JESUS’ SIMILARITIES TO OTHER GODS

NEW TESTIMATE IS A COPY OF THE TAO TE CHING

Lao Tzu author of Tao Te Ching lived 600 years before Jesus, it seems like Jesus read Tao Te Ching

MATHEW 5:5

Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.

Tao - Chapter 76 The soft and yielding (people) will prevail.

PROVERBS 10:19

The more you talk, the more you are likely to sin. If you are wise, you will keep quiet.

Tao - Chapter 5 The mouth, on the other hand, becomes exhausted if you talk too much. Better to keep your thoughts inside you.

LUKE 9:25

“What does it profit them if they gain the whole world, but lose their souls?”

Tao Te Ching 9 “To be proud with wealth and honor is to sow the seeds of your own downfall.”

3

MATTHEW 6:21

“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”

Tao Te Ching 70 “The sage wears rough clothing and holds the jewel in his heart.”

LUKE 9:49

“The least among all you of is the greatest.”

Tao Te Ching 8 “The best of people is like water. Water gives life to all things and does not compete with them. It flows in places people reject and so is like the Tao.”

MATTHEW 5:38

“Do not resist an evildoer. If anyone strikes you on the right cheek, offer him the other also.”

Tao Te Ching 63 “Respond to anger with virtue.”

MATTHEW 18:11

“The Son of Man came to save, not condemn.”

Tao Te Ching 62 “People may not be good, but do not reject them.” “

LUKE 6:27

Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you.” Tao Te Ching 27 The sages is good at helping everyone. For that reason there is no rejected person. Therefore the good man is the teacher of the bad and the bad man is the lesson of the good.”

MATTHEW 27:11-14

“Now Jesus stood before the governor; and the governor asked him, ‘Are you the king of the Jews?’ Jesus said, ‘You say so.’ But when he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he did not answer. Then Pilate said to him, ‘Do you not hear how many accusations they make against you?’ But he have them no answer, not even to a single charge, so that the governor was greatly amazed.”

Tao Te Ching 43 “The softest thing in the world overcomes the hardest. Something that has no substance penetrates even where there is no space. This teaches the value of non-action. Teaching without words and

4

work without doing are understood by very few.”

ATTIS OF PHRYGIA

http://www.geocities.com/inquisitive79/godmen.html#horus and below --Attis was born on December 25 of the Virgin Nana. --He was considered the savior who was slain for the salvation of mankind. --His body as bread was eaten by his worshippers --His priests were “eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven.” --He was both the Divine Son and the Father. --On “Black Friday,” he was crucified on a tree, from which his holy blood ran down to redeem the earth. --He descended into the underworld. --After three days, Attis was resurrected on March 25 (as tradition held of Jesus) as the “Most High God.

DIONYSUS/BACCHUS

Dionysus or Bacchus is thought of as being Greek, but he is a remake of the Egyptian god Osiris, whose cult extended throughout a large part of the ancient world for thousands of years. Dionysus’s religion was well-developed in Thrace, northeast of Greece, and Phrygia, which became Galatia, where Attis also later reigned. Although a Dionysus is best remembered for the rowdy celebrations in his name, which was Latinized as Bacchus, he had many other functions and contributed several aspects to the Jesus character: --Dionysus was born of a virgin on December 25 and, as the Holy Child, was placed in a manger. --He was a traveling teacher who performed miracles. --He “rode in a triumphal procession on an ass.” --He was a sacred king killed and eaten in an eucharistic ritual for fecundity and purification. --Dionysus rose from the dead on March 25. --He was the God of the Vine, and turned water into wine. --He was called “King of Kings” and “God of Gods.” --He was considered the “Only Begotten Son,” Savior,” “Redeemer,” “Sin Bearer,” Anointed One,” and the “Alpha and Omega.” --He was identified with the Ram or Lamb. --His sacrificial title of “Dendrites” or “Young Man of the Tree” intimates he was hung on a tree or crucified. As Walker says, Dionysus was “a prototype of Christ with a cult center at Jerusalem,” where

5

during the 1st century BCE he was worshiped by Jews . . . Dionysus/Bacchus’s symbol was “IHS” or “IES,” which became “Iesus” or “Jesus.” The “IHS” is used to this day in Catholic liturgy and iconography.

HORUS/OSIRIS OF EGYPT

In the Egyptian myth, Horus and his once-and-future Father, Osiris, are frequently interchangeable, as in “I and my Father are one.” Concerning Osiris, Walker says: Of all savior-gods worshiped at the beginning of the Christian era, Osiris may have contributed more details to the evolving Christ figure than any other. Already very old in Egypt, Osiris was identified with nearly every other Egyptian god and was on the way to absorbing them all.

He had well over 200 divine names. He was called the Lord of Lords, King of Kings, God of Gods. He was the Resurrection and the Life, the Good Shepherd, Eternity and Everlastingness,

the god who “made men and women to be born again.” Budge says, “From first to last, Osiris was to the Egyptians the god-man who suffered, an died, and rose again, and reigned eternally in heaven. They believed that they would inherit eternal life, just as he had done . . .

Osiris’s coming was announced by Three Wise Men: the three stars Mintaka, Anilam, and Alnitak in the belt of Orion, which point directly to Osiris’s star in the east, Sirius (Sothis), significator of his birth . . .

Certainly Osiris was a prototypical Messiah, as well as a devoured Host. His flesh was eaten in the form of communion cakes of wheat, the “plant of Truth.” . . . The cult of Osiris contributed a number of ideas and phrases to the Bible.

The 23rd Psalm copied an Egyptian text appealing to Osiris the Good Shepherd to lead the deceased to the “green pastures” and “still waters” of the nefer-nefer land, to restore the soul to the body, and to give protection in the valley of the shadow of death (the Tuat).

The Lord’s Prayer was prefigured by an Egyptian hymn to Osiris-Amen beginning, “O Amen, O Amen, who are in heaven.”

Amen was also invoked at the end of every prayer. As Col. James Chruchward naively exclaims, “The teachings of Osiris and Jesus are wonderfully alike. Many passages are identically the same, word for word.”

Osiris was also the god of the vine and a great travelling teacher who civilized the world. He was the ruler and judge of the dead. Osiris was plotted against and killed by Set and “the 72.” Like that of Jesus, Osiris’s

resurrection served to provide hope to all that they may do likewise and become eternal.

Osiris’s “son” or renewed incarnation, Horus, shares the following in common with Jesus:

Horus was born of the virgin Isis-Merion December 25 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”).

6

He was of royal descent. At at 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 desciples, two of who 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 [1500 years before Jesus’ alleged advent] 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 bh 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.” As Massey says:

It was the Gnostic art that reproduced the Hathor-Meri and Horus of Egypt as the Virgin and child-Christ of Rome . . . You poor idiotai, said the Gnostics [to the early Christians], you have mistaken the mysteries of old for modern history, and accepted literally all that was only meant mystically.

KRISHNA

The similarities between the Christian character and the Indian messiah Krishna number in the hundreds, particularly when the early Christian texts now considered apocrypha are factored in.

It should be noted that a common earlier English spelling of Krishna was “Christna,” which reveals its relation to “Christ.”

Also, in Bengali, Krishna is reputedly “Christos,” which is the same as the Greek for

7

“Christ” and which the soldiers of Alexander the Great called Krishna. It should be further noted that, as with Jesus, Buddha and Osiris, many people have

believed and continue to believe in a historical Krishna. The following is a partial list of the correspondences between Jesus and Krishna:

Krishna was born of the Virgin Devaki (“Divine One”) on December 25. His earthly father was a carpenter, who was off in the city paying tax while Krishna was

born. His birth was signaled by a star in the east and attended by angels and shepherds, at which

time he was presented with spices. The heavenly hosts danced and sang at his birth. He was persecuted by a tyrant who ordered the slaughter of thousands of infants. Krishna was anointed on the head with oil by a woman whom he healed. He is depicted as having his foot on the head of a serpent. He worked miracles and wonders, raising the dead and healing lepers, the deaf and the

blind. Krishna used parables to teach the people about charity and love, and he “lived poor and he

loved the poor.” He castigated the clergy, charging them with “ambition and hypocrisy . . . Tradition says he

fell victim to their vengeance.” Krishna’s “beloved disciple” was Arjuina or Ar-jouan (Jouhn). He was transfigured in front of his disciples. He gave his disciples the ability to work miracles. His path was “strewn with branches.” In some traditions he died on a tree or was crucified between two thieves. Krishna was killed around the age of 30, and the sun darkened at his death. He rose from the dead and ascended to heaven “in the sight of all men.” He was depicted on a cross with nail-holes in his feet, as well as having a heart emblem on

his clothing. Krishna is the “lion of the tribe of Saki.” He was called the “Shepherd of God” and considered the “Redeemer,” “Firstborn,” “Sin-

Bearer,” “Liberator,” “Universal Word.” He was deemed the “Son of God” and “our Lord and Savior,” who came to earth to die for

man’s salvation. He was the second person of the Trinity. His disciples purportedly bestowed upon him the title “Jezeus,” or “Jeseus,” meaning “pure

essence.” Krishna is to return to judge the dead, riding on a white horse, and to do battle with the

“Prince of Evil,” who will desolate the earth.

MITHRA OF PERSIA

Mithra was born of a virgin on December 25 in a cave, and his birth was attended by shepherds bearing gifts.

8

He was considered a great traveling teacher and master.

-- He had 12 companions or disciples. Mithra’s followers were promised immortality. He performed miracles. As the “great bull of the Sun,” Mithra sacrificed himself for world peace. He was buried in atomb and after three days rose again. His resurrection was celebrated every year. He was called “the Good Shepherd” and identified with both the Lamb and the Lion. He was considered the “Way, the Truth and the Light,” and the “Logos,” [Word]

“Redeemer,” “Savior” and “Messiah.” His sacred day was Sunday, the “Lord’s Day,” hundreds of years before the appearance of

Christ. had his principal festival on what was later to become Easter. His religion had a eucharist or “Lord’s Supper,” at which Mithra said, “He who shall nto eat

of my body nor drink of my blood so that he may be one with me and I with him, shall not be saved.”

“His annual sacrifice is the Passover of the Magi, a symbolical atonement of pledge of moral and physical regeneration.”

Furthermore, the Vatican itself is built upon the papacy of Mithra, and the Christian hierarchy is nearly identical to the Mithraic version it replaced . . .

Virtually all of the elements of the Catholic / Christian ritual, from miter to wafer to altar to doxology, are directly taken from earlier Pagan mystery religions.

ZOROASTER/ZARATHUSTRA

Zoroaster was born of a virgin and “immaculate conception by a ray of divine reason.” He was baptized in a river. In his youth he astounded wise men with his wisdom. He was tempted in the wilderness by the devil. He began his ministry at age 30. Zoroaster baptized with water, fire and “holy wind.” He cast out demons and restored the sight to a blind man. He taught about heaven and hell, and revealed mysteries, including resurrection,

judgment, salvation and the apocalypse. He had a sacred cup or grail. He was slain. His religion had a eucharist. He was the “Word made flesh.” Zoroaster’s followers expected a “second coming” in the virgin-born Saoshynt or Savior,

who is to come in 2341 CE and begin his ministry at age 30, ushering in a golden age.

The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal. 17 And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel. 18 And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass. 19 And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald; 20 The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolyte; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst. 21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.
