He was born of a virgin, on december 25th. his birth was celebrated by 3 men who followed a star in the east to adorn him with gifts. at the age of 12, he was known as a prodigy child teacher. he was baptized at age 30. and by 33, he was dead because 1 of his 12 deciples sold him out. 3 days later, he rose from the dead and ascended to heaven.

you probably think im talking about Jesus dont you? well, i could be. but im also talking about Horus, an ancient egyptian god. except this story was written about 3300 bc. it is also the same story of Mithra (persia), and Dionysus (greece); all of which were before Jesus.

there once was a great flood commanded by god. and an order came from god to build an arc. the story of noah? perhaps. but it is the same story as the epic of gilgamesh--in 2600 bc.

then there is the story of a young infant who was placed in a basket and sent down river to avoid infantacide. he was then rescued and raised by royalty. he grew into a man of the law, one some knew to give commandments set forth by god himself. sound familiar? the story of moses maybe? its also the story of manou of india, minos of crete, and mises of egypt. manou, minos, mises, moses. hmm. those 10 commandments sound familiar. oh yea.. spell 125 of the egyptian book of the dead. yep, theyre all there.

He was born of a virgin, by immaculate conception on december 25th. his birth was celebrated by 3 men who followed a star in the east to adorn him with gifts. at the age of 12, he was known as a prodigy child teacher. he was baptized at age 30. and by 33, he was dead because 1 of his 12 deciples sold him out. 3 days later, he rose from the dead and ascended to heaven.

It's almost as if the same stories were told all over the world because God loves all of his Children. Perhaps these are all prophecies that have been recorded. Who knows.

He was born of a virgin, by immaculate conception on december 25th.

I may have gotten a bit glassy-eyed in Sister Mary Margret's class, but I am fairly certain that the Immaculate Conception refers to Mary being conceived without the stain (maccula in Latin) of original sin. I think it is celebrated early in Advent.

Dec 25 is the traditional celebration of the birth of Jebus. (and the conception of no one)

:cool:

This theory (tying Horus to Christ) is being pushed by a guy named Tom Harpur, whose book "The Pagan Christ" was based upon the research of three 19th century researchers: Alvin Boyd Kuhn, Godfrey Higgins and Gerald Massey. Problem is, none of them were considered to be top Egyptologists of their age. In fact, Kuhn was a high school teacher. The other two - well, lets just say that in the subsequent 150 years, we've become a LOT better at interpreting hieroglyphics, and most of their work is considered bunk.

For instance: Horus was celebrated on December 21, not 25.

I'm not going to address every assertion in your post. Some might be true but don't matter; some are subject to interpretation; some are flat-out wrong. I do encourage you to look into this further, though - a little info isn't a bad thing.

[soonerinabilene]

And by "research you've been doing", you mean that you just watched Zeitgeist and think that it is the absolute truth, with no fabrications at all, right?:rolleyes:

[shaun4411]

i actually looked up information on egyptian and greek mythology. theyre all very similar and for some good reasons. and it is interesting to me how pagan beliefs comes into play with some world religions.

[frankensooner]

Dang, and all this time I thought Horace was the guy who couldn't get married because he couldn't afford a carriage.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

So research is the word to use when I google?

[swardboy]

Well zippity doo dah...look what I googled.

Freke and Gandy approach this project with no scholarly credentials and present a totally baseless thesis. For starters their assertion that Jesus of Nazareth was a fictional person modeled after the likes of Dionysus and Mithra predicated upon the legend of the Jewish Messiah is completely unsubstantiated and a worthless argument. Besides the New Testament accounts written a generation after Jesus' ministry, we also possess the writings of Josephus, Tacitus, and Pliny which attest to Jesus' historicity and validate the fact that he did exist. Even the most liberal New Testament scholars associated with the Jesus Seminar(Crossan, Borg, etc.) believe Jesus existed and that there is enough historical documentation to validate this fact, they just believe the New Testament accounts are theological documents and not purely historical. If Freke and Gandy were to present their thesis in front of liberal and orthodox New Testament scholars they would be laughed out of the auditorium; Especially since they base their Jesus didn't exist assumption on outdated 19th century research.Now to handle the central argument of the book; The claim that Jesus was just a Jewish version of the dying/rising god myth. They first compare Jesus to Mithras an Iranian based deity who became popular in the Roman empire. Here's the problem, Freke and Gandy assume Iranian Mithraism and Roman Mithraism were the same religions. In fact, the latest scholarship has revealed they are not and are vastly different systems of religion that just share the name of the god in question. Freke and Gandy use Cumont and pre Cumont sources as their primary source material and it was Cumont who erroneously assumed that Iranian and Roman Mithraism were the same, when in fact they are not. The Iranian Mithras did predate Christ but he never slew the cosmic bull, he wasn't crucified, he never promised his followers eternal life, and he didn't do a host of other things that Jesus did. Mithras was just the offspring of one of the gods in the polytheistic pantheon and he wasn't particularly important.
Here are some of the other facts Freke and Gandy conveniently ignore. Scenes depicting the birth of Mithras do not show him being born of a virgin but out of a rock, and he is a fully formed adult. The shepherds don't come to worship him they stumble upon his birth by chance and assist him in removing himself from the rock. His supposed 12 disciples represent the 12 phases of the procession of the zodiac. Mithras wasn't crucified to atone for sins, the Roman Mithras(the one which arose contemporaneously or after Christianity) killed the cosmic bull for world peace not for an atonement for sin. Mithras didn't die and there is absolutely no historical motif for his resurrection so wildly asserted by Freke and Gandy. And the grand claim that Mithras said his followers must eat his flesh and drink his blood comes not from some systematic treatise describing Mithraic belief but a medieval text in which Zarathustra speaks. Freke and Gandy are grasping at straws by trying to assert that the Iranian Mithras spoke these words when they have absolutely NO source material to substantiate this claim.
Now for the great Dionysus connection. First, the Eleusis mysteries were not celebrated in honor of Dionysus, but Demeter and Dionysus. It was not Dionysus who promised initiates eternal life, but the goddess Demeter. The extant Greek sources indicate that this was a ceremony primarily in honor of Demeter and not for Dionysus. This is nothing more than misleading deception on the part of the authors to construct their amusing thesis. The rituals celebrated commemorated the arrival of Spring and the renewal of living things; Demeter as the goddess of grain restored the crops, while Dionysus as the god of wine restored the vine. The elements of bread and wine that comprised the entheogen in the ceremony signified both Demeter and Dionysus, not just Dionysus as the dying and resurrected god who grants eternal life as the authors claim. Moreover, Dionysus was not crucified to atone for sin he was a dying and rising god in that he represented the restoration of life each year. Looking at the statues of Dionysus one can see that he is depicted as an adolescent, adult and old man because he ages each year, dies, and then is reborn anew. The Dionysus myth has it's roots in the mother goddess and consort myth where the goddess gives birth to her consort each year, mates with him, consumes him, and then gives birth to him anew to renew life each year. Dionysus played the role of the consort while several other mythical figures represented the goddess(Demeter, Persephone, Ariadne, etc). This is totally different from the Christian claim that Christ died once, then rose again for all time to defeat death and sin. There are many myths surrounding the birth of Dionysus: One has him born of Semele and Zeus and no one knows for sure whether Semele was a virgin, but the other myth has Dionysus born of Zeus and Persephone(the goddess who was married to Hades, hardly virginal), and when the Olympians kill Dionysus, Zeus has him reborn by planting an embryo in his leg and carrying the child to term.
These are just a few of the differences and inconsistencies present in this work. With more time and more effort I could provide much more, but this suffices to show how this work is poor and unscholarly. If anyone actually takes the time to research the latest scholarly material on Mithras and Dionysus one will find that the few similarities are outweighed by the vast amount of differences between these mythical gods and Jesus Christ.

No. If it's google, thats just search. If it's wikipedia, that's research.

[Frozen Sooner]

?

I thought it was research when you put a different term into Google.

[oufan1]

While there are writings about Horus that suggests he predated Christ there are no writings that suggest the Jesus Horus similarities until long after Christ.

In other words Horus was changed to a copy of Christ and since Horus "lived" before Christ uneducated people simply believe that Christ copied Horus and not the other way around.

Show me one text, manuscript writing, anything that PREdates Christ or the Bible for that matter that makes the claims that people today are making about Horus.

Absolutely, encouraging (I would stop sort of "inciting") conversations and debate among people who have different points of view, and learning how others feel about a subject, those things are absolutely the point of a public forum. However, you had to know that the subject matter, and the way you couched it, was going to elicit some pretty strong responses from people on this board (and I'm pleasantly surprised that they've restrained themselves). THAT, I would say, borders on flamebaiting.

All I'm saying is that this is mighty ambitious subject matter for a thread started by someone who first registered on this board two months ago, and until this week had never posted.

I may have gotten a bit glassy-eyed in Sister Mary Margret's class, but I am fairly certain that the Immaculate reception refers to Mary being conceived without the stain (maccula in Latin) of original sin. I think it is celebrated early in Advent.

Dec 25 is the traditional celebration of the birth of Jebus. (and the conception of no one)

:cool:

What does Franco Harris have to do with any of this debate?????
