Γιατί μπλέκεις τα μυστήρια φαινόμενα με τον Χριστιανισμό; Και άλλοι αλλόθρησκοι δεν κάνανε θαύματα; Και άλλοι αλλόθρησκοι δεν προφήτευαν; Απλά αυτοί τα έκαναν με τη βοήθεια του Σατανά σύμφωνα με τον Χριστιανισμό...

Μην τα μπλέκεις. Τα ανεξήγητα προς το παρόν φαινόμενα δεν έχουν σχέση με θρησκείες.

Δεν έχεις ακουσει για φωτεινές μπάλλες ενέργειας; Σε συνδυασμό με τον υγρό φώσφορο έχουμε το άγιο φως. Τελευταία μάθαμε για ηλεκτρονικές παρεμβολες στον Πανάγιο τάφο. Μα τα ιδια γίνονται και στο σπήλαιο της Πεντελης εδω και χρόνια. Τι σύμπτωση...

Other Saviors and Sons of God

Many of the other sons of God, and several “daughters of God” and goddesses

such as Diana Soteira as well, share numerous aspects with the Christian savior, such

as the following notable examples.

The Arabian Issa purportedly lived around 400 BCE in the western Arabian

region of Hijaz, where also existed places called Galilee, Bethsaida and Nazareth, a

town that was not founded in Palestine until after “Jesus of Nazareth’s” alleged era.

The similarities between the Arabian Issa and the Palestinian Jesus are many and

profound.

Aesclepius is the great healing god of the Greeks who had long, curly hair, wore

robes and did miracles, including raising the dead. Of Aesclepius, Dujardin relates:

The word Soter has not only the meaning of Saviour, but also of Healer; it is the title

given to Esculapius . . . it is interesting to realize that the same men who carried to

the world the revolutionary message of salvation by union with the god were at the

same time an organized group of healers, who day by day earned their living by the

practice of healing.cccxlvi

It has also been demonstrated that the Orphic religion is similar to Christianity.

In Jesus Christ: Sun of God, David Fideler relates of the Greek hero/god Orpheus:

Orphism promulgated the idea of eternal life, a concept of “original sin” and

purification, the punishment of the wicked in the afterlife, and the allegorical

interpretation of myth, which the early church fathers applied to the Christian

scriptures. Orpheus was known as the Good Shepherd, and Jesus was frequently

represented as Orpheus, playing music and surrounded by animals, a symbol of the

Peaceable Kingdom or Golden Age, representing the ever-present harmony of the

Logos. Like Orpheus, Jesus descended to Hell as a savior of souls.cccxlvii

Indeed, as Werner Keller relates:

In Berlin . . . there is a small amulet with a crucified person, the Seven Sisters and the

moon which bears the inscription ORPHEUS BAKKIKOS. It has a surprisingly Christian

appearance. The same can be said of a representation of the hanging Marsyas in the

Capitoline Museum in Rome.cccxlviii

Zoroaster/Zarathustra

As they do concerning the founders of other religions and sects, many people

have believed that Zoroaster was a single, real person who spread the Persian

religion around 660 BCE. However, Zoroastrianism is asserted to have existed

10,000 years ago, and there have been at least “seven Zoroasters . . . recorded by

different historians.”cccxxxix Thus, it is clear that Zoroaster is not a single person but

another rendering of the ubiquitous mythos with a different ethnicity and flavor.

Zoroaster’s name means “son of a star,” a common mythical epithet, which Jacolliot

states is the Persian version of the more ancient Indian “Zuryastara (who restored

the worship of the sun) from which comes this name of Zoroaster, which is itself but

a title assigned to a political and religious legislator.” Zoroaster has the following in

common with the Christ character:

· Zoroaster was born of a virgin and “immaculate conception by a ray of divine

reason.”cccxl

· 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.cccxli

· He had a sacred cup or grail.

· He was slain.

· His religion had a eucharist.

· He was the “Word made flesh.”

· Zoroaster’s followers expect a “second coming” in the virgin-born Saoshyant

or Savior, who is to come in 2341 CE and begin his ministry at age 30,

ushering in a golden age.

That Zoroastrianism permeated the Middle East prior to the Christian era is a

well-known fact. As Mazdaism and Mithraism, it was a religion that went back

centuries before the purported time of the “historical” Zoroaster. Its influence on

Judaism and Christianity is unmistakable:

When John the Baptist declared that he could baptize with water but that after him

would come one who would baptize with fire and with Holy Ghost, he was uttering

words which came directly from the heart of Zoroastrianism.cccxlii

“Zoroaster” considered nomads to be evil and agriculturalists good, and viewed

Persia, or Iran, to be the Holy Land. Like his Christian missionary counterparts, he

believed that the devil, Angra Mainyu or Ahriman, “sowed false religions,” which his

followers later claimed to be Judaism, Christianity, Manichaeism, and Islam.cccxliii

And, like its offspring Yahwism, Zoroastrianism was monotheistic and forbade

images or idols of God, who was called in Zoroastrianism “Ormuzd” or “Ahura-

Mazda.” Thus, religious intolerance may also be traced to its doctrines. Larson

relates the influence of Zoroastrianism on Christianity:

Among the basic elements which the Synoptics obtained from Zoroastrianism we

may mention the following: the intensely personal and vivid concepts of hell and

heaven; the use of water for baptism and spiritual purification; the savior born of a

true virgin-mother; the belief in demons who make human beings impure and who

must be exorcised; the Messiah of moral justice; the universal judgment, based upon

good and evil works; the personal immortality and the single life of every human

soul; the apocalyptic vision and prophecy; and the final tribulation before the

Parousia. . . . In addition, Paul, Revelation, and the Fourth Gospel drew heavily upon

Zoroastrianism for elements which are absent from the Synoptics: e.g., the doctrine

of absolute metaphysical dualism, the Logos concept, transformation into celestial

spirits, the millennial kingdom, Armageddon, the final conflagration, the defeat of

Satan, the renovation of the universe, and the celestial city to be lowered from the

Supreme Heaven to the earth.cccxliv

As Wheless states:

All these divine and “revealed” doctrines of the Christian faith we have seen to be

originally heathen Zoroastrian mythology, taken over first by the Jews, then boldly

plagiarized by the ex-Pagan Christians.cccxlv

Prometheus of Greece

The Greek god Prometheus is said to have migrated from Egypt, but his drama

traditionally took place in the Caucasus mountains. Prometheus shares a number of

striking similarities with the Christ character:

· Prometheus descended from heaven as God incarnate to save mankind.

· He had a “especially professed” friend, “Petraeus” (Peter), the

fisherman, who deserted him.cccxxix

· He was crucified, suffered and rose from the dead.

· He was called the Logos or Word.

Mithra of Persia

Mithra/Mitra is a very ancient god found both in Persia and India and predating

the Christian savior by hundreds to thousands of years. In fact, the cult of Mithra

was shortly before the Christian era “the most popular and widely spread ‘Pagan’

religion of the times,” as Wheless says. Wheless continues:

Mithraism is one of the oldest religious systems on earth, as it dates from the dawn of

history before the primitive Iranian race divided into sections which became Persian

and Indian . . . When in 65-63 B.C., the conquering armies of Pompey were largely

converted by its high precepts, they brought it with them into the Roman Empire.

Mithraism spread with great rapidity throughout the Empire, and it was adopted,

patronized and protected by a number of the Emperors up to the time of

Constantine.cccxxii

Indeed, Mithraism represented the greatest challenge to Christianity, which

won out by a hair over its competitor cult. Mithra has the following in common with

the Christ character:

· Mithra was born of a virgin on December 25th in a cave, and his birth was

attended by shepherds bearing gifts.

· 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.cccxxiii

· He was buried in a tomb 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,” “Redeemer,” “Savior” and “Messiah.”

· His sacred day was Sunday, the “Lord’s Day,” hundreds of years

before the appearance of Christ.

· Mithra 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 not 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.”cccxxiv

· “His annual sacrifice is the passover of the Magi, a symbolical atonement or

pledge of moral and physical regeneration.”cccxxv

Furthermore, the Vatican itself is built upon the papacy of Mithra, and the

Christian hierarchy is nearly identical to the Mithraic version it replaced. As Walker

states:

The cave of the Vatican belonged to Mithra until 376 A.D., when a city prefect

suppressed the cult of the rival Savior and seized the shrine in the name of Christ, on

the very birthday of the pagan god, December 25.cccxxvi

Walker also says:

Christians copied many details of the Mithraic mystery-religion, explaining the

resemblance later with their favorite argument that the devil had anticipated the true

faith by imitating it before Christ’s birth.cccxxvii

Shmuel Golding states, in The Book Your Church Doesn’t Want You to Read:

Paul says, “They drank from that spiritual rock and that rock was Christ” (I Cor.

10:4). These are identical words to those found in the Mithraic scriptures, except that

the name Mithra is used instead of Christ. The Vatican hill in Rome that is regarded

as sacred to Peter, the Christian rock, was already sacred to Mithra. Many Mithraic

remains have been found there. The merging of the worship of Attis into that of

Mithra, then later into that of Jesus, was effected almost without interruption.cccxxviii

In fact, the legendary home of Paul, Tarsus, was a site of Mithra worship.

Of Mithraism the Catholic Encyclopedia states, as related by Wheless, “The

fathers conducted the worship. The chief of the fathers, a sort of pope, who always

lived at Rome, was called ‘Pater Patratus.’” The Mithraic pope was also known as

Papa and Pontimus Maximus.

Virtually all of the elements of the Catholic ritual, from miter to wafer to altar to

doxology, are directly taken from earlier Pagan mystery religions. As Taylor states,

“‘That Popery has borrowed its principal ceremonies and doctrines from the rituals

of Paganism,’ is a fact which the most learned and orthodox of the established church

have most strenuously maintained and most convincingly demonstrated.”

Krishna of India

The similarities between the Christian character and the Indian messiah Krishna

number in the hundreds, particularly when the early Christian texts now considered

apocryphal 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 “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 25th.cccii

· His earthly father was a carpenter,ccciii who was off in the city paying

tax while Krishna was born.ccciv

· 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.cccv

· 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.cccvi

· 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.”cccvii

· He castigated the clergy, charging them with “ambition and

hypocrisy. . . Tradition says he fell victim to their vengeance.”cccviii

· Krishna’s “beloved disciple” was Arjuna or Ar-jouan (John).

· He was transfigured in front of his disciples.

· He gave his disciples the ability to work miracles.cccix

· His path was “strewn with branches.”cccx

· In some traditions he died on a tree or was crucified between two

thieves.

· Krishna was killed around the age of 30,cccxi and the sun darkened at

his death.cccxii

· He rose from the dead and ascended to heaven “in the sight of all

men.”cccxiii

· He was depicted on a cross with nail-holes in his feet, as well as

having a heart emblem on his clothing.cccxiv

· Krishna is the “lion of the tribe of Saki.”cccxv

· He was called the “Shepherd God” and considered the “Redeemer,”

“Firstborn,” “Sin-Bearer,” “Liberator,” “Universal Word.”cccxvi

· He was deemed the “Son of God” and “our Lord and Savior,” who

came to earth to die for man’s salvation.cccxvii

· He was the second person of the Trinity.

· His disciples purportedly bestowed upon him the title “Jezeus,” or

“Jeseus,” meaning “pure essence.”cccxviii

· 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.cccxix

The story of Krishna as recorded in the ancient Indian legends and texts

penetrated the West on a number of occasions. One theory holds that Krishna

worship made its way to Europe as early as 800 BCE, possibly brought by the

Phoenicians. Higgins asserts that Krishna-worship in Ireland goes back even further,

and he points to much linguistic and archaeological evidence of this early migration.

Krishna was reinjected into Western culture on several other occasions, including by

Alexander the Great after the expansion of his empire and his sojourn in India. It is

also claimed that his worship was reintroduced during the first century CE by

Apollonius of Tyana, who carried a fresh copy of the Krishna story in writing to the

West, where it made its way to Alexandria, Egypt. Graham relates the tale:

The argument runs thus: There was in ancient India a very great sage called Deva

Bodhisatoua. Among other things he wrote a mythological account of Krishna,

sometimes spelled Chrishna. About 38 or 40 A.D., Apollonius while traveling in the

East found this story in Singapore. He considered it so important he translated it into

his own language, namely, Samaritan. In this he made several changes according to

his own understanding and philosophy. On his return he brought it to Antioch, and

there he died. Some thirty years later another Samaritan, Marcion, found it. He too

made a copy with still more changes. This he brought to Rome about 130 A.D., where

he translated it into Greek and Latin.cccxx

Thus, we have the apparent origins of Marcion’s Gospel of the Lord, which he

claimed was the Gospel of Paul. In addition to the gospel story, the moralistic

teachings purportedly introduced by Jesus were established long before by Krishna.

These similarities constitute the reason why Christianity has failed, despite repeated

efforts for centuries, to make headway in India, as the Brahmans have recognized

Christianity as a relatively recent imitation of their much older traditions, which they

have considered superior as well. Higgins relates:

The learned Jesuit Baldaeus observes that every part of the life of Cristna [Krishna]

has a near resemblance to the history of Christ; and he goes on to show that the time

when the miracles are supposed to have been performed was during the Dwaparajug,

which he admits to have ended 3,100 years before the Christian era. So that, as the

Cantab says, If there is meaning in words, the Christian missionary admits that the

history of Christ was founded upon that of Crishnu [Krishna].cccxxi

Horus/Osiris of Egypt

The legends of Osiris/Horus go back thousands of years, and many people over

the millennia have thought Osiris to be a real person, some claiming he lived up to

22,000 years ago. The cult of Osiris, Isis and Horus was widespread in the ancient

world, including in Rome. 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 worshipped 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, and 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.cclxxxviii

As Col. James Churchward naively exclaims, “The teachings of Osiris and Jesus

are wonderfully alike. Many passages are identically the same, word for word.”cclxxxix

Massey provides other details as to the similarity between Osirianism and

Christianity:

For instance, in one of the many titles of Osiris in all his forms and places he is called

“Osiris in the monstrance”. . . In the Roman ritual the monstrance is a transparent

vessel in which the host or victim is exhibited. . . . Osiris in the monstrance should of

itself suffice to show that the Egyptian Karast (Krst) is the original Christ, and that

the Egyptian mysteries were continued by the Gnostics and Christianized in Rome.ccxc

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. In his passion, 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-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”).

· He was of royal descent.ccxci

· 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)ccxcii by “Anup the Baptizer” (“John the Baptist”),ccxciii 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.”ccxciv He was thus called “Holy Child.”ccxcv

· He delivered a “Sermon on the Mount” and his followers recounted

the “Sayings of Iusa.”ccxcvi

· 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.ccxcvii

· Horus was called “the KRST,” or “Anointed One.”ccxcviii

· Like Jesus, “Horus was supposed to reign one thousand years.”ccxcix

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.” 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.ccc

Moreover, A. Churchward relates another aspect of the Egyptian religion found

in Catholicism:

We see in the ancient Catholic churches, over the main altar, an equilateral triangle,

and within it an eye. The addition of the eye to the triangle originated in Egypt—“the

all seeing eye of Osiris.”ccci

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 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 25th.

· 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.cclxxx

· 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 during the 1st century BCE he was worshipped by Jews, as noted.

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. As Roberts relates:

“IES,” the Phoenician name of the god Bacchus or the Sun personified; the etymological meaning of that title being, “I” the one and “es” the fire or light; or taken

as one word “ies” the one light. This is none other than the light of St. John’s gospel; and this name is to be found everywhere on Christian altars, both Protestant and Catholic, thus clearly showing that the Christian religion is but a modification of Oriental Sun Worship, attributed to Zoroaster. The same letters IHS, which are in the Greek text, are read by Christians “Jes,” and the Roman Christian priesthood added the terminus “us”. . .

And Larson states: Dionysus became the universal savior-god of the ancient world. And there has never been another like unto him: the first to whom his attributes were accredited, we call Osiris; with the death of paganism, his central characteristics were assumed by Jesus Christ.

Like Jesus the Nazarene, Dionysus is the “true Vine,” and the grape imagery is important to both cults. As Walker says: [The grapevine] was preeminently an incarnation of Dionysus, or Bacchus, in his role of sacrificial savior. His immolation was likened to the pruning of the vine, necessary to its seasonal rebirth. . . . In Syria and Babylon the vine was a sacred tree of life. Old Testament writers adopted it as an emblem of the chosen people, and New Testament writers made it an emblem of Christ (John 15:1, 5). When accompanied by wheat sheaves in sacred art, the vine signified the blood (wine) and body (bread) of the savior: an iconography that began in paganism and was soon adopted by early Christianity.

On Crete, Dionysus was called Iasius,cclxxxiv a title also of the godman of the Orphic mysteries of Samothrace, who has been identified with Dionysus and who was promulgated by the “apostle” Orpheus in his missionary work as he took the same route later purportedly traveled by Paul. Iasius, Iesius or Jason is in fact equivalent to Jesus.

Buddha

Although most people think of Buddha as being one person who lived around 500 BCE, the character commonly portrayed as Buddha can also be demonstrated to be a compilation of godmen, legends and sayings of various holy men both preceding and succeeding the period attributed to the Buddha (Gautama/ Gotama), as

was demonstrated by Robertson:

. . . Gotama was only one of a long series of Buddhas who arise at intervals and who all teach the same doctrine. The names of twenty-four of such Buddhas who appeared before Gotama have been recorded. . . . It was held that after the death of each Buddha, his religion flourishes for a time and then decays. After it is forgotten, a new Buddha emerges and preaches the lost Dhamma, or Truth. . . .

It seems quite probable in the light of these facts that any number of teachings attributed to “the Buddha” may have been in existence either before or at the time when Gotama was believed to have lived. . . .

The name Gotama is a common one; it is also full of mythological associations. There was admittedly another Gotama known to the early Buddhists, who founded an order. So what proof is there that the sayings and doings of different Gotamas may not have been

ascribed to one person? . . .

Because of this non-historicity and of the following characteristics of the Buddha myth, which are not widely known but which have their hoary roots in the mists of time, we can safely assume that Buddha is yet another personification of the ancient, universal mythos being revealed herein.

The Buddha character has the following in common with the Christ figure:

· Buddha was born on December 25thccl of the virgin Maya, and his birth was

attended by a “Star of Announcement,” wise and angels singing

heavenly songs.

· At his birth, he was pronounced ruler of the world and presented with “costly jewels and precious substances.”

· His life was threatened by a king “who was advised to destroy the child, as he was liable to overthrow him.”

· Buddha was of royal lineage.

· He taught in the temple at 12.

· He crushed a serpent’s head (as was traditionally said of Jesus) and was tempted by Mara, the “Evil One,” when fasting.

· Buddha was baptized in water, with the “Spirit of God” or “Holy Ghost” present.

· He performed miracles and wonders, healed the sick, fed 500 men from a “small basket of cakes,” and walked on water.

· Buddha abolished idolatry, was a “sower of the word,” and preached “the establishment of a kingdom of righteousness.”

· His followers were obliged to take vows of poverty and to renounce the world.

· He was transfigured on a mount, when it was said that his face “shone as the brightness of the sun and moon.”

· In some traditions, he died on a cross.

· He was resurrected, as his coverings were unrolled from his body and his tomb was opened by supernatural powers.

· Buddha ascended bodily to Nirvana or “heaven.”

· He was called “Lord,” “Master,” the “Light of the World,” “God of Gods,” “Father of the World,” “Almighty and All-knowing Ruler,” “Redeemer of All,” “Holy One,” the “Author of Happiness,” “Possessor of All,” the “Omnipotent,” the “Supreme Being,” the “Eternal One.”

· He was considered the “Sin Bearer,” “Good Shepherd,” the

“Carpenter,”cclxvi the “Infinite and Everlasting,”cclxvii and the “Alpha and Omega.”

· He came to fulfill, not destroy, the law.

· Buddha is to return “in the latter days” to restore order and to judge the dead.”

In addition to the characteristics of the “teaching/savior god” as outlined above, the Buddhistic influence in Christianity includes: Renouncing the world and its

riches, including sex and family; the brotherhood of man; the virtue of charity and turning the cheek; and conversion. That Buddhism preceded Christianity is

undeniable, as is its influence in the world long prior to the beginning of the Christian era. As Walker relates:

Established 500 years before Christianity and widely publicized throughout the Middle East, Buddhism exerted more influence on early Christianity than church fathers liked to admit, since they viewed Oriental religions in general as devil worship. . . . Stories of the Buddha and his many incarnations circulated incessantly

throughout the ancient world, especially since Buddhist monks traveled to Egypt, Greece, and Asia Minor four centuries before Christ, to spread their doctrines. . . .

Many scholars have pointed out that the basic tenets of Christianity were basic tenets of Buddhism first; but it is also true that the ceremonies and trappings of both

religions were more similar than either has wanted to acknowledge.

As to Buddhistic influence in the specific area where the Christ drama purportedly took place, Larson states:

Buddhist missionaries penetrated every portion of the then known world, including Greece, Egypt, Baktria, Asia Minor, and the Second Persian Empire. Palestine must

have been permeated by Buddhist ideology during the first century. . . . The literature of India proves that Jesus drew heavily upon Buddhism, directly or indirectly, to obtain not simply the content of His ethics, but the very form in which it was delivered. Both Gautama and Jesus found parable effective.

Indeed, it seems that a number of Jesus’s parables were direct lifts from Buddhism; for example, that of the prodigal son.

The existence of Buddhism in the Middle East during the Christian era is acknowledged by Christian apologists themselves such as Cyril and Clement of Alexandria, who said the Samaneans or Buddhists were priests of Persia.

Furthermore, a number of scholars have pushed back the origins of Buddhism many thousands of years prior to the alleged advent of Gautama Buddha. Albert Churchward also traces the Buddha myth originally to Egypt:

The first Buddha was called Hermias, and can be traced back to Set of the Egyptians; he originated in the Stellar Cult. Later, however, the Solar Cult was carried to India, and the Buddha is there the representative of Ptah of the Egyptians. . . . . Sakya-Muni or Gautama, whose life and history were evolved from the pre-extant mythos, the true Buddha, . . . could become no more historical than the Christ of the gnosis. If Buddhism could but explicate its own origins, it would become apparent that it is both natural and scientific, i.e. the old Stellar Cult of Egypt. But the blind attempt to make the Buddha historical in one person will place it ultimately at the bottom of a dark hole.

Higgins also evinced that true “Buddhism” is much more ancient than the legends of the Buddha, since in ancient Indian temples long predating the era of

“Gautama” are depictions of the Buddha as a black man, not only in color but in feature.

In Higgins’s opinion, Buddhism has been the most widespread religion on the planet, also found in England, where it was the religion of the Druids. He also

states that the “Hermes of Egypt, or Buddha, was well known to the ancient Canaanites,” i.e., the people who preceded and in large part became the Israelites.

Therefore, Buddhism was no doubt an early influence on Hebrew thought and religion.
