Found this one.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hinduism


'...Hindu epics and the Puranas relate several episodes of the descent of God to Earth in corporeal form to restore dharma to society and to guide humans to moksha. Such an incarnation is called an Avatar. The most prominent avatars are of Vishnu and include Rama (the protagonist in Ramayana) and Krishna (a central figure in the epic Mahabharata)....'

Date for Mahabharata

'...The oldest preserved parts of the text are not thought to be appreciably older than around 400 BCE, though the origins of the story probably fall between the 8th and 9th centuries BCE..'

'...Within Indian religions, moksha (Sanskrit: मोक्ष mokṣa) or mukti (Sanskrit: मुक्ति), literally "release" (both from a root muc "to let loose, let go"), is the liberation from samsara and the concomitant suffering involved in being subject to the cycle of repeated death and reincarnation or rebirth...'

Christian heaven and resurection as a version of moksha? One gains release from Earthbound suffering and finds eternal peace.

I agree


just more mythology




imagine that! they did!

God made human to save the world, JC as an avatar. Obvious.

Myths build on myths as with the flood tale.

outhouse

one needs to look no further then the OT for legends that mirror parts of JC



moses, the flood, noah yes all myths.

but jesus, myth built around a man, which we all know was common in that tme place in that exact culture.


We know for a dead fact that noah and moses never existed outside literature.

The same cannot be said with credibility at all in jesus case.

The creation of the Jesus character is so rather EASY to understand.

The NT Canon is PAIRED with the very source from which the Jesus character was derived.

We have a STORY of Creation in Genesis where God formed ADAM without a human father.

Well, well, well!!!!

Who formed Jesus in the NT Canon???

The very same God who made ADAM without a human father in the Myth Fable called Genesis.

So God exists and he made ADAM and formed Jesus? Huh. Theism here I come.

Again, you display a lack of understanding of the meaning of MYTH FABLE called Genesis.

You need to take some time out. You are obviously in a state of confusion. What you are posting does not logically follow.

There is a book called Genesis and it contains a story of a God that Created ADAM without a human father and people of antiquity and up to TODAY believe that ADAM did EXIST and lived for almost 1000 years.

Examine the Myth Fable called Genesis

Genesis 2:7 KJV Genesis 5:5 KJV Christians of antiquity BELIEVED the Myth Fable that God made ADAM PRECISELY the same way they BELIEVED Jesus was the product of the Holy Ghost of God and a Woman.

ADAM is a perfect analogy of Jesus--they were both Myths and produced by God.

God is the FATHER of Mythology.

God is the Father of Jesus.

Jesus and Mythology are "siblings"

Makes for great stories.

Voice of reason

Jesus in the gospels is merely an allegory to the travels of the sun through the zodiac. It can be said with crediblitly that no Jesus as depicted in the gospels ever existed.

The sun begins its birth on Dec 25 same as Jesus.

The sun Dec 25 is in Capricorn and the first zodiac sign it runs into is Aquarius the water bearer, the first person Jesus runs into in his ministry is John the Baptist (water)

The next step of the journey for the sun is Pisces two fish and behold Jesus runs into Andrew and Peter who are? Two fisherman

Next is Aries a ram and next in the Jesus allegory is referring to Jesus as the lamb of God.

It continues through the entire zodiac far too many "coincidences".

Jesus is simply an allegorical character for the journey of the sun.

What I have provided is very basic and there are many many more things that show that Jesus is simply an allegory.

The parallels of the Jesus story and the zodiac are remarkable.
