Also, yes much of christian theology appears to be stolen from Egyptians and others. For example, the creation through sound. Also-creating the first human out of clay or dust. The word "adam" actually means clay, as a result of the material the god in both cases used to create him. Other things appear to be of pagan origin. For example-there is no christian significance of December 25. Nothing important in Christian history happened on that day. It was however the day of the Winter Solstice, and this solstice was the celebration of the return of the Sun, celebrated with gifts, candles, etc. The dominant pagan religion of the day was "Mithraism". Mithra was the Sun God, and he was born on December 25. This is the true nature of this date, it is the birthday of Mithra, not Jesus of Nazareth.
However, to make Christianity the state religion in the 4th Century C.E., Constantine had to appease these pagans-and make it a smooth transition. So many of their traditions and celebrations were adopted and became part of Christianity. I believe the only non-Pagan Christian holiday is Pentecost. All the others are stolen pagan holidays, including Easter.
And the "borrowed" theology is unlikely to stop there... see Mithra was also attended by 3 wise men following a star bearing gifts at his birth. Mithra was also born of a virgin. Mithra also raised the dead. Mithra also died, and rose 3 days later, and ascended to Heaven..... Since Mithra was first, it is clear that the Jesus story appears to be based on Mithra.
Mithra too is not the first or only god in history to do most of these things. Krishna dates back 1000 years before Jesus and also did most of these things (virgin birth, raising the dead, dying, being reborn, etc.). There are almost 40 gods before Jesus that did all the fancy things Jesus did. From that perspective, Jesus looks more like the flavor of the month (or millenium in this case) than the "one true god" to me. Man has invented over 10,000 gods throughout history-we should be suspect of all of them, ESPenis EnlargementCIALLY those that were created (or at least redefined) by politicians like Constantine.
