Why do Christians worship the Egyptian Sun God "Amen Ra?"?

Question

Christians have all these other stories about where the word Amen came from, and what it means, but the first Amen, that existed long before Christianity came about was the Egyptian sun god "Amen Ra" Go look it up... So why are you worshipping an Egyptian Sun God? Is Christianity an Egyptian religion? Are Isis and mary, and horus and jesus all the same thing? Why does the pope have an egyptian obelisk (phallus) at the Vatican in the courtyard?

Answer 1

There are many similarities. In the days of the Roman Empire, the Mediterranean was a melting pot of ideas, especially in Egypt. You had the Egyptian gods, especially Isis whose iconography is reflected in the iconography of the Madonna. Then you had the Greek mystery cults, the Roman temples, and the Jews. Then, there was this new Jewish cult that came out of Jerusalem. All of these things mixed together, and gave rise to the Gnostic movement, which was like the "New Age" movement of the First through Third centuries. The Gnostic writings surviving from Egypt -- the Nag Hammadi Library, and some of the Greek Magical Papyri -- show a syncretism of Christian, Jewish, Egyptian, Greek, and Roman ideas. Christianity developed in this bubbling pool of ideas, and the Catholic Church was born. Much of the symbolism and iconography of Christianity, as well as some of the rituals (baptism, Eucharist), sacred calendar (see the debates over the date of Christmas), and even some of the stories surrounding Christ, have Pagan origins. This is not a knock on Christianity, and I mean no offense. I am simply stating historical fact.

God is real. Religion =division. Man is flawed and constantly attempting to validate one's theory. Fighting over who's right has cast us into the pits of fire time and time again. The Most High told us not to lean onto our own understanding. We instinctively go against the grain. I believe in the Messiah, now someone who doesn't know Him may feel otherwise. The old testament was an ongoing war amongst people who were in some way all related. Egyptians, Ethiopians, Palestinians or Israel,Babylon and so on. The new testament was The Lord saying hold up, stop! No need to feud over who's right and who's wrong because neither is right. We truly fight to this day over The Lord instead of seeking The Lord. The powers that be believe in Gnosticism. D.C, The Crown of London and the Vatican each have obelisks, don't pay taxes, control Earth's currency and fly there own flag. The Vatican's obelisk came straight from Egypt. Who else worships a phallus? Look it up and seek the Truth. Just be ready when it's time if you know what I mean

Religions were mixed together. Yule Log and Christmas tree are both pagan (there is actually an instance in the old testament that says people shouldn't 'cut a tree and decorate it with lights like the pagans do'. Seriously). Drinking the blood of the wine god Dionysus was a thing before Jesus came along. Too much of the bible was actually told in other religions BEFORE the bible was made. It's said that the emperor of Constantinople had a hand in it to bring a sense of unity to the people in his country who were doing a lot of religious fighting.

Answer 6

God alone is real. Religion, is the lie brought to the world by the heathens in what is now Europe. It s purpose is to divide, perpetuate hate, and wars. After the Moors invaded, and civilized Europe, the defeated heathens created the myth JESUS and released him on the world, especially Black slaves in america. Greatest con ever, but the Truth is crystal clear that God is, and He never had a Son, called JESUS. Christianity and the others were made from Truth, but couldn t be further, from the Truth. Everything was in Black, until the rise of Europe, after being civilized by the Moors. Then, with their religion and the Good Ships Jesus, Europeans changed things to "in Black and White."

Answer 7

Well, it's because it's where the ancient Jews got the idea for Monotheism. The Cult of Amen was Egypts first Monotheism, which was in power during the time when the Jews were slaves.
The origins of Monotheism in no way dispute the reality of it.

Answer 8

"The root of the word comes from Hebrew aman, which means to nourish and make strong. Emunah (faithfulness) also comes from aman. The ancient Greeks used the word (AMHN) from Hebrew to mean 'truth', 'surely', 'absolutely'. It is one of just a few Hebrew words which have been imported unchanged into Church liturgy. The current meaning of Amen and its pronunciation is pretty much the same in any modern language and religion." The obleisk is "looked upon as the last witness to the martyrdom of St. Peter."

Answer 9

None of it truly matters. What matters is what is in your heart. If you know the one and only true creator of everything then you know what is right and what is wrong. If you know "God" then you despise evil and would do anything to make it scurry away and hide like a coward. The whole ying and yang thing is nothing less than excuse for those who are sociopaths. Do you still think about the things you have done wrong and regret those actions and choices? If so, then you are on the right path. End of story.

KInd of Stretching on this one!! The word Amen as used by the Jewish and Catholic Faiths actually has it's roots in Hebrew where it means "firm" or "faithful". Amen-Ra also spelled Amon-Ra is not related to the Hebrew word at all. It's quite similar to a statement oft quoted that live is evil spelled backward, or God is Dog spelled backward. Both of these instances are true but only in English. There is an Egyptian Obelisk (it's up to the viewer to interpret as a "Phallus" or not) on display at the Vatican it's there, presumably for one (or both) of two reasons 1. It makes a nice decoration or 2. it symbolizes the Christian Faith rising above the Pagan Religions. That is , however conjecture on my part. BTW where have you hears "all these stories" about where "Amen" comes from? All I've ever heard is what I passed on to you, that's even after being agnostic for many years. Oh well, perhaps one day you'll find the truth. Merry Christmas!!

Christianity is a mixture of Sun worship & Judaism, since
the time of Constantine it has been this way. No one realizes
that the right way of saying, so be it : is Amein which is of
course Hebrew. As for Isis/Mary, Horus/Zeus/Jesus & the
obelisk, sun rays around the heads in pictures, see
Constantine, he was a sun worshipper & never renounced it
just added christianity & this became the state religion.
Islam is a mix of moon worship & Judaism.
