Christians... ZEUS created everything (including GOD) am i wrong? PROVE ME WRONG! ZEUS CAME BEFORE GOD!!?

Answer 1

I can't prove you wrong.

Answer 2

Are you asking us or telling us that "ZEUS CAME BEFORE GOD!!?" (note both types of end punctuation) In a way Zeus DID come before God if you're arguing word usage/origins - God is a modern term, Zeus is the name of a mythological god a couple millennium ago.

If you're not arguing words usage/origins (then first I wonder why you are you only asking Christians?) then you've confused your mythologies. Zeus is no more real to us than the "God" we believe in will be to people 3000 years from now.

I don't practice Hinduism but I've been in Hindu countries and I kind of like the way they believe that the hundreds and hundred of gods (expressions of God, ALL is Brahma) their faith allows is a neat way to say: how do I summarize in a word what many religions fail to do with thousands of years of people practicing that faith?

Answer 3

I'm not a Christian, but I can prove you are wrong.

As a Hellenic Polytheist, I am familiar with a variety of Greek Creation myths. The most commonly known is that found in Hesiod's Theogony where Gaia and Ouranos arose from primordial Khaos. They together begat the Titans. The ruler of the Titans, Khronos and his wife Rhea had 6 children (the Kronides -- Hestia, Haides, Demeter, Poseidon, Hera, and finally Zeus). It was after defeating his father that Zeus became King of the Olympian Gods.....

Please do not try to use your ignorance of our religion to try to disprove another religion. It only makes YOU look bad.

Answer 4

The Greeks invented Zeus, so he is not even as old as Greece let alone God. Why do you think he created everything? Zeus was often deceived. (the incident with Prometheus of example) That demonstrates that although he was the god who ruled Olympus and its divine denizens, he was subject to the laws of Fate and was not in fact all-powerful. And just as the other deities had their own personal foibles, Zeus too had a weakness - he was passionately fond of female charms. Many stories about Zeus recount his insatiable lust and notorious wandering eye, an eye that fell upon goddess and mortal woman alike.

He strikes me as a rather weak being. Certainly not an all powerful Creator of everything. This is my own opinion. You may certainly think differently.

Merry Christmas!

Answer 5

The God of the Bible proved his bona-fides by detailed prophecies which came true in such an exact way that they could not have been predicted by mere chance.

No Mythological "god" , legend or fairy tales can accurately predict the future like the Bible did.

Further, archaeologists have verified that these prophecies were written down many years before they were fulfilled, proving that the documents claiming to be prophecies were not written after the event as some doubters claim.


We also have Eye-witness accounts of miraculous events, by people that had nothing to gain but everything to lose by speaking out about what they had seen, for example: The death and resurrection of Jesus and his post-resurrection physical appearance to over 500 people over a 40 continuous day period.

We have better historical documentation for Jesus than for the founder of any other ancient religion…One expert documented thirty-nine ancient sources (outside of the Bible) that corroborate more than one hundred facts concerning Jesus’ life, teachings, crucifixion and resurrection.

The New Testament was written during the first century of Christianity which was during the lifetimes of eyewitnesses.

The standard scholarly dating, even in very liberal circles, is still within the lifetimes of various eyewitnesses of the life of Jesus, and within the lifetimes of hostile eyewitnesses who would have served as a corrective if false teachings about Jesus were going around.

Since Christians were strongly persecuted by both the Jews and the Roman government. If the New Testament writings were false, these two hostile groups would have produced a great deal of evidence to stop the growth of this “sect.” dead in it's tracks

No such evidence was ever produced.

Further, the New Testament letters and writings (before they were assembled into the “book” we call the New Testament) circulated during the lifetimes of thousands of people who had actually seen Jesus’ miracles and other historic events. No one ever refuted the New Testament writings as “fairy tales.” No one ever came forward and said "Hey, I was there and that was NOT what happened!"

The New Testament writers insisted with conviction that their writings were not mythical, but were indeed based on factual events. (They suffered torture and death rather than recant one single word of their testimony) Furthermore, they specifically documented many of the eye-witnesses who could testify to the accuracy of their statements. If the gospels were not true, all someone would have to do was to say, “Hey, wait a minute! I was there and it didn’t happen that way!” The Jewish and Roman authorities would have publicised such negative testimony all over the Holy Land and right through the Roman Empire and yet they never found anyone whose version of the events contradicted the testimony of the New Testament writers .

The claim that the Bible is filled with myths can be made, but it cannot be reasonably maintained. The evidence is overwhelming that the Bible writers understood and insisted that their information was accurate and factual. Their claim of factual accuracy has been verified by the discipline of archaeology as well as by refutations of alleged contradictions between the various writings and history. The Bible is not a book of myth that belongs beside the likes of Mary Poppins or Peter Pan.

The Heroes in the Bible are presented realistically, with all their faults and shortcomings. When presenting themselves, most people tend to tell about their positive traits, eliminating negative traits, such as drunkenness, adultery, and murder. The inclusion of the good and the bad of God's leaders indicate that the biblical accounts are not just fabricated stories. If it was just a made up religion they would have taken great care not to offend or upset anybody or tell anyone their lifestyle was wrong, on the contrary they would have made it say what people want to hear so that it would catch on and be popular. It makes no sense to make up something people will find offensive and want to reject - unless it were true!

Not a single, legitimate contradiction has been found that would suggest that the biblical writers falsified information. For years, sceptics have found alleged contradictions between the biblical texts. These alleged “contradictions” have been proven to be false, and adequate answers proving the noncontradictory nature of the Bible texts have been given time and time again.

Unlike myths and fairy tales, the Bible has been proven to be the most accurate, historically verifiable book that has ever been produced. Years of archaeological finds have unearthed enough evidence verifying the Bible’s accuracy to bury the claim of myth a thousand times over.

It is a book of inspired, factual, historically accurate information that deserves its rightful place in the annals of history as the most amazing book ever written—bar none.

Compare that with ZEUS and it's no contest, we know ZEUS was a myth and no one seriously claims otherwise let alone has any kind of proof for ZEUS being real rather than imaginary!

Answer 6

This gives evidence towards atheism.

Back then, people believed in Zeus and what not.

Now we think of those beliefs as silly legends and such.

Who knows, maybe a few thousand years from now, people may believe in a different diety and think of Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, and many other religions as silly legends of some sort.

Answer 7

Odin and Thor and all of Asgard will team up and kick Zeus's @$$, along with the rest of the Olympians, you Hel-bound blasphemer.

;)

Edit:

"zeus is fiction created by man. God created man, thus GOD came before the idea of zeus.... case close"

"Zeus was named one of many GODS. So GOD came before Zeus...see?"

"Zues is fake, God is real. How can something fake come before something real?"

"The Greeks invented Zeus, so he is not even as old as Greece let alone God."

"Yes, you are wrong, very wrong! Who is Zeus? There is none above God, He is the Creator of all things and all beings. The beginning and end of all things."

"Zeus was a creation. The Creator ( GOD) existed before Zeus. There for this clearly refutes your point."

Wow, that's irrefutable proof, isn't it? Shot you right out of the water, didn't they? I especially like that last one.

Answer 8

The supernatural – including Zeus, God, heaven, hell, Satan and tooth fairies – is an invention of the human imagination. The following is for those who believe in the supernatural or indulge other fantasies in preference to reality.

Faith and logic are antithetical. If religious adherents would admit that they believe for PERSONAL, rather than logical, reasons, THEN they would be honest about their "faith". But it’s dishonest to claim one's faith is logical – faith is a personal position, not a logical conclusion.

Faith and doubt always go hand in hand. Faith without doubt is BLIND faith. It takes a closed mind to sublimate doubt to the point of blind faith. Normal people leaven their faith with a little common sense. Doubt always nibbles at the edges of their faith. After all, without doubt, faith would have no context, no purpose, no meaning, no point. Would it?

Because there is no evidence for anything supernatural (including God), NOBODY can claim ANY knowledge of it. Anybody who does is lying or delusional. It takes suspension of disbelief to believe in the supernatural: one must convince oneself that the impossible is possible. This is the opposite of curiosity. You have one life, one quest: yet you choose to surrender it to something you can’t possibly know anything about.

When people talk about faith, they're usually talking about the supernatural: God, angels, miracles, etc. There is, of course, lots of doubt involved because the supernatural is entirely outside the human (natural) realm. It's not so much that God or angels can't exist . . . the real point is that NOBODY has access to the supernatural and thus NOBODY knows ANYTHING about it. Anybody who claims to have faith in something he knows absolutely nothing about is actually confessing to placing his imagination before, and above, his intellect.

Imagination has its place . . . but not where life decisions are involved. Placing imagination above intellect is surrendering your quest for meaning. You are surrendering the meaning of your life to your religion; to your version of God.

And that's fine. Just be honest about it. You made a leap of faith. Your faith is a personal position – not a valid logical conclusion.

Answer 9

Zeus was a creation. The Creator ( GOD) existed before Zeus.

There for this clearly refutes your point.


By the way I am Muslim and want to answer this question on behlaf of Muslim Brothers and Christian Friends.

Answer 10

Actually, the oldest known named Deity that is still worshipped today is Pashupati, an aspect of Siva. He was known in the Indus Valley from about 6000 BCE.

Answer 11

You're wrong. The invisible pink unicorn who lives in my garage created Zeus, who then created god.

Prove me wrong. And if you cannot, I must therefore be right?

Let's think critically.
