It`s funny that paganism is defined as religious faiths outside of Christianity, Judasim, and Islam. When pagan religions gave birth to Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. Everything from the birth, death, resurrection of Jesus Christ can be found in pagan mythology. Your an intelligent rational person, cant you see how delusional religion is? Click on the link below.

jesus is not a copy of one god but all of his miracles can be found in other earlier gods, he is like a collection of earlier gods. It is easier to get people to convert when they recognize their own god in the new one.
A good site as well as those who are highly opposed may notice the site is called religious tollerance.org It shows no bias or opinion on the information the give and show evidence from both sides of the story

Well that might work except for key cultural differences. Also the time line issue. No Jew of the time period would ever convert to something that they know is based on a God from a foreign land. Deliberately Jewish acts were a part of the story of Jesus that shows this cultural bias. Horus and all the other Gods were known so in order to get any Jews to convert they would need what was for them indisputable evidence. Also, the Gospels are known to have been written within 70 years of the events that they depict and Paul's letters even earlier. There is no way a myth like quality could have arisen that fast because people were still around who could refute it because they were there. The other legends were recorded hundreds of years later and corruptible to myth making forces of long periods of oral tradition. For these main reasons your hypothesis does not hold water and you need to do more research on the matter.

actual, this is style of any incorrect way around. The pre-Christian Horus became into no longer something like Jesus, and the unique tale of his beginning did no longer contain a virgin mom. (Necrophiliac, definite; virgin, no.) a jointly as in the past, I asked why those issues keeps coming returned, and human beings referred to dissimilar sources for a Horus-worship corresponding to Christianity. The EARLIEST of those became into from the late fourth century CE--centuries after Christianity became into nicely typical in Egypt. the likely clarification is that a Horus fantasy at as quickly as adapted from Christian sources became into presented. i think the unique foundation became into an end run around between the Roman Empire's persecutions of Christians: paint the classic headdress on the Madonna and a falcon's head on the child Christ, substitute the names, and bingo! this is not any longer a prohibited faith to any extent further. surprisingly much not one of the claimed "resemblances" between Horus-worship and Christianity predate the creation of Christianity into Egypt.

Greetings!
Religion means to "re-link", and different people are drawn (for whatever reason) to different Faiths, some more delusional than others.
I would have to venture that Horus and Jesus might share some qualities, attributes, etc., but are different Historical persons.
The question is not phrased to express the statement in a manner that would make Christians interested in your point, but you get a b+ for trying.
Education is always a good thing, even for rationalists.

I do not think that Pharoah of Egypt would agree with you.
When Moses asked Pharoah to free the Jews from slavery, and he refused, he caused Egypt to suffer the ten plagues and finally lost his only son.
Pharoah was actually dealing with Almighty God , because at that time Jesus had not been sent.
Jesus did not become known until Egypt was being controlled from rome under Emperor Tiberius.
The last Pharoah / King/ Queen of Egypt was the last of the Ptolemies, CLEOPATRA, THIRTY YEARS BEFORE JESUS.

Wow, I have seen absolutely no intelligent answers or rebuttals, save for Jesus, My†h-Supers†ar's.
And do the guy who said "Jesus is recorded in history," no, he's actually not.

If you will learn the difference between YOUR and YOU'RE and how to use punctuation marks I might allow you to lecture me on RELIGION but... Allow you to try and teach me about Christianity... I'm sorry, No.
As for religious tolerance... I treat people of all religions with courtesy and respect. I usually find that courtesy and respect being returned but when it comes to those who have NO religion I find that often I'm not given the same courtesy and respect I afford them.

No, THE LORD JESUS CHRIST is not the Egyptian god horus. Thus, be aware that Satan is the great deceiver of mankind and deceives peoples the whole world. Yet satan is the ruler of this world. Such that on regards of the pagan god horus, satan arranged everything to deceive peoples to believe that THE LORD JESUS CHRIST is the Egyptian god horus. THANK GOD; FEAR GOD; PRAISE GOD; GLORIFY GOD; HONOR GOD; LOVE GOD AND WORSHIP GOD.

Hmm... they couldn't, because that's not actually true.
JC is an amalgamation that, in addition to Horus, most notably includes Mithra.

Get a life. Those are all Mystical figures. Jesus is recorded in history. Greek Mythology and Egyrtian Myhs made them up. do your research.
