Egyptian=Christianity

[Sachiel]

Egyptian mythology was adapted by the early Israelites and was altered and reprinted as the Old Testament.
The New Testament was based off several miscellaneous religions, but still mainly from Egyptian Mythology.
Emperor Constantine along with a council later decided what from the Old and New Testament would become what we today call "The Bible".
He originally created it for Social and Political power.
Christianity is technically a polytheistic religion, but most people misinterpret the Angels as messengers. Example: Sachiel, Angel of Water. Ramiel, Angel of Thunder,
Sahaquiel, Angel of the Sky.
You cannot find any of the angels original purpose in any modern Bible.
Jesus: Born on 12/25, born from a virgin, visited by The Three Kings, 12 disciples, betrayed by one and crucified.
Horus: Born on 12/25, born from a "virgin", visited by the Kings from the East, 12 disciples, betrayed by one and executed.

*NOTE* If this thread is deleted it just proves that you can't disprove my argument and can only resort to deleting it.

Blasphemy?
I call it common sense.

P.S. IT WAS THE ROMANS WHO KILLED JESUS GET IT RIGHT YOU IDIOTS.

Jews=Elephants. See, I can make nonsensical statements too, but that doesn't make them true now does it?

Yes Blind Faith in a 2000 year old book makes much more sense.

How many people did Charles Manson physically kill? Once you can answer that, ask yourself, is he still responsible for all those deaths, is he still a murderer?

As for the rest of your post, Brother Temp demonstrated the inadequacies of your "arguments" perfectly.

Horus: Born on 12/25, born from a "virgin", visited by the Kings from the East, 12 disciples, betrayed by one and executed.

It looks like someone has seen the Zeitgeist movie and believed what he saw on faith. Did you notice that they failed to back up any of their claims with any evidence?

If you want to be taken seriously, please find a scholarly source that shows that Horus was "born on 12/25, born from a 'virgin', visited by the Kings from the East, 12 disciples, betrayed by one and executed."

Yes, blind faith in a Godless tribe of sand nigras who lived 3,000 years ago and worshipped cats and dogs, that makes much more sense, right?

We worship Jesus, not Zeus, ok?

MISINTERPRET??
You don't know what the word angel actually means, do you?
"Misinterpreting" 'angel' as meaning 'messenger' is about as likely as "misinterpretating" 'car' as meaning 'car'...
Angel MEANS messenger, you total fool!

You cannot find any of the angels original purpose in any modern Bible.

So where did YOU find this mysterious "original purpose" then?
Up your sodomy ravaged behind most likely..

Jesus: Born on 12/25, born from a virgin, visited by The Three Kings, 12 disciples, betrayed by one and crucified.
Horus: Born on 12/25, born from a "virgin", visited by the Kings from the East, 12 disciples, betrayed by one and executed.

You obviously hasn't researched this very well I see...
Obviously, you've simply read some BS on some stupid new-age site and swallowed their nonsense hair and all..
Or you've watched a movie.. *cough* Zeitgeist *cough*

P.S. IT WAS THE ROMANS WHO KILLED JESUS GET IT RIGHT YOU IDIOTS.

Oh.. And you know this how? Were you there?
The Bible says it was the jews who wanted Him killed, and seeing as it's the only contemporary source..
Well.. Let's just say it weights alot heavier than your opinions.


Come back when you actually know what you're talking about, fool.

Re: Egyptian=Christianity

There is a nugget of God's truth in that first post, though most of it is fruitcake.

Scholars note that before Christ there were certain cult figures who were sacrificed, journeyed to Hell, and then were resurrected. Dionysus and Osiris are the prime examples.

Atheists sometimes claim that the story of Jesus was actually cobbled together from these pre-existing myths.

However, that is false.

The greatest event in the history of the universe was God's manifestation on Earth as Jesus the Christ. This event was of course pre-existant in God's eternal knowledge, along with the knowledge of what Baruch Spinoza would have for breakfast on May 15th, 1663.

This was prefigured in prophecy -- the incarnation of the Christ, not Spinoza's breakfast! -- and also physically prefigured in legends like those of Dionysus and Osiris.

You see, the Miraculous Incarnation was so incredibly significant that it echoes not only forward in time -- as a historical record -- but also backwards in time. These reverse-time echoes are, unlike the historical record of the Bible, strangely distorted and illogical. Dionysus and Osiris are not the true and accurate record of the Christ's death and resurrection because these myths have passed backwards through time instead of propagating forward.

This backward propagation is a process that may be compared to light passing through a series of rippled panes of glass, or through a see-through blouse. The main outline of the crucial events are present, but fuzzy and blurred. The warped legends of Dionysus and Osiris now come down to us as "pre-existing" legends strangely similar to the Passion of the Christ.

Indeed, these legends are proof positive of the incredible, unique impact of God's choice to manifest on Earth as a human being.

Praise the Lord!

Those “angels” are from some Medieval magic book and you got their descriptions wrong you ignorant dumbass.

You cannot find any of the angels original purpose in any modern Bible.

Because we Christians aren’t into playing Medieval Sorcerer.

Re: Egyptian=Christianity

One-Eyed Jack, may I just say that yours is one of the finest arguments refuting the old "they just stole it from the pagans" line that I have ever heard. You have stated it in a much more elegant and sophisticated way than I, a woman, could ever dream of doing.

For consider a hurricane: it starts out slowly with winds and showers--harbingers of what is to come. As it coalesces around its center it picks up speed and power until, at full strength (i.e., the "main event,") it wreaks havoc so intense that those, if any, left alive in the peace after it passes can only shake their heads and praise the Lord for having spared them. So, you see, Christianity is as pure as nature itself!

A final note to Sachiel: Emperor Constantine only allowed Christianity to be practiced during his reign. He only converted to it himself on his deathbed. It's called "covering one's ass."

THAT has to be the most convoluted explanation I've ever come across:"Passing backwards in time" indeed!

So...um where would the legend of Isis restoring Osiris fit in,then?

What are you referring to? I can't immediatly think of any 2000 year old book i should have blind faith in?


It should be written about 8 years after Jesus was born or something like that.

Re: Egyptian=Christianity

Lilith, the pre-echoes are warped and distorted. Isis' resurrection of Osiris is, I suppose, a blurred version of God's resurrection of Jesus.

Wickedpedia has this to say about the resemblance of Osiris-Dionysus and Christ Jesus:

The Pagan and Christian practices are strikingly similar: bread and wine as the body and blood, resurrection on the third day, virgin birth to a father who is a god, etc. Christian apologists charged the devil of (sic) copying Jesus' life into the past.

Note that last line, blaming the Devil for the prefiguring of Christ's passion in pagan legends. I tend to reject that, on the grounds that God would not allow His most holy act to be mocked by the snarky old Devil.

Another online encyclopedia quotes Dr. Ernst Duurnacker on the possibility of time-echoes, or "ripples" as he calls them:

"Very well: imagine that time is a duckpond. A pebble falls into the water at one end -- the past -- and another at the far end, which is the future. The ripples from these events propagate throughout time, and where they intersect and interfere strange patterns form. These patterns, they persist, they grow and change. But they are not real things, not ab-original! No, not at all. They arise only from the interactions of disturbances in time, in the Ur-field."

"These patterns, they are you and me."

While Duurnacker's philosophy is blatantly pagan, the essential mechanism of temporal mutability seems clear.

We should remember that God created the entire immense cosmos -- the most distant quasars spewing unimaginable energies into the void, the twisted filaments surrounding exploded stars, vast solar storms larger than the Earth, gravitational vortexes that can rip a planet to atoms in a moment. And yet He chose to manifest Himself as a mortal being only once in that entire cosmos: as a carpenter and rustic preacher who lived in Iron Age Palestine on a small planet in an otherwise unexceptional bit of a mediocre galaxy.

Surely it is not unreasonable that His unique and perfect act echoed throughout all time and space.
