    Did the really Christians copy common pagan beliefs or is Jesus the Christ something completely different?

    The people who claim that Jesus is just a rip off of other gods show they both don’t know Christian theology or the theology of the other faiths they point at when making these claims.
    You’d think the people who confess to practice Paganism/Heathenism would be rather upset that their deities are so woefully misrepresented for this type of argument and yet I see so many of them happily go along with it if it means bashing on Christians.
    Though to be fair, most people practicing modern day “Paganism” are really just larping at it because atheism is no longer “edgy” enough.

    And as to the dying and rising vegetation gods, there's a theory that Ulysses was originally one of them; of course, by the time "Odyssey" was written, he was fully humanised. This hypothesis states for example that Calypso(her name means "She who hides") is a personification of death, also the Pheaces' land might be analogous for underworld etc.

    Ontological core meaning is rarely discussed and in 1900s has become the most corrupting factors in all our lives on what paganism truly is.
    We still have the issue among Christians that even some follow the Huxley views that matter is Devine not definable. That environment dictates sin and one needs mediating governance who the prescribes extreme physical lawisms prescriptional structuralism. The following generations becomes 3 -degrees of motion/separation from the 1st position proper orientation and direction.
    It's a very paganized view that was so prenticous in the early 1900s that we stopped having debates on what is true" paganism" as the fall of st augustine works with limited understanding and he doesn't know time is not magically woven into the fabric of reality so this can get blurry. He doesn't know 1st position Newton says pretend clocklike solar systems then Einstein #2 On his horizon & he does just that he pretends & correlates standardized time with a photon, big bang cosmogony then adds to the silence of what paganism truly was & is at its core practices and meaning ontologically.
    Treatment of matter as Devine as opposed as definable is a very different outcome of alignment in thought about man & the world around us.
    Akkadians' dualism occurs, and the soulless naucturnal views about how we want reality to be becomes a local system that can be manipulated and evolved vs a triality of selfless avoidance of this type of subtle inadvertent confusion taking place as Jesus gives the ultimate sacrifice & tool by which nature itself becomes ( definable) not devine. To be ordered named and directed. When sir Issac Newton gets this unlocking the keys to the cosmos and man began eradicating needs and demands that drove good men to do bad things we learned a lot more about Jesus and its evidence is in the world we live in just as promised 2024 years ago.
    Which brings us to retrospect & why with pergatory docterine creating woke & old beliefs still treating Matter devine, as environment dictates who you are, as if nature is to blame for sins is a very antithetical thing to do both ( #1 in,2 thru 3 For
    It doesn't make you a pagan but does teach us real life how subtly easy it is to fall into paganism as we move into condensed urban living with pure intent to then start to despise your neighbors and get separated from nature becoming sensitive about it and how humans are destroyers Darwin & huxly style lol
    That's just how easy it is, nature is man's local system to govern it us very durable ans flexible no one knows better than those who live up close in it .

    I can't wait to rip this into pieces. This was atrociously bad. He is just wrong on the Baal Cycle. And he completely omits entire texts and various traditions about some of these gods. And nobody says Christianity is "copying pagan myths". At least nobody serious is. They simply say that these motifs are drawn upon. And for him to say "they would of made Jesus another vegetation-storm deity". Not in the Middle Platonist world of the 1st century. Vegetation gods are Pre-Platonic and Jesus, Aion, Eshmun Mithras are post-platonic and focus on the spiritual more than the natural. The only thing he is right about is saying that none of this means Jesus did not exist. But then that also shows that he contradicts his entire 1st half of this speech.

      _Empty Tomb, Apotheosis, Resurrection_ (2018), John Granger Cook:
      "The review in this chapter thoroughly justifies the continued use of the category of dying and rising gods. The resurrection of Osiris is the closest analogy to the resurrection of Jesus, although Osiris remains in the netherworld - wherever it is located. Horus's resurrection is a clear analogy. The rebirth or resurrection of Dionysus also provides a fairly close analogy to the resurrection of Jesus. The revival of Heracles and probably that of Melqart are also strong analogies. Dumuzi's, Baal's, and Adonis's returns from the netherworld are less useful as comparisons, but their power to overcome death is an important analogy to the NT. Lucian was willing to use the image of resurrection for Adonis's return from Hades. Traditions of a resurrection of Adonis and Attis are later than the Gospels, but are nevertheless in good continuity with those from earlier periods (e.g. that of Osiris).Just as the Greek of the LXX and NT has it's place in the matrix of classical Greek, so the resurrection of Christ can be placed in the matrix of the bodily resurrections of cult figures from the Mediterranean world. The comments by Justin, Tertullian, Theophilus, and Origen all indicate a willingness to examine pagan analoies to the birth and resurrection of Jesus. Dieter Zeller notes that according to the apologists, the Hellenistic divinities were not unimportant for the acceptance of the proclamation of the resurrection and ascension Jesus...
      This brief survey indicates fairly clearly that the category "dying and rising gods" is still useful to describe the vicissitudes of a number of ancient divinities. One does not need to adopt Frazer's approach using the concept of an annual dying and rising vegetation deity. Consequently, the thesis that the concept is dead cannot be sustained."
      _Tracing Orpheus: Studies of Orphic Fragments_ (2011), Paola Corrente:

Smith, who is likely the most eminent among the opposing voices... It is precisely in reference to this affirmation that I would like to present the case of three deities who are not usually considered among the 'dying and rising': the Greek Dionysus, the Sumerian Inanna, and the Ugaritic Baal. After discussing each myth I shall return to Smiths's assertions...
      This brief excursion through Greek and Near-Eastern mythology demonstrates that the idea of the death and resurrection of the gods is not as impossible as is usually argued. Moreover, the texts are ancient enough to consider them independently from the most famous case of the death and resurrection of a god, the history of Jesus. Perhaps it is time to discuss this famous and popular topic from a different perspective."
      _We are Being Transformed: Deification in Paul's Soteriology_ (2012), M David Litwa:
      "In the Syro-Palestinian city of Ugarit, the God Baal (the Lord) was said to battle Mot (Death) so that that the seasons could continue. Initially, Baal makes himself the servant of Mot (CTA 5.2.11 - 12, 19 - 20). Then, in a tragic defeat, he is swallowed by Mot and dies (5.6.8 - 10). He is then buried on the sacred mount (6.1.15 - 18), and mourned. In response, the Goddess Anat-driven by furious grief-(quite literally) sifts Death like wheat (6.2.30 - 37), and Baal is raised to life. The resurrected Baal then retakes his place as vice regent of El (chief deity in the Ugaritic pantheon), called “Father of Years” (5.6.2; 6.1.35 - 36). El himself proclaims after the resurrection: “For Mightiest Baal lives, the Prince, Lord of the Earth, is alive!” (6.3.20 - 21). In a future climactic combat, Baal then defeats Mot himself. “Then B[aa]l [is enthroned] on his royal throne, [On the resting place], the throne of his dominion” (6.5.5 - 6; 6.6.33 - 35)."

      _We are Being Transformed: Deification in Paul's Soteriology_ (2012), M David Litwa:
      "In the Syro-Palestinian city of Ugarit, the God Baal (the Lord) was said to battle Mot (Death) so that that the seasons could continue. Initially, Baal makes himself the servant of Mot (CTA 5.2.11 - 12, 19 - 20). Then, in a tragic defeat, he is swallowed by Mot and dies (5.6.8 - 10). He is then buried on the sacred mount (6.1.15 - 18), and mourned. In response, the Goddess Anat-driven by furious grief-(quite literally) sifts Death like wheat (6.2.30 - 37), and Baal is raised to life. The resurrected Baal then retakes his place as vice regent of El (chief deity in the Ugaritic pantheon), called “Father of Years” (5.6.2; 6.1.35 - 36). El himself proclaims after the resurrection: “For Mightiest Baal lives, the Prince, Lord of the Earth, is alive!” (6.3.20 - 21). In a future climactic combat, Baal then defeats Mot himself. “Then B[aa]l [is enthroned] on his royal throne, [On the resting place], the throne of his dominion” (6.5.5 - 6; 6.6.33 - 35)."

    Fact is, there is something like 400,000 versions of the bible in existence today (that’s versions, not translations). The major religions can’t even agree on how many books there are in the bible so how can anyone possibly know that their bible is “the real deal”?
    We don’t have the original manuscripts. What we have are copies of copies of copies of … you get the idea. In many cases the copyists didn’t even speak the language they were copying. And don’t forget the little matter of translations of translations of copies of translations ….
    ...While some events in the Bible can be verified, historians do not consider the Bible as a historical reference text. Instead, they look for primary documents and archaeological evidence as better sources of historical events than the Bible.
    The early stories are held to have a historical basis that was reconstructed centuries later, and the stories possess at most only a few tiny fragments of genuine historical memory, which by their definition are only those points which are supported by archaeological discoveries.
    It’s very easy to find the roots of Christianity in other religions. For example, both the garden of eden and The flood were taken from Gilgamesh, Moses is taken straight from Sargon of Akkad. Even the story of Jesus is borrowed from multiple other gods/religions. These were all before the bible was compiled.
    No question that the Bible has been altered and edited over the centuries.
    It’s easy to point out some of those changes - everyone is familiar with the story of Jesus and the adulteress (“let he who is without sin …”). While it’s a great story with a worthwhile moral it doesn’t appear in any version of the bible before the 12th century. By the same token - in the oldest bibles in our possession, the Gospel according to Mark ended with Mark 16:8. Everything after that (9-20) was added at a later date, probably so that it would agree with Matthew (which was apparently copied, in large part, from Mark).
    “The scholar John Mill, no apparent relation of the philosopher John Stuart Mill, published a Greek New Testament in 1707 that showed 30,000 different available readings from only 100 manuscripts at his disposal. He was accused of trying to destroy Christianity by pointing out the truth. … We now have over 57,000 different manuscripts available and contemporary scholars believe there are between 300,000 and 400,000 different versions of the New Testament. That is more different versions of the New Testament than there are words in it. Since we don’t have any original documents, or copies, or copies of the copies, etc., we have no idea which of these 400,000 variations is the perfect one. Frankly, it boggles the mind that someone could imagine that if 400,000 different versions have come down to us that there could be one ‘perfect’ version.”
    Eberhard Nestle estimated this number in 1897 as 150,000-200,000 variants.
    In 2014 Eldon J. Epp raised the estimate as high as 750,000. Peter J. Gurry puts the number of non-spelling variants among New Testament manuscripts around 500,000, though he acknowledges his estimate is higher than all previous ones.
    Jesus for instance, has been compared to a broad variety of figures from various mythological traditions within the Mediterranean Basin, including, Horus, Dionysus, Mithras, Sol Invictus, Osiris, Asclepius, Attis, and Adonis.
    For instance Osiris was crucified, died and rose up on the third day.
    The New Testament was written in Greek, as well. And for the first few centuries CE, there was a great deal of influence from Hellenistic (Greek) philosophy onto Christianity, from the very idea of a “Christ”, or savior, to the Platonic ideas of the soul and afterlife, which was largely foreign to the Jewish tradition.
    Jesus was a Christian form of the Greek god Dionysus. He argues that the indisputable parallels between Dionysus and Jesus were one of the key factors that facilitated the adoption of Christianity by the ancient Greeks, who initially practiced polytheistic paganism.
    Yes, folks, but Ixion was crucified for the sins of mankind. Similar story with Dionysus, Mithra, Krishna, Horus and the rest of the mythical god-men. Jesus Christ is the Jews god-man to the pagans.
    It's as simple as that.

    Trinity is ancient paganism.
    Egyptian Trinity
    Father Osiris, mother Isis and son Horus
    Hindu Trinity
    Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva
    Christian Trinity
    Father, son Jesus and Holy Spirit
    "If Paganism was conquered by Christianity, it is equally true that Christianity was corrupted by Paganism. The pure Deism of the first Christians . . . was changed, by the Church of Rome, into the incomprehensible dogma of the trinity. Many of the pagan tenets, invented by the Egyptians and idealized by Plato, were retained as being worthy of belief."

      The Trinity only exists within the frane work of monotheism. If you aren't a monotheist, it's utter nonsense. Neither the Babylonians nor the Egyptians had any notion of a trinity, because they never distinguished between person and substance
