: He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end.

From what I have read, Apollonius of Tyana is not believed to be or have done any of this.

With love in Christ.

Answer 3

Jesus died for those who he came for sins no one else did that.
