Horus (Egypt 3000 BC)- Born on Dec.25th, Born of a Virgin, Star in the East, Adorned by 3 Kings, Teacher at the age of 12, Baptized/Ministry at the age of 30, Had 12 Disciples, Performed miracles such as healing the sick and walking on water. He was known by many names such as "the truth", "lamb of god", "the Light", etc. After being betrayed "Typhon", he was crucified and buried for 3 days and was resurrected Mithras Many events in the story of Jesus' life and birth are either coincidental or borrowings from earlier and contemporary pagan religions. The most obviously similarrity of these is Mithraism For over three hundred years the rulers of the Roman Empire worshipped the god Mithras. Known throughout Europe and Asia by the names Mithra, Mitra, Meitros, Mihr, Mehr, and Meher, the veneration of this god began around 2600 years ago in Persia, where it was soon imbedded with Babylonian doctrines. The faith spread east through India to China, and reached west throughout the entire length of the Roman frontier; from Scotland to the Sahara Desert, and from Spain to the Black Sea. Sites of Mithraic worship have been found in Britain, Italy, Romania, Germany, Hungary, Bulgaria, Turkey, Persia, Armenia, Syria, Palestine, and North Africa. In Rome, more than a hundred inscriptions dedicated to Mithras have been found, in addition to 75 sculpture fragments, and a series of Mithraic temples situated in all parts of the city. An inscription to Mithras which parallels John 6:53-54 says" He who will not eat of my body and drink of my blood, so that he will be made on with me and I with him, the same shall not know salvation." One of the largest Mithraic temples built in Italy now lies under the present site of the Church of St. Clement, near the Colosseum in Rome. The widespread popularity and appeal of Mithraism as the final and most refined form of pre-Christian trinities was discussed by the Greek historian Herodotus, the Greek biographer Plutarch, the philosopher Porphyry, Origen and St. Jerome the church Fathers. Mithraism was quite often noted by many historians for its many shocking similarities to Christianity. The faithful referred to Mithras as "the Light of the World", symbol of truth, justice, and loyalty. He was mediator between heaven and earth and was a member of a holy trinity. According to Persian mythology, Mithras was born of a virgin given the title "mother of god." The god remained celibate throughout his life, and valued self-control, renunciation and resistance to sensuality among his worshippers. Mithras represented a system of ethics in which brotherhood was encouraged in order to unify against the forces of evil. The worshippers of Mithras held strong beliefs in a celestial heaven and an infernal hell. They believed that the benevolent powers of the god would sympathize with their suffering and grant them the final justice of immortality and eternal salvation in the world to come. They looked forward to a final Day of Judgment in which the dead would resurrect, and to a final conflict that would destroy the existing order of all things to bring about the triumph of light over darkness. Purification through a ritualistic baptism was required of the faithful, who also took part in a ceremony in which they drank wine and ate bread to symbolize the body and blood of the god. Mithras traveled as a teacher and illuminator of men with twelve disciples. Sundays were held sacred, and the birth of the god was celebrated annually on December 25th, the temple of Mithras was lit with candles, priests in white garments celebrated the birth of the son of god and boys burned incense. After the earthly mission of this god had been accomplished, he took part in a Last Supper with his companions before ascending to heaven, to forever protect the faithful from above. Mithraic rituals brought about the transformation and Salvation of his adherents, an ascent of the soul of the adherent into the realm of the divine. It was written on the wall of a Mithraic temple in Rome: "And thou hast saved us by shedding the eternal blood." Aside from Christ and Mithras, there were plenty of other deities (such as Osiris, Tammuz, Adonis, Attis, and Dionysus) said to have died and resurrected. Many classical heroic figures, such as Hercules, Perseus, and Theseus, were said to have been born through the union of a virgin mother and divine father. Hindu Trinity The One God is symbolized by three gods, as universal forces of the universe. Each aspect containing one another. Each god also has it's *goddess consort (female aspect). The Trimurti. Brahma - creator of the universe. *Saraswati Vishnu - preserver of the universe. *Lakshmi Shiva - destroyer of the universe. *Kali The three gunas (fundamental attributes, modes of being) Sattva - Purity (Essence) Rajas - Activity Tamas - Inertia Sumerian Trinity Anu - Supreme Lord of the Sky, Lord of constellations. Enki (Ea) - Lord of Waters, intelligence, creation. Enlil - Lord of Air and Earth (King of Heaven and Earth), god of weather. Greek, Roman Mythology Zeus Poseidon and Hades Greek - The Three Fates known as Moraie were goddesses of destiny. They would appear three nights after the birth of a newborn to assigning it's destiny through birth, life, and death. Roman gods - Jupiter, Neptune, Pluto Even the Goddess had a Trinity Athena, Artemis and Hera Minerva, Diana and Juno Pagan- Celtic, Druid Trinity Triquetra - Maiden, Mother, Crone; Triple Goddess; Mother, Father, Child. It is used to symbolize many celtic, pagan associations. Awen - Three rays of the sun, divine inspiration. Left ray, feminine force Central ray, balance Right ray, masculine force As you can See from this Article that While Yes Pagan Religions borrowed the same ideas and stories and Gods and Goddess The Same God or Goddess is known by multiple names so it would make Sense that these stories are linked to each other now you know the Truth and The Truth Sets you Free
