Is it true that the Egyptian god Horus has strikingly similarity's with Jesus of Nazareth?

If so, where is the evidence?Is it true that the Egyptian god Horus has strikingly similarity's with Jesus of Nazareth?
No such thing.


#1-Horus and Jesus are born from a virgin. Horus’s mother is Isis. Isis was married to Osiris. We do not know for what length of time, but presumably the marriage was consummated. Whether it was or wasn’t doesn’t matter though. After Osiris is killed, Isis puts him back together again (he was hacked into 14 pieces) except for his penis which was tossed in a river or a lake. Iris fashions a substitute penis for him, humps him and here comes Horus. There is nothing virginal about that.


#2-Both Horus and Jesus were born to a Mary and Joseph. (Seb) Isis is Horus’s mother’s name not Mary. In addition, Seb is not Horus’s father, Osiris is. Seb is Osiris’s father. Further, Seb is a distinct name from Joseph. Putting them side by side does not make them synonyms, and that appears to be what was done here.


#3-Both were born of royal descent. This is accurate.


#4-Both births were announced by angels and witnessed by shepherds. Nothing mentions that the birth of Horus was announced by an angel or witnessed by shepherds. I have found that Horus was born in a swamp, which is a pretty unlikely place for shepherds. In addition Acharya mentions that Horus was born in a cave. Massey makes no mention of this, although he does represent that Mithra was born in a cave.


#5-Both were heralded by stars and angels. There is no star that heralded Horus’s birth nor is there any angel announcing it. Archarya in a footnote in The Origins of Christianity indicates that that there are three stars named the three kings in Orion and then relates this to the birth of Jesus. When we look to the stories regarding Horus, we find no star or angel announcing his birth. To the extent that Acharya S relies upon Massey and Massey relies upon what is depicted in the panels at Luxor see (from an atheist) further regarding virgin birth and pronouncement by angels http://www.frontline-apologetics.com/car…


#6-Both had later visitors (Horus-3 deities and Jesus-3 wisemen.)


There is no indication that there ever were 3 wisemen. The bible never mentions the number of wisemen, nor is there any document that reflects 3 deities at the birth of Horus. See the website referenced in Claim #5.


#7-Both had murder plots against them.There is mention that Seth did want to kill Horus, and Herod wanted to kill Jesus. so this is accurate.


#8-Both came of age at 12, were baptized and their baptizers were executed.


There is no indication that Horus was preaching in a temple when he was 12. In fact, Massey indicates that Hours the child was depicted as a “weakling.” That doesn’t jive with story of Jesus preaching in the temple. Again this appears to have been a confabulation from Acharya and repeated by others. Horus was never baptized in any of the Horus stories. In addition, Acharya mentions that John the Baptist is actually Anup the Baptizer. This individual is never mentioned anywhere in any Horus account. There is not even a footnote in Archaya’s on-line work The Origins of Christianity to support this. There is nothing.


#9-Both had 12 disciples. According to the Horus accounts, Horus had four semi-gods that were followers. There is some indication of 16 human followers and an unknown number of blacksmiths that went into battle with him. Horus did not have 12 disciples. Jesus reportedly did. Acharya failed to give a footnote to support this.


Massey points to a mural in the Book of Hades in which there are twelve reapers. Horus is not present in this scene. For Massey to make this connection he goes to a different scene within the same mural. In this scene there is a picture of a god whose name is the Master of Joy. Horus is never depicted although in other murals the artists do depict Horus. Had the artists ascribed 12 reapers in any relation to Horus all they had to do was put Horus at the scene. They did not.


#10-Both walked on water. Horus didn’t, or at least there is no record that I can find that he did. Massey does not maintain that Hours did. Massey uses wild conjecture to connect the story of fish man, Oannes, not Horus, to Jesus. Oannes came out of the sea during the day, and went back into the sea at night. Massey makes the two analogous because by his calculations, Jesus walked on water during the day.As to Acharya, she as usual provides nothing to substantiate this.


#11-Both performed miracles. This is true although the miracles were different in scope and nature.


#12 Both exorcised demons and raised Lazarus. The actual claim is that Horus raised Osiris from the dead and that the name Osiris morphed to Lazarus. It doesn’t matter because Horus did not bring Osiris back to life. There is no mention of this in any document regarding the story. Horus did avenge Osiris’s death, but that did not raise Osiris from the dead


#13-Both held a Sermon on the Mount; both were transfigured on a mountain, died by crucifixion along with two thieves and were buried in tombs where they paid a quick visit to Hell and then rose from the dead after 3 days time, both resurrections were witness by women, and both will supposedly reign for 1,000 years in the Millennium. These are the most damning claims if they were proven true in my opinion. Yet, I can locate none of this. No sermon, no transfiguration, certainly no crucifixion w/ two thieves, no trip to hell and no resurrection. There was an incident in which Horus was torn to pieces and Iris requested the crocodile god to fish him out of the water he was tossed into, which was done, but that’s it. I am at a loss to refute this because I can not find anything to support it. Massey does compares a story about the Autumn Equinox related to Osiris, not Horus, as the symbolic crucifixion. There is no indication that Horus is involved in any way. There is no mention by Massey of any Sermon on the Mount. No mention or any actual crucifixion, no two thieves, no burial in a tomb. Massey does not maintain that anything of the sort occurred with HorusIs it true that the Egyptian god Horus has strikingly similarity's with Jesus of Nazareth?
Of course a man named Jesus existed. But all accounts of him were crafted by men to draw a parallel between him and Moses (see Matthew, most specifically).





Moses of course was a fictional character created in the Old Testament, which was plagiarized from Babylonian, Sumerian and Egyptian mythology.
Nah , its his son Osiris that have amazing similarity to Jesus [the fake] .





Osiris was betrayed by Set his brother from Horus [Father of all Gods] , Set torn Osiris to parts and sent each part to a different place in Egyptian Kingdom , Osiris faithful wife Isis [daughter of Horus] collected his parts and resurrected him .





simple ?





Peace
Horus they say was born of a virgin...lol Isis...


There are many Horus gods none of which resemble Christ in any way.


They have made up these stories with no truth whatsoever and easily debunked.





Zeitgeist was easily and thoroughly and laughably embarrassingly debunked.





I find it humorous people still quote it as fact.


It shows that some people simply believe whatever they hear without researching..laughable because it is usually atheist accusing Christians of being gullible.
For one thing the town of Nazareth didn't exist until 100 AD, the three wise Kings story is plagiarized from paganism as is Jesus being the ';son of god'; and the trinity is the same as other Triune Gods, Mithra, Horus etc. The life and ';death'; of Jesus was made to coincide with preexisting pagan festivals.





I'll tell you one thing though, Jesus Christ really existed as did the other Prophets and Isa/Jesus will return before Judgment Day.
No, there are many stories about a random god's death and resurrection, that does not mean the were all rip-off of each other any more than every other superhero rips off the story of Superman. The death/rebirth thing had to do with the seasons, dead in winter, rise in spring, and so many stories arose independently. The story of Jesus has nothing to do with planting crops or flooding the Nile each year.
if there was actually a being that lived before jesus, is anyone sure it was not just a prophecy that became a legend that became a misunderstanding that someone faked an impersonation over?





now it is written in the LDS scriptures that jesus did create other worlds. it is also written in the bible that two disciples saw a man along the way whom had a different Body but the scripture seems to imply it was still jesus. despite the fact that it says elsewhere that Jesus does not appear as a man traveling in earth.


then it says that God never changes.





so one has to study whether jesus and horus are the same being or that both ever truly lived or if one faked to be horus.
I don't think so. But the devil does try to have his copy cats of God. Mostly to deceive people.





Jesus is the Word of God in the beginning. Who was with God in the beginning and who was God with God in the beginning. John1.





And the Seed of the Woman (Savior) was promised right after the fall of Adam. So the devil had tried to usurp Jesus identity more than enough times.
You want evidence of a myth being similar to a man in the bible?


The stupid makes my brain hurt.


Yes, Horus was WAYYYY before Jesus, he healed sick, fixed the blind, raised the dead, came back after 3 days from the dead, immaculate conception, etc.


Also, many of the names in the Egyptian mythology translate into the ones in the bible used in the similar stories. (The dude Jesus rose from the dead was one, sorry I spaced on his name)
It was a man made god, for crine out loud! So their is no evidence nobody knows what Christ really looked like. We weren't there. All is we know is that He was a jew. He was God in the flesh. Which means He must've been quite a sight! ~~But the importance of His life can forever change our life if we want Him to....





Christ died to pay for man's sin debt, so we do not have to spend an eternity in hell. Because we are not perfect we can't pay our way.





But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.(Romans 5:8)





Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.(John14:6)





That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.(Romans10:9)





whosoever will, will be blessed! We confess our sins,ask Jesus to forgive us of our sins, believing in our heart we ask Jesus to be our personal Saviour.
No similarity, Zeitgeist should be taken with a pinch of salt.


Also Jesus might have been predicted many times before the OT, think about it.





Sinner the Agnostic.
Horus has the face of an eagle/hawk....
Nope.
