Christianity just spliced other religions together.?

Question

First of all, Christianity is an offshoot of Judaism. Most people know that already. It also steals ideas from 3 other religions. God impregnating a virgin is a rip of the Greek God Zeus. Zeus did this several times. Greek mythology was around long before Christianity. Jesus himself is a direct rip off the Zoroastrian Mithras. Mithras was born in December 25th and was also born to a virgin. Mithras raised the dead, healed the sick, and cast out demons. Mithras returned to Heaven at the spring equinox, but before doing so, he had a last meal with his 12 disciples who all represented the 12 signs of the Zodiac. The meal was bread and wine. Zoroastrianism was around long before Christianity. Jesus's death-revival-ascent to ascent to Godhood is a rip off of Egyptian God Osiris was murdered, resurrected, and then ascended to Godhood. Egyptian mythology was around long before Christianity. And Christians claim that their God is the only God that was not man made. Ha

Answer 1

there are many false Gods ... many of them closely resemble the One God and that was extensively focused on in the old testament of the bible which is basically Judaism ... its nothing new ..

Answer 2

Actually, Jesus is closer to Horus than Mithras, but almost the same thing.

Answer 3

Everyone knows that Christianity is not as old as other religions are. Ideas evolve, people change, customs and beliefs get absorbed into one another until you have a blending of traditions. That's how the world works. There is nothing new or original under the sun. Buddhism borrowed from Hinduism, New Age Paganism borrows from Druidism and Hellenism. I'm sure even you have borrowed some beliefs from one place and some from another and fused them into something new. Does that make your beliefs somehow unworthy?

Answer 4

sure, they the two from the line of Abraham. Islam is greater in song with the previous testomony than the hot. They settle for the certainty that Jesus grow to be a prophet yet deny the trinity, the virgin delivery and the crucifixion. Jesus grow to be merely a guy with a message. additionally they deny the trinity. it somewhat is a condemnation of the religion in accordance to Islam. It has taken the Christians removed from the real message and meaning of God. Islam grow to be created 500 years after Constantine created the hot Christian faith. there is countless Gnosticism in the Muslim faith. They for sure had get right of entry to to most of the previous biblical texts as they created the religion. most of the memories in the Koran are the comparable as in the bible.

Answer 5

actually its more like Satan ripped off what he knew God's plan to be. There is much prophecy in the old testament about Jesus. Starting right in Genesis. and so of course a number of superstitions were able to be started based on those. The God of the old testament and the God of christians are one and the same. we ripped nothing off, satan did. If you pay attention you can even see this prophecy in the Torah. Easy enough for anyone to take the prophecies of Jesus given in the old testament and turn them into a seperate belief.

Answer 6

You are incorrect. Many of the writings that go into putting mythological history together were not written until many centuries following the death of Jesus. In fact, they may have borrowed from Christianity. This mythological argument is nonsense because the historical record does not agree with your claims. Learn better history.

Answer 7

All religions are just a combination of previous myths an legends.


All the way back to people hearing the grass whispering, the trees groaning, streams babbling and thinking that this must be spirits talking rather than just random sounds.

Answer 8

you forgot TAMMUZ that was such an influence in ancient Judea that this was said about their ritual "mourning" of his death at the end of each summer
"Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the Lord's house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz. Then said he unto to me, 'Hast thou seen this, O son of man? turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations than these." — Ezekiel 8.14-15
There were a number of people in ancient Judea who were influenced by Tammuz worship where he was a called a "shepherd" who "tended the flocks of stars, which were considered souls of the dead in heaven." Tammuz and Adnois worship were said to be somewhat related in this area. I believe Tammuz worship orginally began in Sumeria. There are other parallels but I can't remember them at the moment.(there still exists a Hebrew calendar month, Tammuz) Tammuz worshippers, already apostate to Judaism, were some of his earliest converts to Christianity as Paul combined elements of Romanized Mithras worship, Adonis and Tammuz worship.

Note, too, Jeremiah refers to the ancient worship of the spirits in trees when during the winter months, those spirits were placated and asked to return to life in the spring by decorating the trees and offering gifts below them during the winter solstice..he condemns this practice in Chapter 10.
