Some authors say, that the Christian religion partly origins from the Attis cult. To support this view, they see a number of parallels, as listed below.
Attis (a deity or semi-deity in the ancient Greek culture) is known to be worshipped between 500 B.C. and 400 A.C., first in Phrygia and eventually even in Rome. During this period, the legend of Attis has taken many forms, which makes it hard to comment on the parallels. It is hard to determine which version of the legend was most popular at the time when and the place where Christianity emerged.
> One difference is, though, that Jesus's mother was human while Attis's mother Nana was a nymph. Further, Maria got pregnant by the Holy Spirit and Nana got pregnant by an almond from a daemon. Another version of the legend tells that the goddess Cybele (not a virgin) was his mother.
> Jesus was crucified and Attis killed himself, or, in an old Lydian version of the story, was killed by a boar.
> According to some versions, Attis was reborn as the evergreen pine, in another version, he just disappeared and in yet other versions, he was indeed resurrected by either Zeus or Cybele. The resurrection played an important role in the Roman cult in the first century. This may be influenced by Christianity.
> They did have a meal, but there is no evidence that this symbolized the body of Attis. Furthermore, this meal was part of an extensive yearly ritual, while in the first century the christian communion was held separately and frequently, although the exact frequency is not known.
Whether or to what extent the Christian belief was influenced by the Attis cult or vice versa is not known, but the similarities are not very striking. The theologies and the cultural contexts of both religions are very different.
gods arent real
A:A number of ancient Greek gods were quite similar to Jesus, so much so that the early Christians thought Satan must have come into the world before the time of Jesus and created these traditions in order to confuse the Christians. They could not accept the possibility that the Christian story was influenced by the pagan traditions. Strong parallels between Dionysius and Jesus have long been recognised. The story of Jesus turning water into wine parallels feats by Dionysis, seemingly intended to prove Jesus as greater than the Greek God. Dionysus is often pictured as riding a donkey amid crowds waving branches of ivy. There are parallels in the ritual meal and the Last Supper. Dionysis descended to Hades to rescue his mother; Jesus descended to hell to preach to the souls. Both symbolise the dying and returning God.
No paralleles exist. Jesus is Christ, the son of the living God. Buddah was a natural man who was idolized by other men.
Greek philosophy is not necessarily Christian. To be a Christian, you believe that Jesus is the savior of humanity.
There are so many similarities, you will be amazed. Google 'mithras' and have a look, it makes interesting reading!
"there is blood on my head" is a reference to Pontius Pilate, the man blamed for the crucifiction of Jesus. This, said by hale, who is to blame for Proctor going to hang, is said to draw parallels between Jesus and John Proctor
A:Dennis R. MacDonald (The Homeric Epics and the Gospel of Mark) has pointed out many parallels between passages in Mark's Gospel, the first New Testament Gospel to be written, and the epics of Homer, none more so than between the feast given by Telemachus and Jesus feeding the five thousand. There is no rational reason for Jesus to instruct the people to be seated in such orderly groups, until we see that this closely parallels the seating arrangement set down by Telemachus in the Odyssey.
Beware of answers here as 'Jesus' could just be a myth. There are many parallels to Greek myths and ask yourself this question. Are the laws of nature going to be suspended for one individual or did a Jewish minx tell a lie?
The Greek translation of the name Jesus is Yeshivas.
Jesus was born during the Roman period and not the Greek period.
No
No Jesus spoke aramaic.
