This is mostly true, friend, and yet early Christianity is still ultimately Greco-Roman before anything else. The New Testament was written in Greek before any other language, and most of the early Christian converts were Roman, not Jews. It was that Roman Christian minority that ended up spreading Christianity during those early, pre-Constantine centuries. If not for Paul spreading Christianity to those Romans, we might not even know about it today, since it wasn't very popular and didn't take hold strongly among the Jews, who had many other sects and self-proclaimed messiahs to choose from (the Bible even lists some of these.)

Also note that all these Egyptian and African early Christians were Hellenized- they were brought up in a Greco-Roman culture which had taken root in North Africa and would not know of Christianity if it hadn't spread through that same Greco-Roman culture.

Sounds like Yeshua saved cacs to me bruh and then cacs went ahead and bodied themselves with Catholocism.

Those in power in Rome sure but there were enough Christians in Rome for alot of people to be killed. Christianty started in Rome and is Roman (borrowed from Egypt).

Alot of people who preached Yeshuas words, were killed, prior to the name Christianity being adopted as a religion by Rome or used as a phrase by Romans. You need to be get less ignorant. I cant believe you didnt learn this in Sunday school.

Even if there was proof of Jesus' existence, it wouldn't prove he was anything other than a common man. After all, we have pictures, artifacts, etc of David Koresh.

The only parallels between them are they were born of 'royal' descent, had death threats, and no data for a portion of their lives. Everything else on the chart is unsubstantiated :duck:....

Isis, (Horus' Mother) wasn't a 'virgin' by any stretch of the imagination.
Seb is Horus' grandfather.
There was no star heralding the birth of Horus.
'Three solar dieties....' = bullsh1t as the number of 'wise men' that arrived at J's birth was NEVER MENTIONED.
Horus never preached @ 12 and was never baptized.
J wasn't born on Dec. 25.
Horus was born in a cave. J was born in a manger.

Zeitgeist, Acharya S. books and this book aren't good sources at all.​

He was obviously the word of God In Flesh, hence his common approach became the angelic shield for friends, the world over. :lawd: David Koresh was here today gone yesterday. Another demonic individual who used the word of God to become a demonic mack of young people.

I just heard on the radio this morning that they discovered a new piece of doctrine from 3-4th century having Jesus refer to his "wife"...basically, he may have been married (or people atleast at that time thought he couldve been married)

All these celebate Catholic priests who can't touch a woman so revert to touching altar boys are :noah:

thats only catholic priests. most protestant priests can marry

There is plenty of proof of his existence outside of the bible. Jesus the man DID exist, it is still up to debate if he was really the deity that people respect him as.
