I have to assume that you are intelligent enough to "rip to shreds" the posting on your won perhaps using the video as your source material. This is a forum for written communication, not YouTube.

How so? Christianity is steeped in paganism. It's roots are pagan. It hijacked pagan holidays and traditions for cripes sake..

Yes Christianty has roots in Paganism that's nothing new but Mithra didn't have a virgin birth nor did he die for the sons of man. Christianty is
unique when it comes to those two things. People seem to be reaching when it comes to Mirtha.

Virgin births and divine conceptions are very common in the ancient religions of India, China and Egypt among other places.

No religion can boast about all the prophecies about the true Messiah, Jesus before He came and which He fulfilled.

The Daniel prophecy given when he was captive in Babylon that there would be an exact number of year given from the going forth of the word to rebuild Jerusalem to the coming of Messiah was exactly fulfilled by Jesus. This is not in accord with any other religion.

Also, Jesus died for all mankind, was entombed and rose from the dead the third day. All mankind eventually will be saved due to Christ's death, burial and resurrection. This also is not in accord with any other religion.

Prior to that day the Church of the nations will meet Christ in the air (this also is not in any other religion) and will transport them all into the kingdom of the Son of His love among the celestials. Give me one religion this comes from.

And this group is going to head up all in the Christ, all in the heavens and all on the earth. (Eph.1:9-11). Not one religion ever had that.

The OP is BS.

Well, there has to be something original about this particular story. It would be no fun if it was exactly like any number of other divine incarnation accounts in other religions.

BTW, resurrection stories were common in many ancient religions as well.

They have their own dramatization. After all, even Moses' God has a variety of dramatic effects, primarily via Christianity, Judaism and Islam.
