Answer for yourself:Does any of this sound familiar and something you havelearned in church about Jesus as well? What does this say about Jesus and certainteachings like:
John 14:6 6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: noman cometh unto the Father, but by me. (KJV)
Answer for yourself:How is the depiction of Jesus in the New Testament differentfrom all the rest of these solar gods or is it? Is the "Jesus Story" a clone of prior"savior stories"?Answer for yourself: Time does not allow nor space in just one article to compare allof these solar heroes with the "Jesus Story" but let me ask you something; are youaware that the "original" and first "Jesus Story" is the story of Osiris thatoriginated in Egypt thousands of years before the supposed "historical Jesus?
