Like how Jesus’ life is a plagarisation of religions that predate Christianity?
Or how, similarly, words in the bible to describe the “Son of God” have been used many times in religions that, again predate Christianity, have been used to describe someone such as Jesus within their reglious context? Words such as “God’s Annointed Son”, “The Good Shepherd”, “The Lamb of God” and others.
A good example would be “Horus the Sun God” of the Egyptians of around 3000BC.
Here’s a few more from different religions in different periods that were before Christianity existed:
Attis, of Phyrigia, born of the virgin Nana on December 25th, crucified, placed in a tomb and after 3 days, was resurrected.
Krishna, of India, born of the virgin Devaki with a star in the east signaling his coming, performed miracles with his disciples, and upon his death was resurrected.
Dionysus of Greece, born of a virgin on December 25th, was a traveling teacher who performed miracles such as turning water into wine, he was referred to as the “King of Kings,” “God’s Only Begotten Son,” “The Alpha and Omega,” and many others, and upon his death, he was resurrected.
Mithra, of Persia, born of a virgin on December 25th, he had 12 disciples and performed miracles, and upon his death was buried for 3 days and thus resurrected, he was also referred to as “The Truth,” “The Light,” and many others.
…any thoughts?
