Did pagan mythologies represent Christs miracles in order to convince them to accept the Christian faith? Beyond these miracles is there enough evidence to prove there was a Jesus? Cutner says no. He also says that the Apostle Paul never portrayed Jesus as a man, but as a spiritual being. To Paul, Christ is found in a spiritual sense within oneself, as opposed to being an actual historical personage. When the Church accepted Paul, this inner reflection was outwardly projected by the Church into an actual mana saviour, according to Cutner. This might be why Paul was almost rejected by the Churchhis views posed a danger to those who might rely on their own spiritual knowledge, rather than the authority of the Church. Whether Jesus lived or not, we still have a lot to learn about ourselves and our true place in the universe. This book, although critical, may be useful in that respect.

Early Christianity had its origin in the eschatological ministry of Jesus. After his death, his initial followers banded together to form an apocalyptic messianic Jewish sect, known as Judeo- Christians, during the late Second Temple period in the 1st century. Initially, the prevailing belief was that the resurrection of Jesus marked the beginning of the end of times. However, over time, this perspective evolved into anticipating the second coming of Jesus and the beginning of the Kingdom of God at a future time. References: Fredriksen, 2018. Barnett, Paul (2002). Jesus, the Rise of Early Christianity: A History of New Testament Times. InterVarsity Press. p. 21. ISBN 0-8308-2699-8. Alister McGrath, former professor of historical theology at the University of Oxford, claims that many of the “Jewish Christians” of the first century were completely faithful religious Jews. Referencia: McGrath, Alister E. (2006). Christianity: An Introduction. Blackwell Publishing. ISBN 1-4051-0899-1. p. 174: «In effect, they [Jewish Page 1 de 389 Christ and his myths Christians] seemed to regard Christianity as an affirmation of every aspect of contemporary Judaism, with the addition of one extra belief — that Jesus was the Messiah. Unless males were circumcised, they could not be saved (Acts 15:1)». Historically, Christians of Jewish descent who adhered to the prescriptions of the Mosaic Law constituted a significant part of Christianity in the 1st century. However, due to the tumultuous historical events that affected Palestine during that period, this current experienced a considerable dispersion. Over time, this community diversified, giving rise to a series of groups with diverse theologies and beliefs. In the West, these Judaizing Christian variants became extinct during the 4th century, while in the East, their decline lasted until the 6th century. The Christian movement has its genesis in Palestine as a Jewish sect of an apocalyptic messianic type, which evolved in the Roman world from the 1st to the 4th century, in groups of Judeo-Christian Romans with a Hellenic imprint and symbology, many of the parables of the New Testament have a marked Pythagorean aesthetic. The authorship of the term "Judeo-Christianity" is attributed to a liberal Protestant biblical exegete, Ferdinand Christian Baur, founder of the Tübingen school, in an article published in 1831. Christianity in the First Century encompasses the formative history of Christianity, from the beginning of Jesus' ministry (c. 27-29 AD) to the death of the last of the Twelve Page 2 de 389 Christ and his myths Apostles (c. 100) (and therefore Therefore, it is also known as the Apostolic Age). Early Christianity spans several historical periods, each of which played a crucial role in the development of the Church. The ancient church era is generally divided into several stages, including the period of the apostolic fathers, the apologists, the early Christian martyrs, the church fathers, and the late ancient imperial church. This period extends from the early days of Christianity to the Council of Chalcedon in the year 451 and is considered an integral part of the history of the Church. In the Western Church, the early church era often extends to the fall of the Western Roman Empire. Some authors extend this period to the papacy of Gregory the Great (540-604), considered the last father of the Western Church. Gregory is also recognized in the Eastern Church. This extension marks the end of a crucial phase in the history of the Church and is characterized by the transition from antiquity to the Middle Ages. Paul of Tarsus, also known as Saul of Tarsus or Saul Paul, and venerated as Saint Paul (born in Tarsus, Cilicia, around 5-10 AD and died in Rome in the year 58-67), is recognized as the "Apostle of the Gentiles", the "Apostle to the nations" or simply "the Apostle". This influential character played a fundamental role in the founding of Christian communities and stood out as Page 3 de 389 Christ and his myths an evangelizer in important urban centers of the Roman Empire, such as Antioch, Corinth, Ephesus and Rome. In addition to his work as a preacher, Paul was the author of some of the first canonical Christian writings, including the First Epistle to the Thessalonians, considered the oldest known. His impact on early Christianity is undeniable, establishing himself as a leading figure and one of the most influential personalities in the entire history of Christianity. References:Brown (2002). Introduction to the New Testament, II, p. 557: "Along with Jesus, Paul has been the most influential character in the history of Christianity." Vidal García (2007). Pablo. From Tarsus to Rome, p. 11: "Obviously, Paul's presence in early Christianity was not that of a simple witness, but that of a qualified and, in several aspects, unique actor.” Analysis of the authentic epistles of Paul of Tarsus reveals the unique amalgamation of his Jewish roots, the profound influence of Hellenic culture, and his remarkable interaction with the Roman Empire. The letters written by Paul offer a fascinating vision of his identity, in which his Jewish heritage converges, which shaped his spiritual perspective, the rich influence of Hellenic culture that formed his thought and expressions, and his notorious connection with the Roman Empire. , to which, according to the story in the book of the Acts of the Apostles, he held citizenship. This complex combination of cultural influences and identities underscores the diversity that Page 4 de 389 Christ and his myths characterizes Pablo's life and work, highlighting his ability to adapt and communicate effectively in different contexts. His ability to resonate with both Jewish and Gentile audiences, as well as his role in spreading the Christian message in the cultural melting pot of the Mediterranean world, contribute to cementing his position as an extraordinary figure in religious and cultural history. of early Christianity. The early community of Jerusalem marked the beginning of Christian gatherings after Pentecost, developing between the 1930s and 1970s. In Christian history, early Christianity refers to the emergence of faith after the death of Jesus around the year 30 or 33. Some scholars place its conclusion with the writing of the synoptic gospels around 90 AD, while others associate it with the appearance of the apologists in the second century.

A classic resource that connects the cardinal doctrines of Christianity to their origins in the ancient civilizations that preceded the religion. In Pagan Origins of the Christ Myth, John G. Jackson sources the pagan origins of Christian doctrine with particular focus on the creation and atonement myths. Rooted in historical facts, Jackson’s claims are steeped in research and demonstrate how Christianity synthesizes the rituals, beliefs, and characteristics of savior gods from ancient Egyptian, Greek, Aztec, and Hindu origins. Initially published in 1941, this concise introduction remains an insightful contribution to comparative religion studies.

Thomas Doane's thorough examination of Old and New Testament Biblical myths and legends, drawing parallels to stories belonging to older traditions, such as those of ancient Egypt. The central purpose of the text is to unite, in a single compendium, analysis of all the Bible myths which bear resemblance to earlier tales. Doane's system is practical; the myths are recounted, examined and compared against their apparent forebears in chronological order. The purpose is to demonstrate that religions share much in common with one another; while their themes and the names of figures change, the character of the tales and legends remains similar or even identical across centuries of lore. At the outset, Doane acknowledges that very little of this book is entirely original; what is special and unique to this work is its arrangement, and the systematic, readable manner in which the subject is tackled. Each chapter is amply annotated, that the reader may consult both the Bible and surviving texts of other religious works, plus previous scholarly researches into ancient mythologies. Perhaps most controversially, Doane focuses upon the tale of Christ. His birthplace, the events in which he was involved, the subject and message of his sermons, and his untimely death upon the crucifix are shown to mirror aspects of previous stories concerned prophets or holy men of other religious traditions.

Are you strong enough to handle the truth about your faith and belief? Since infancy you have been taught stories from the Bible. Did you know that they are simply myths and superstitions, gathered together from the veils of antiquity? The priests of the ancient world were seeking a new method of power and control over the masses. In this book you will be given truths and directed to paths of reality. All religions are created for control and wealth. Jesus never existed and there is no evidence that a benevolent God watches over his children. There is also the same lack of proof that an Allah, a Buddha, or a Krishna ever existed or exists today. What we have developed is a path to the total destruction of mankind. Our planet earth is being torn apart by foolish beliefs which are promoted and supported by the weaknesses of a mass of human beings who have to have a security blanket. Collectively the nations of the world are on an inevitable collision course and the cause is religion. This is the ultimate results of a child's game of, "my God is bigger than your God "

Excerpt from The Christ Myth Since David Frederick Strauss, in his "Life of Jesus," attempted for the first time to trace the Gospel stories and accounts of miracles back to myths and pious fictions, doubts regarding the existence of an historical Jesus have never been lulled to rest. Bruno Bauer also in his "Kritik der evangelischen Geschichte und der Synoptiker" (1841-42, 2nd ed. 1846), disputed the historical existence of Jesus; later, in his "Christ und die Cäsaren, der Ursprung des Christentums aus dem römischen Griechentum" (1877), he attempted to show that the life of Jesus was a pure invention of the first evangelist, Mark, and to account for the whole Christian religion from the Stoic and Alexandrine culture of the second century, ascribing to Seneca especially a material influence upon the development of the Christian point of view. But it was reserved for the present day, encouraged by the essentially negative results of the so-called critical theology, to take up the subject energetically, and thereby to attain to results even bolder and more startling.
