"This question is often asked especially in light of the viral film ‘Zeitgeist’ a mega-popular documentary about the New World Order and Illuminati. The movie spent over 30 minutes attacking the Bible and the Christian faith and specifically the idea that the story of Jesus Christ in the Gospels is nothing more than a copy of the story of the Egyptian God Horus, Mithras and other pagan gods. This article will demonstrate that when one examines the actual historical evidence and research, Jesus Christ was clearly not a copy of Horus, Mithras, Dionysus or other pagan gods."

They will try anything to deceive us, let us stick to the Bible.

They are so desperate they will write evidence for it.

Horus really is God of the dead...literally

The Lord of course is God of the living.


Satan knowing the nature of God and understanding certain prophecies obviously duplicated these things in the pagan religions that he created to cause confusion.

Jesus is not a ''copy'' of anything.

i have watched the film long before i awoke to Christianity. the astrological aspect of it was interesting in that even the stars have been aligned to the story of Christ. the difference between them is that only in Jesus do we find the Son of the one true God. when you ask Jesus for help, you get help. though many who do receive it do not know what it is they are going through.

Jesus is the biological son of God. if you read the bible especially the book of romans you will see that it is possible for people to become an adopted child of God. in the bible it clearly talks about people being conformed to the image of Christ. some people are predetermined to be conformed to the image of Christ. to me all those things brought up in the film are simply those that were conformed to the image of Christ. because Christ had not yet come they didn't understand what was going on and tried to explain their own understanding of the experience. i know many will find fault in this line of thinking, but to me its clear that the bible does account for it.

isn't it funny that all of humanity and our history through out the world have had such a similar story and they try and use it to disprove God instead of seeing it as God at work in the world. Abraham was the first and God made his covenant with him. Jesus was the new covenant for everyone. Jesus existed in heaven before being born on earth, do not think Jesus did nothing to influence the world and the people on it before Jesus was born to earth. do not think it is not still going on today. it happened to me in april of 2009. i am a witness. Jesus is the Son of God. the blood is still at work.

There's a story about a certain sea ship. It was considered to literally be unsinkable. It was enormous for its time, and had aboard it some famous people. As it set out on its maiden voyage things seemed to be going smoothly. But then things went wrong. It struck an iceberg. A large portion of its crew and passengers died, including the captain. There weren't enough lifeboats to save people.

What ship am I talking about? Are you thinking of the RMS Titanic? Well, you're wrong. There's a story out there called "The Wreck of the Titan," written 14 years before the demise of the RMS Titanic. It's about a ship called the Titan which like the Titanic was dubbed unsinkable, carried famous celebrities, yet hit an iceberg and sunk on its maiden voyage taking down its captain and a large percentage of those aboard the ship.

Here's the point. Just because two things are similar doesn't imply that the second thing is based upon the first one. The captain of the Titanic certainly wasn't inspired to wreck the Titanic after reading that story - if he read it at all. Therefore similarity to something doesn't automatically disqualify it as being legit.

I think that the movie Zeitgeist is quite paranoid but has some interesting views on things - mostly capitalism and what the real game behind the throne is about.

I think it is a bit easy to go on the defensive and say "you are wrong!" to any atheists that comes and claim things like this. It is better to look at what is actually said and then compare it to the story of Jesus. When it comes to Horus and Jesus. Well... sure their stories may be similar. Perhaps it is not just coincidences either. Perhaps "prophets" and seers in those ancient times had visions of the messiah and tried to create Gods that would be like him = Horus. Or else it is just a coincidence.

But Jesus is the son of God of course.

But of course... I do not thing that any christian would agree otherwise. It is just for a Muslim to agree on that Islam is just a rip off of Christianity and that Mohammed was not a prophet. Of course the answer will be no.

I agree that the astrological bit is interesting... however that's the story of Christmas, not the story of Christ. They keep hammering away at this Dec 25 thing and 3 kings and all this other stuff that is part of CHRISTMAS and not part of Jesus' story in the Bible. Christmas is re-purposed from pagan tradition, which was all about astrology and earthiness. Catholics folded the Bible into those traditions for a variety of reasons and now everyone celebrates.

The fact that the zeitgeist creators and other Christianity haters don't see a difference between the holiday traditions of Christmas and what the Bible actually says about Christ should be proof enough that not only do they have no idea what they're talking about, but they don't care that they don't know.

It should also be a wake up call to us Christians, though. If our traditions aren't fairly representing the truth of God, perhaps they should be revised or abandoned entirely.

nearly all of 'zeitgeist' is pure lies...i don't know why so many people and even christians just accept the 'facts' presented in it at face value...

it is about as historically accurate as 'conan the barbarian'...
