			Judaism, Christianity and Islam are typically grouped together under the same umbrella of Abrahamic
religion. This video is going to show that far from being a religion in the monotheistic lineage of
Abraham. Christianity, in fact, has its origin in pagan cults.
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:52
			Christianity has the doctrine of the Trinity, in which God is said to manifest as three persons, the
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Let's compare this concept of three related divinities to different
pagan religions. The ancient Egyptians had the trinity of our moon Ray and tar, and Egyptian
hemorrhoids. All gods are three moon Ray on tar.
		
00:00:55 --> 00:01:00
			Babylon Babylonians worship, the trinity of Nana Shamash and Ishtar.
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:21
			Hinduism has the concept of tree Morty, in which the supreme god, Brahman is said to manifest as the
three forms Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. The Hindu text, Padma Purana states he who is that eternal God
became the three Gods Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva.
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:30
			The Greeks had the Goddess, a carta, whom they're described as triple headed, and Goddess of the
triple where's
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:45
			the Romans venerated Diana, as diva try formless which means three formed goddess, a Roman poet
wrote, or three formed goddess to the I dedicate the pine tree.
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:55
			Northwestern European tribes worshiped a group of three female deities known as mathrani, which
means matrons.
		
00:01:57 --> 00:02:10
			Persians had the triad, a hora, Master, Mithra, and anahita. An ancient royal inscription reads,
Mei, ahora, Master, anahita, and Mithra protect me and my building against evil.
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:56
			We can see that this concept of three related divinities is an ancient phenomenon, which has been
present in different pagan religions throughout the world. It's important to point out that the
Christian Trinity differs in its finer details when compared to these other cults. However, this
basic concept of three related divinities is common to all of them, and is fundamentally pagan. The
Greek philosopher Aristotle had this to say about the mystical significance of the number three,
just as the Pythagorean say the hole and all things are delimited by the three, four end, middle and
beginning have the number of the hole which is that of the Triad wherefore we use this number also
		
00:02:56 --> 00:03:00
			in the worship of the gods, taking it from nature as a lot of it.
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:35
			In Christianity, Jesus is the incarnate Son of God. We said to possess two natures, one divine and
one human. This idea of a god man hybrid is fundamentally pagan. Greco Roman religions were filled
with tales of Gods procreating with human women and begetting God men. For example, the chief God in
the Greek Pantheon, Zeus, visited the human woman diner in the form of golden rain, and fathered
Perseus, a god man.
		
00:03:36 --> 00:04:24
			Hercules, also the son of Zeus is another example of a god man. The New Testament states that the
role of the incarnate Son of God is to be the savior of mankind. The Father has sent His Son to be
the savior of the world. The belief that Gods became incarnate as men and acted as universal saviors
was also common in paganism. Perhaps the best known example is the Roman dictator, Julius Caesar. An
ancient inscription has this to say about him, descendant of Aries and Aphrodite, the goddess was
become manifest and universal savior of human life. Here, Julius Caesar is said to be a
manifestation of the gods and the savior of mankind. Another direct parallel can be found in the
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:44
			Gospel of Mark, the beginning of the good news about Jesus the Messiah, the Son of God, this
statement that Jesus, the Son of God, is the beginning of the good news is also mirrored by another
Roman dictator, Augustus, the birthday of the God has been for the whole world, the beginning of
good news concerning him.
		
00:04:45 --> 00:05:00
			The concept of a human being was a divine Son of God, the savior of mankind. And good news was a
sort of template that was applied to people of great power and authority. We've seen that the
history of paganism is littered with such example.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:39
			poles and the Christian conception of Jesus was just another incarnate God in a long line of
incarnate gods that had preceded him. The early Christian apologist Justin Martyr, considered a
saint in the Catholic Church admitted that Christianity had borrowed its concept of divine sonship
from pagans. When we say that the word Jesus Christ, the firstborn of God, was produced without
sexual union, and that he was crucified and died and rose again, and ascended to heaven. We propound
nothing new or different from what you pagans believe regarding those whom you consider sons of
Jupiter.
		
00:05:46 --> 00:06:32
			The Gospel of Matthew states that Jesus foretold, he would die and rise again, after a period of
three days and three nights. For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge
fish, saw the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. Very early
on, churches taught that during his three day and three night absence, Jesus descended into *.
The apostles creed is an early statement of Christian belief, it states, I believe in Jesus Christ,
his only Son, our Lord was crucified, died and was buried, He descended into *. The third day he
arose again from the dead. These beliefs mirror an ancient Sumerian myth about the goddess Inanna,
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:53
			which states from the great heaven Inanna set her mind on the grid below Inanna abandon heaven
abandoned Earth and descended to the underworld. After three days and three nights had passed,
though slightly Nana arise. The Gospel of Matthew also tells us that something extraordinary
happened when Jesus died.
		
00:06:54 --> 00:07:15
			At that moment, the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom, the earth shook, the
rock split, and the tombs broke up and the bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to
life. They came out of the tombs after Jesus's resurrection, and went into the holy city and
appeared to many people.
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:57
			Now, none of the other gospels mentioned this astonishing incident of The Walking Dead. Only Matthew
report said, Let's compare the accounts of Matthew and Mark regarding the death of Jesus. Notice
that even though our marks account is virtually identical to that of Matthew, Mark does not mention
the rising of the dead sense. If such a miraculous event really happened, then there will be no
rational reason for Mark to omit it from his gospel. Consider that the Apostle Paul had the perfect
opportunity to mention this story, when he was preaching to an audience that was skeptical about
life after death. But if it is preached that Christ has been raised from the dead, how can some of
		
00:07:57 --> 00:08:37
			you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? Paul could have easily proven that there is life
after death by mentioning the numerous resurrections that took place when the dead saints walk the
streets of Jerusalem. He did not mention anything about such an event because it never happened.
Flavius Josephus was a first century historian who was born in Jerusalem. Even though he was a
prolific writer and documented much about the city. He also failed to mention anything about this
most public of miracles. Even conservative Christian scholarship rejects the historicity of this
event. The New Testament scholar Mike licona, stated that this story is a strange report and
		
00:08:37 --> 00:09:18
			literary special effects. The theologian William Lane Craig stated that probably only a few
conservative scholars would treat the story as historical. If Matthew story of The Walking Dead is
an invention. Then From where did he get his inspiration for such a tale. It just happens to be
present among pagan cultures. The ancient Greek celebrated a three day festival known as an test
area, during which it was believed that the dead came back to life and walked among the living in
the cities. The Roman poet Virgil wrote that when Julius Caesar was assassinated, phantoms of an
earthly paler were seen in the falling darkness.
		
00:09:25 --> 00:10:00
			The Gospel of john narrates to as the following conversation between Jesus and his disciples, this
bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my
blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day. For my flesh is real food and my
blood is real drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in them. Here
Jesus instituted the ritualistic consumption of bread and wine, said to represent his flesh and
blood, not the great importance that is placed on the ritual.
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:45
			It was claimed to restore eternal life. All of this has precedent in the ancient Egyptian cult of
Osiris. Osiris was believed to be the God of the dead, and they got a resurrection. The body of
Osiris was represented by bread. The valley gives you bread from the burial of her father or Cyrus,
your loves are Osiris. The blood of Osiris was represented by wine, my blood is drunk, even my
redness, you are wine you are not wine, but the guts of Osiris. The ritualistic consumption of
Osiris in the form of bread and wine, was believed to allow one to partake in the nature of Osiris
and be granted life. Your eyes are opened by the earth, your limbs are gathered, raise yourself up
		
00:10:45 --> 00:11:28
			when the great bread and this wine like water were given to him. The bread and wine ritual is
performed in churches to the present day as a way of commemorating Jesus's resurrection back to
life. In Christianity, the symbol of the resurrection is the cross. Most Christians assume that its
design is based on the T shaped Roman torture instrument. However, the Bible itself does not
precisely describe the shape of the cross. It merely states it was made of wood or timber, you may
be wondering where its design originated from, like the bread and wine eating ritual, the cross also
happens to have a parallel in ancient Egyptian religion. Compare the Christian cross to the Egyptian
		
00:11:28 --> 00:12:13
			anq. Their resemblance is not just in ship, but also in meaning as Egyptian hieroglyphics use the
symbol to represent the word for life. Here the Egyptian god Horus is bringing a dead Pharaoh back
to life. Using the Anke we can see that the ank and krisztian cross are both linked to resurrection.
The early Christian historian Socrates scholastic has recorded a fascinating argument between
Christians and Egyptian pagans, who both laid claim to the cross. When the Temple of serapis was
torn down and laid bare. They were found in it in graven on stones, certain characters, which they
call hieroglyphics having the forms of crosses, both the Christians and pagans on seeing them,
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:25
			appropriated and applied them to their respective religions, for the Christians claimed this
character as peculiarly theirs, but the pagans allege that it might pertain to Christ and syrup is
in common.
		
00:12:33 --> 00:12:42
			Just how did the original message of Jesus transform from the pure monotheism of the Old Testament
into the paganistic religion of Christianity Today?
		
00:12:43 --> 00:13:25
			Did early Christians get together and agree upon a secret agenda to corrupt the religion and the
masses just went along with it, there is no need to resort to conspiracy theories to understand what
actually happened. When there are multiple ideologies in a geographic area, you often find that
there is an exchange of ideas with a dominant ideology prevailing in the exchange. This is known as
syncretism. The people who allow changes to creep into religion are not necessarily doing it with an
evil intention. It may come about due to pressure from society or ruling authorities, it may even
seem natural to adopt certain beliefs and practices if culturally that is what people are used to.
		
00:13:26 --> 00:14:09
			Historically, this is what happened with Christianity. Jewish people were the initial target
audience of the evangelism of Jesus and his disciples. However, they largely rejected Jesus as the
Messiah. Jesus only gained a sizable following after he ascended to heaven. When the Apostle Paul
started evangelizing to Gentiles, ie non Jews. Paul preached a modified version of the message of
Jesus that was stripped of its Jewish elements, such as circumcision, and keeping the Sabbath. This
watered down version appeal to Gentiles, who started to embrace Paul's teachings in large numbers,
culminating in the pagan Roman Empire, adopting Christianity as its official state religion several
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:49
			centuries after Jesus. So we need to understand the mindset of the Gentiles who first receive Paul's
message in order to understand how paganism crept into Christianity. When Jewish people heard
stories about Jesus performing amazing miracles, they would have understood him in the same context
of the likes of Moses and the other Israelite prophets, who were all granted signs and wonders by
God. However, such stories about Jesus would have been interpreted very differently by pagan
Gentiles. This is illustrated in the New Testament book of Acts, which informs us in Leicester,
there sat a man who was lamb. He had been that way from birth, and I've never walked. Paul looked
		
00:14:49 --> 00:15:00
			directly at him, saw that he had faith to be healed and called out, stand up on your feet. At that
the man jumped up and began to walk. When the crowd saw what Paul had done. They should
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:04
			altijd in the iconian language, the gods have come down to us in human form.
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:48
			We can see that the pagan Gentile peoples to whom Paul was preaching were in the habit of idolizing
human beings. With this in mind, it's easy to appreciate why Gentiles from a pagan background would
idolize Jesus. Upon hearing stories about the miracles of Jesus, they would naturally interpret him
in the same light as the Greco Roman gods they were used to. The early church emerged in both a
Jewish and Gentile world. And so Christians had to reconcile the pure monotheism they had inherited
from Judaism with the polytheism. They're derived from paganism. Gregory of Nyssa, is a fourth
century Bishop, who is venerated as a saint in the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches, he
		
00:15:48 --> 00:16:24
			wrote, for the truth passes in the main between these two conceptions, destroying each heresy, and
yet accepting what is useful to it from each. The Jewish dogma is destroyed by the acceptance of the
word and by belief in the spirit, while the polytheistic error of the Greek school is made to vanish
by the unity of the nature abrogating this imagination of plurality. Here, Gregory of Nyssa
acknowledged that the Christian conception of God is neither purely the polytheism of the Greeks,
nor purely the monotheism of the Jews, but rather a mixture of both.
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:39
			The Quran declares that those Christians who deified Jesus are imitating pagans of Old World on and
		
00:16:44 --> 00:16:45
			then encounter
		
00:16:49 --> 00:16:51
			your boy Oh, now bone.
		
00:16:54 --> 00:17:38
			Here the Quran demonstrates remarkable insight by pointing out that Christian beliefs about Jesus
originate from past pagan religions. The message of Islam, like Christianity was also delivered to a
pagan audience. But unlike Christianity, Islamic monotheism was untainted, and remains pure to this
day. Even rabbis acknowledge this fact, because they permit Jewish people to pray in Muslim places
of worship, in a situation where no synagogue is available. Rabbi Montes, a leading authority in
Jewish law wrote the following with regards to the Islamic concept of God. These ishmaelites are not
idol worshipers in the least. And paganism has long since cut off from their mouth on their hearts,
		
00:17:38 --> 00:18:22
			and they worship the singular God properly and without any blemish. By comparison, Jewish people are
forbidden from even setting foot inside churches. Rabbi Maimonides had this to say about
Christianity know that his Christian nation with all their many different sects are all idol
worshipers and all their holidays are forbidden. And we deal with them regarding religious issues,
as we would pagans the Kaaba is situated in Saudi Arabia, and represents the holiest site on earth
for Muslims. Today it contains neither idols not images. But before the advent of Islam, the pagan
Arabs has numerous idols inside the Kaabah central was the Kaaba to idolatry, that pagans from all
		
00:18:22 --> 00:19:04
			over Arabia would make pilgrimage there. In the short span of just 23 years, Islam managed to
completely eliminate all traces of idolatry, taking people away from the worship of carved images,
to the worship of the one true God of Abraham, when it comes to preserving the purity of monotheism,
just how did Islam succeed where Christianity failed, the Quran takes into account the psychology of
its audience, which is demonstrated in its use of language. When God defines the relationship
between himself and mankind. he avoids terms like father when referring to himself and Sons of God.
When referring to human beings. Such language can be easily misunderstood, especially in the minds
		
00:19:04 --> 00:19:19
			of those who come from a background of idolatry and are used to interpreting such language
literally. The Quran also outlines its doctrines clearly, with God describing his nature in such a
way that it is impossible to get it confused with polytheism.
		
00:19:20 --> 00:19:23
			Long Allah
		
00:19:27 --> 00:19:27
			one.
		
00:19:31 --> 00:19:45
			God revealed the Quran in order to rescue mankind from the polytheism that we are drowning in the
Quran restores the original monotheistic message of Jesus, who is not part of a trinity, but rather
a human messenger and the Messiah.
