Hey Ray.
I enjoyed the article very much and it made me go and research further into egyptian beliefs.
I was just wondering If you can see the connection between "Osiris" and "Christ"
The Egyptians also believed in the "Sun" of "Ra" (god), they also worshiped one god whom the called "Almighty" "Creator of heaven, and earth, and all within" "The one who was,is,and will be" The connection with Egyptian belief and christianity is most staggering in that almost all of what they belived are also what christians have embraced as "truth"
If you have any books regarding the Egyptian concept of a future life, or their ideas regarding "The Sun" it would be worth your time to go and further study the subject out.
Egypt, the primeval seat of learning, was the high seat of Sun adoration. The Sphinx, with the face to the east, represents Harmmachus, young Horus, or the rising Sun. The orb is Osiris, the ruling god of day. In its descent it is the dying deity, going below to the land of Shades; but only to be resurrected as the victorious Horus, piercing the head of the dragon of darkness." James Bonwick, Irish Druids & Old Irish Religions
The Egyptian sun god Horus, who predated the Christ character by thousands of years, shares the following in common with Jesus:
* Isis and HorusHorus was born of the virgin Isis-Meri on December 25th in a cave/manger with his birth being announced by a star in the East and attended by three wise men.
* His earthly father was named "Seb" ("Joseph"). Seb is also known as "Geb": "As Horus the Elder he...was believed to be the son of Geb and Nut." Lewis Spence, Ancient Egyptian Myths and Legends, 84.
* He was of royal descent.
* At age 12, he was a child teacher in the Temple, and at 30, he was baptized, having disappeared for 18 years.
* Horus was baptized in the river Eridanus or Iarutana (Jordan) by "Anup the Baptizer" ("John the Baptist"), who was decapitated.
* He had 12 disciples, two of whom were his "witnesses" and were named "Anup" and "Aan" (the two "Johns").
* He performed miracles, exorcised demons and raised El-Azarus ("El-Osiris"), from the dead.
* Horus walked on water.
* His personal epithet was "Iusa," the "ever-becoming son" of "Ptah," the "Father." He was thus called "Holy Child."
* He delivered a "Sermon on the Mount" and his followers recounted the "Sayings of Iusa."
* Horus was transfigured on the Mount.
* He was crucified between two thieves, buried for three days in a tomb, and resurrected.
* He was also the "Way, the Truth, the Light," "Messiah," "God's Anointed Son," the "Son of Man," the "Good Shepherd," the "Lamb of God," the "Word made flesh," the "Word of Truth," etc.
* He was "the Fisher" and was associated with the Fish ("Ichthys"), Lamb and Lion.
* He came to fulfill the Law.
* Horus was called "the KRST," or "Anointed One."
* Like Jesus, "Horus was supposed to reign one thousand years."
Furthermore, inscribed about 3,500 years ago on the walls of the Temple at Luxor were images of the Annunciation, Immaculate Conception, Birth and Adoration of Horus, with Thoth announcing to the Virgin Isis that she will conceive Horus; with Kneph, the "Holy Ghost," impregnating the virgin; and with the infant being attended by three kings, or magi, bearing gifts. In addition, in the catacombs at Rome are pictures of the baby Horus being held by the virgin mother Isis--the original "Madonna and Child."
Dear Readers:
There are many tens of thousands of things that might be of value to looking into further. Unfortunately, I do not have too many tens of thousands of hours left in my life to make a hobby of studying Egyptian pagan doctrines. Just enough to teach the truth to our readers. Thank you for your information, however.
God be with you,
Ray
