Christianity a copy cat religion? MITHRAICS VS CHRISTIANITY For example 3,000 years before je---sus was born the Egyptians worshiped the god of the Sky and Sun. He was a symbol of light and was called Horus. The Sun itself was called Horus and was also called Gods Sun or The Sun of God. We get the word Horizon from Horus is risen as the Sun rises in the morning. Horus was born to a virgin mother on December 25 and was adorned by three kings who followed a star to the East. He was baptized at the same age as Je---sus and became a profound religious teacher. He had 12 disciples , one of whom betrayed him which ultimately led to his crucifixion. Horus died and rose from the grave three days later. Horus is only one of a dozen Pagan gods who have this same story and the reason is based in astrology. On the night of December 24th the tree stars of Orions belt, which have been called the Three Kings since ancient times point toward the brightest star in the East which we call Sirius. If you were to draw a line through those four stars and continue to the horizon you would find that you have marked the exact location of the sun rise on December 25th. So the three kings follow the brightest star to the east where the Sun of God is born. 1. Mithra was born of a virgin on December 25th in a cave, and his birth was attended by shepherds. 2. He was considered a great traveling teacher and master. 3. He had 12 companions or disciples. 4. Mithras followers were promised immortality. 5. He performed miracles. 6. As the great bull of the Sun, Mithra sacrificed himself for world peace. 7. He was buried in a tomb and after three days rose again. 8. His resurrection was celebrated every year. 9. He was called the Good Shepherd and identified with both the Lamb and the Lion. 10. He was considered the Way, the Truth and the Light, and the Logos, Redeemer, Savior and Messiah. 11. His sacred day was Sunday, the Lords Day, hundreds of years before the appearance of Christ. 12. Mithra had his principal festival of what was later to become Easter. 13. His religion had a eucharist or Lords 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. 14. His annual sacrifice is the passover of the Magi, a symbolical atonement or pledge of moral and physical regeneration. 15. Shmuel Golding is quoted as saying that 1 Cor. 10:4 is identical words to those found in the Mithraic scriptures, except that the name Mithra is used instead of Christ. 16. The Catholic Encyclopedia is quoted as saying that Mithraic services were conduced by fathers and that the chief of the fathers, a sort of pope, who always lived at Rome, was called Pater Patratus.
