I know alot of people believe in the biblical character Jesus, but how about this. I was reading a book the other day and the author began to talk about the origins of Judaism and Christianity. Here is a summary of what he said.
The story of Jesus is a mythical story based on esoteric symbolism of the Sun God. Hence Jesus is the "Son of God". The crown of thorns that he wore on the cross is symbolic of the rays of Sun, and is also seen on the Statue of Liberty (which is another symbolic figure). The cross itself comes from the Egyptian Ankh, which represents life and light, the Sun.
The trinity Jesus-God-Holy Spirit parallels many other mythical stories such as Horus-Osiris-**** (Egypt). Similarities between Horus and Jesus?
Jesus was the way, the truth and the life. Horus was the truth and the life.
Both the Good Shephard
Both were the lamb
Both are identified with a cross
Both were baptised at 30
Jesus was child of a virgin, Mary. Horus was the child of a virgin, ****.
The birth of both are marked by a star
Both were the child teacher in the temple
Jesus had 12 disciples. Horus had 12 followers
Jesus was the Morning Star. Horus was the Morning Star.
Jesus was the Christ. Horus was the Krst
Jesus was tempted on a mountain by Satan. Horus was tempted on a mountain by Set (Egyptian god of darkness, hence sun-Set)
Jesus was said to be judge of the ****. This was also said about ****, Krishna, Buddha, Ormuzd, Osiris, Aeacus and others.
Jesus is the Alpha and Omega, the first and last. So was Krishna, Buddha, Lao-Kiun Bacchus, Zeus and others.
Jesus performed miracles like healing the sick, raising the ****. So did Krishna(Hindu), Buddha, Zoroaster, Bochia, Horus, Osiris, Serapis, Marduk, Bacchus, Hermes and others.
Jesus was born of royal blood. So was Buddha, Rama, Fo-hi, Horus, Hercules, Bacchus, Perseus and others.
Jesus was born to a virgin. So was Krishna, Buddha, Lao-kiun, Confusius, Horus, Ra, Zoroaster, Prometheus, Perseus, Apollo, Mercury, Baldur, Quetzalcoatl (Mexican not mayan though) and far more.
Jesus will be born again. So will Krishna, Vishnu, Buddha, Quetzalcoatl and others.
The story of Jesus was created/recycled and used as a tool to enslave people's minds through a dictatorial religion, Christianity. This religion is not unique in any way.
The twelve disciples are symbolism for the twelves solar bodies (yes there are twelve) and twelve astrological signs. 12 is all over the place.
During Easter, the summer solstice, the sun begins to stay out shorter and shorter until its shortest length of time in December. Jesus was born on December 25th. It takes the Sun three days to recover from the winter solstice from December 21st/22nd to December 25th. He dies in March on Easer. Hence Jesus died and rose on the third day. The same length of time it took the Babylon Son of God, Tammuz to rise again.
Also March is during the astrological sign of Aries, the Ram or... the lamb.
Jesus is associated with the fish because that is when he was supposed to have been born. During the entering of the astrological house of Pisces not the sign. Astrological houses last somewhere around 2000+ years. We are now entering the house of Aquarious.
The Christian religious day is... SUNday.
The author then speaks about who the true authors of the New Testament are. Let me assure you they are not Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Peter, Paul or any of these Biblical characters.
As a matter of fact there is no documentation of anybody by these names ever to have been in these places at this time outside of the Bible. There is nobody named Pontius Pilate except in the Bible.
There is no written history of anybody named Moses, King David, King Solomon or most of the Biblical characters you read about except in the Bible. These are characters aer more symbolism that I could get into.
I have no problem with anybody's religious beliefs I just think it's necessary to do the research before you make that comittment.
So did Jesus really live? Or is he a biblical character that has been created and so hyped up that the whole world accepts him as LORD without looking at background information. Jesus was a duplicate, myth, and he has been used to control the populations to this day. Have you ever thought about where these religions came from? and why is Bush claiming to be a Christian? And why have so many wars been started in the past because of religion? And why was there centuries of Dark Ages when knowledge was suppressed because of religion? And why were so many people slaughtered at the inquisition because of RELIGION? It's because religion is a tool, a quite effective one at that.
CEO, can you see how the link you put up is so biased towards Christianity. They say off that bat the Christianity is the one true religion. That's bogus there is plenty more "truth" than what Christianity is offering. Half your post came straight off the web page! You just took what they said as fact.
Ive been where you are but I cannot and will not deny what I have experienced in the church. If you have any further questions maybe you should talk with God... :arrow: Does it hurt to even try??

Ummmmmmmm
Like I said...........
I KNEW You wasnt gonna believe that site.............
so um...........
Like I said...........
Do tha Research yourself!!!
Go to Library......
SIMON GREENLEAF..........
Read the books HE wrote.........
and HE was an Atheist..........
I knew you would say something about that link......
too predictable the ways of the non believers are
I guess you are saying that I should try praying. Now if by praying you mean assuming a posture and then talking to a being I believe exists outside of me I find no reason to do that.
I can't speak for you but I think you have the idea that God is a being that lives outside of you, watches you, loves you, and helps you when you ask and need it.
I believe that being is inside me and you, or rather he/she/it is me experiencing life through my/his eyes. To put it in another way I think that I am just one division of the supreme energy and personality that is god the source. So if I want to know something I go inside, what feels right to me or my divinity. If I want something to happen in my life I simply intend for it to happen and it will manifest because the god energy inside me attracted that reality to itself for me to experience.
So that's how I know Christianity is fishy because they trying to tell me that God is God and Man is Man and is sinful by nature because of Adam. That doesn't feel right to me. I think that is what Jesus (if he lived) really wanted to say, that we all are god, but his message was distorted into one where we worship him, instead of honoring ourselves and each other.
I think that is where a lot of societal problems stem from, a lack of true identity, so we do things to fulfill that void. But let me stop here.
^^^No that's exactly not it. Man you've got to realise that you don't have all the answers. Nothing is how it seems.
You are telling me to research some Greenleaf for what? his research is hella old if he's a founder Harvard. Have you read his books? Tell me about it.
The only source your website uses is the Bible. Apparently THEY didn't do the research. This is so humurous. Do you even know who wrote the Bible? Is the Bible gonna tell you that it's false or is it gonna say it's the word of god. You can't define a word using that word. You can't say this book is divine because the book says it is divine.
Even if Jesus did exist then what it doesn't change anything about the story that is being slandered in his name. The fact that his story is not unique and that there is symbolism still stands.
Are you gonna question your own beliefs or are you gonna keep telling me to question mine. At least mine is not something that was fed to me since I was born.
I already told you that I respected your beliefs.
Yeah you told me you respected mine...........
but does that mean I have to repsect yours????
Nah..........
I dont think so............
who wrote the bible you say????
Well more people then you would think........
I know that King James GREATLY Edited the bible for his own benefit..........
this I know...........
so.......
Question my own beliefs???
bruh I PRAY for your sake that you don't live to the Rapture..........
Cause you will feel pretty dumb.........
but sadly enough...........
the way things are going..........
you just might............
and Maybe you will think back on this moment..........
and Know..........
That there is ONE true God..........
And not this Atheistic stuff your talking about
