Jesus name and only jesus name has spread world wide like no others, none of the other pagan Gods name has spread like this to all corners of the globe. Wouldn't it seem that he has Gods only backing?

1. jesus did have twelve apostles and the all gave account of him. They were all living during his life and he gave them instructions on how to minister
his sacrafice. You believe other wise thats fine with me.
See what you don't knowis why you created this post.
Do you reallly search for God? are you really interested in posting the similarities or do you just want to (cram) this down christians throats?
when you said makes you think, does that mean you posted it out of spite?
You see, I know why you posted this and you know why, im not mad at you for this but dont act like you know why I am a christian or others are. Do you jezebel believe in one of these stories? Does God? who is God and who does he back?
If God is one and believes in one truth and all these men believe in different then which one is of God? Do you look for that answer?
Why do I believee in Jesus? I have searched for justice and he showed himself to me, before I heard of him I went to church (4) times in my life when I was too young to know who jesus was. i was never taught of him nor heard of him until three years ago, and through miracles and events
iive converted to him yet im brainwashed? You don't know why I believe this. I did not revel him to me but he revealed himself to me through miracles.
I believe because hee has a church which has seen miracles and miracles since it began, healings, fatima, people being cured by preist ect for 2000 years. if you think im lying Ii have seen these miracles personally. But are you sincere enough to believe me? Im trying to be sincere as possible.

There are churches everywhere giving out his sacrafice which ws prophecied to happen in malachias, saying this sacrafice would spread across the globe, only Jesus has done this. Doesnt that make you wonder even alittle.
Have you ever thought that satan created the other beliefs to throw yu off guard, because h knew how the story of jesus would happen and end and by ceaing similar stories he would cause what you see today.
How do you know the diference? look hard into wht has happened since they all existed and the miracles in the church of Jesus.
The God of the OT condemned pagan teachings from egypt, yet he is the same one who predicted jesus coming many times in the ot especially Psalms and the prophets.
2000 years and more of miracles relating to jesus and i myself have seen miracles of Jesus throughout my short life span.
But you can believe what you want, just please don't yell at me for holding soething true when you do not know why I believe. (scriture) is part of it, but before I read one page of scripture three years ago he showed me who he was through miracles.
Peace.

Christians needed to use other gods, prophets etc, to help spread the word of christ. People need something to relate to. So the took bits and pieces from other well known religions and incorporated them into their stories.
There is no account of what Jesus did from his birth until he started preaching in his 30s. It is thought that during this time he travelled to Egypt. It wasn't necessarily the church which took the Egyptian religions and incorporated them but more probably Jesus himself.
Religions evolve from one another. We know according to the Bible that the Jewish people were in Egypt for many years and that they worshipped Egyptian gods and it is also likely that there were many things taken and put into Judaism.
Everybody knows that Christianity's father religion is Judaism. They often overlook the fact that it's mother religion was Egyptian.

Oh yes there are plenty of books and scrolls discribing his life when he was a young boy. I don't quite remember but in one of them he kills someone and brings him back to life, another place he makes the right arm of a rabbi who was trying to teach him the Alef Bet dead, while reprimanding his teacher saying "How can you teach bet when you don't know everything about alef?" The latter I think is from the Infancy gospel of Tomas or something. There is also tales from when Jesjuah as a child in Egypt, how he drew nearly fantastic geometric shapes in the sand. And how he spoke from his birth is told elsewhere, allthough I don't think that's true.

Love, compassion, equality, much like this 'Osiris'. Seeing the coincidences?

The Egyptian meaning of Ma'at was "truth" or "balance".
The Greeks translated Ma'at into the word "logos". The English translation for logos is "word".
The Gospel of John starts with the lines:
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God."
This translates as:
"In the beginning was Ma'at, and Ma'at was with God".
From there we can go to:
"In the beginning was Truth, and the Truth was with God".
Jesus says, in John 17:17:
"Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth."
and then in John 16:13:
"Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come."
John 8:32:
"Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free"
It is interesting to note that elsewhere in the Bible, Jesus declared himself as "the truth".
"I am the Way the Truth and The Life" �XJohn 14:6
Translated, he is claiming to be the embodiement of Ma'at - balance and order.
In a time when Israel needed a leader and a uniter wouldn't one who could claim to be Ma'at be seen as a messiah for his people?

The snare has once again entangled us...
Whenever a Christ like figure predates Jesus, the Infallabile Christian theologians will label these as [Satanic?] inspired precursers....[intended to undermine the real/true savior to come, in Jesus- the fisher-of-men.]
And, in an ultimate irony, the Jesus which followed the Gilgamesh & Isis & Buddah...also fufilled the Pagan doctrine of a mystical-magical 'three-fold' Karmic return....
PLEASE, don't mistake these responses as answers, they're just more ponderings...
enjoy the journey

Also look at the similarities and the relevancy between this scene and and the event written in the Book of Revelation about the woman who received the wings of the Great Eagle when she fled out of the wilderness to the place God made for her at the beginning of time.
Just look at the collumn to the right: Serpent, Egypt, river, woman, eagle feathers, is that a hawk I see to the left of Isis? Then a lot of writing and building tools and in the end a shepherd�s staff.
