Question

The Osiris myth reached its basic form in or before the 24th century BCE.

The similarities are uncanny.

Answer 1

Satan was around when Jehovah promised a seed or an offspring of a woman, who will save mankind at Genesis 3:15.



To blind people, Satan started providing 'sons' to accomplish this, in an attempt to confuse "Who the real seed or offspring" was actually from God.



He has succeeded in this scam so well, that even the trinitarians have bought into his form of the seed, by making Jesus a man/God.



(Deuteronomy 6:4) 4 “Listen, O Israel: Jehovah our God is one Jehovah.

 

Was a direct statement denying the trinities of Satan.

Answer 2

There is no Jesus myth.  Time for you to grow up.

Answer 3

Sorry; I can't spend that much time on a video. But I've looked into this before, and the similarities between Osiris myths and Christian stories don't arise until at least the fourth century of the common era--by which time Christianity had been well established in Egypt for at least a couple centuries. 

 

The earlier myths, before Christian influence, are known, and they have very little resemblance to Christian stories. 

 

For instance, it's often claimed that Horus was the result of a "virgin birth." But the pre-Christian myth is rather the opposite of any suggestion of virginity. A rather astonishing prosthetic, yes; an absence of sexual intercourse, emphatically no.

Answer 4

No.  Christ was the foundation of Christianity.



While there are many people who believe that the details and miracles of Jesus life were changed and embellish over decades, that is simply not true.  the three earliest accounts of Jesus life appear to have been written less then 20 years after he lived.  They are already being quoted in other writings by that time.  And at east one of them predates the conversion and teachings of the apostle Paul.  Paul, in his first letter to the Corinthians, includes over 20 phrases and two longer quotes from the gospel of Luke.  This was written in 55 AD, or with 25 years of the crucifixion of Jesus.  



There are also the writings of the Jewish Talmud, that includes writings by the actual Jewish leaders that conducted the trial of Jesus.  They wrote that he was a teacher, healer and miracle worker.  The write about his execution by the Romans, and about how his body disappeared from its tomb three days later with his follower claiming that he had raised from the dead.  Why would people who opposed Jesus and his teachings have supported these events (that they lived through with him) if they were not true?



Sorry, but there was no time for a "myth" to grow up around Jesus.  His miracles were already seen as established fact within 15 years of his lifetime.



Had the Jewish leaders wanted to kill the Christian faith, they could have just reminded the people - since it was only 15 years later - that Jesus never did any of those things.  And they could have presented his body or pointed to his tomb.  Instead they stated that the events were true and that his body had disappeared.



Keep in mind that Osiris was a deity that was worshipped for more than 1,000 years across many cultures that ruled in Egypt over that time.  If you read through the myth about him, they vary all over the place.



The author of that list made a list of things that are well known about Jesus and then went through the hundreds of different myths about Osiris and picked one thing from here and one from there that were similar and then ignored the thousands of things that were not.



The "scholarship" behind that list is nonsense.

Answer 5

Actually, the similarities you see are only in your own mind.



Edit:  Angry, juli?  Not hardly.  Just tired of people trying to make a connection where none exists.

Answer 6

Isaiah  Pharaoh is a man not God Jesus Christ is the suffering servant  Isaiah 53

Answer 7

While it is very likely that Christianity was influenced by the current philosophies of the time and potentially by other religions like the Osiris myth, it is extremely hard to do anything but speculate about it.  Clearly no writer has left documentation about how they designed Christianity.



However, several authors have pointed out that there were other cults contemporary to Christianity that made use of the resurrected god theme.

Answer 8

Most religions borrowed beliefs from earlier religions.  Hercules' father was a god.  His mother was a mortal women.  Hercules was killed by men and ascended to be with his god father.  Pretty much the same as the Christ myth.

Answer 9

That and Asclepius, Heracles, Dionysus, Attis, Mithras, Tammuz. The jews didn't have a virgin birth story.

Answer 10

no ...............................



Any similarities are due to the fact that, since Adam and Eve, people knew there was a Messiah who would come some day. 

Answer 11

I'd always heard it was the Horus mythos, not Osiris.

Answer 12

No. The alleged similarities are not found in original Egyptian sources but were made up by New Age Occultists as a way to make their religion seem better by comparison.

Answer 13

Has anyone else said this?

Answer 14

The Osiris myth has been continuously revised and rewritten, since the advent of Christianity, as have many similar myths and stories.

Answer 15

Osiris is one of the many Eqyptian false gods; god of the dead.

The connection to our Lord is far from paganism.



Remember, the demonic realm was on earth well before the fall of man.

Therefore, the satanic playground was skillfully manipulating planned events in a generic/global way to cause a lot of confusion.



Furthermore, the demons retained their supernatural abilities, although severed from God they still have cunning and clever methods.

Answer 16

It might be but either way, its BS.

Answer 17

Friend haven't you ever heard the story of the first Christmas tree that took place 5000 years ago Nimrod a mighty hunter in opposition to God had sex with his own mother he invented a story about an angel from heaven coming down and causing his mother to have a virgin child and he commanded all of his subjects to worship that child and to bring gifts to that child of money of gold and silver and precious items he set up a tree with oil lamps and he placed the child in a cradle high and exalted nestled in a tree and he commanded everybody to come worship the holy child this mockery of the promised Christ displeased God and he sent a wind and the child fell from the tree the oil lamps came crashing down the entire thing burst into flames the child was killed and in a fit of rage Nimrod killed all of his guests and his mother! People have been copying the story of the promised Messiah since the very beginning of time since the story was made known to Adam and Eve somebody has tried to copy it and pretend that they were the Messiah

Answer 18

In part. It is actuall a mish mash of different mythology stories/ Example, the magical mother and child, Isis and Horus. There is bits of Mythras in there as well.

Answer 19

It was cobbled together using that, and a couple of other cult beliefs, like mithras.

Answer 20

How can a myth be the foundation of reality?
