Is Jesus a knock off?
What if I told you something?
Would you believe me if I said that Jesus has nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing, in common with god's such as Horus, let alone, Adonis.
Firstly, let's look at the details surrounding Horus first.
Horus
Horus is a significant deity within the Egyptian pantheon, who was worshipped from around the time of pre-historic Egypt and lost slight favour around the time of the Ptolemaic kingdom/Roman rule.
Over the years there have been many variations of Horus, which corresponds roughly with how the Egyptians viewed reality in a multi-faceted way.
If you look up pictures of Horus, you are most likely to come across pictures of a half-man half-bird mash.
Unlike Jesus, who was always painted as a full man with a man's head, human neck, etc, etc.
Most critics of Christianity will often assert, often incorrectly that Horus was born of a virgin. (Enter classical studies, let's get that back into schools).
Virgin birth
Sorry to burst your misguided bubble here, but, Horus DID NOT HAVE a virgin birth. The mother of Horus, Isis, retrieved all the dismembered body parts of her husband Osiris, but she could not retrieve the phallus of her husband, so had to have a gold phallus made, she then placed it onto her husband and then she conceived Horus, from the golden phallus. Isis then went to hiding the very moment she found out she was pregnant, in which to hide from set, who originally killed Osiris in the first place, in which to protect Horus.
The difference between Jesus and Horus
1) Horus did not have 12 followers.
2) Horus did not have 12 disciples that were fisher men, tax collectors, etc.
3) Horus was not tempted in the forty days of fasting by satan with the wealth of the world.
4) Horus did not walk on water.
5) Horus never taught his followers the beatitudes in a sermon on the mount.
6) Osiris and Isis did not have to travel to Bethlehem to register.
7) there was no slaughter of infant males by a king Herod style figure in the Egyptian mythology.
8) Egyptian did not fast in any time of thier religious calendar.
1) Jesus had twelve followers.
2) the disciples of Jesus were fisher men, tax collectors, etc.
3) Jesus was tempted in his forty days of fasting by satan with the wealth of the world.
4) Jesus walked on water, Jesus also had one of his disciples walk on water.
5) Jesus gave a sermon on the mount, where he delivered the beatitudes to his massive throng of followers.
6) Mary and Joseph had to travel to Bethlehem to register with the local Roman rulers, Mary gave birth in a stable, visited by wise men.
7) Joseph warned to flee to Egypt with Mary and Jesus to escape the tyrannical mass killing of infants under two years of age, in a dream.
8) Jews, Muslims, Catholics fast during certain calendar dates in their religious calendar.
The same logic also applies to god's such as Adonis, and Mithras, although the claims are that those gods had virgin mother is purely fictitious in its nature.
The mother of adonis, myrrha, was by no means a virgin, she had intercourse with her own father, committing incest. She was transformed into a myrrh tree, possibly as punishment for having an incestous relationship with her father, she gave birth to Adonis as a tree.
Mithras has no actual mother, he was "born" in what can be deemed the longest night of the year, which in the northern hemisphere is December 21st/22nd. He was born after he beat the darkness. Mithraism is a Persian religion that is one of many that centers on a unique god but are not polytheistic in anyway.
A word on the zeitgeist movie
The Zeitgeist movie is where you will find the incorrect information concerning all of the above Gods/Godheads.
People are beginning now to question the validity of the zeitgeist movie, in which the creator (Peter Joseph) claimed that a critic of his production was mentally ill, simply just for disagreeing with the movie.
What is the zeitgeist about? Well the movie comes complete in three different sections. The first one being "the greatest story ever told" which covers religion.
The second part is "all the world is a stage" in which it is claimed that the government had known in advance what was going to happen on that fateful day on September the 11. It even goes onto say that it was all an inside job, if you had realised by now, the zeitgeist caters to the tin hat people. Part three of the movie is titled "don't mind the men behind the curtain" which looks at the world (through tin hat goggles) at how bankers and world leaders are trying to take over the world.
It is ironic when people would gladly place tin hats over thier noggings, and watch a movie called the zeitgeist, aptly, and treat it as absolute truth, but, then go onto preach to others that they shouldn't believe everything they read on the internet. The irony is astounding, even though the zeitgeist movie, is solely based on the realms of the internet, go on, look it up on youtube, it's there alright.
