The first mistake here is to date Christianity to the time of the life of Jesus of Nazareth, before the end of the first century. The beliefs of the originated with the later interpretations of his life and teachings, and that was happening after the earliest date given for the Roman cult of Mithras. The beliefs were quite divergent for 200 years after Jesus’ death.

@allandidonato 14 күн бұрын
No. The beliefs did not morph drastically during the time of the church fathers. There were various versions of Christianity, true, but the Fathers who represented orthodoxy as it came down in tradition constantly referred back to the first century texts. And there is great continuity .

And the biggest proof is just there: December 24th - the day Jesus is said to have been born and the birthday of Mithras. That's the longest night of the year, and it is celebrated by Persians for 3000 years. And of course, the parallel of Easter (which was added much later to Christianity) with Norooz -- first day of Spring celebrated by Persians for 3000 years.

These are not proofs at all. Those are major solar events and people have seen significance in those dates as far back as people have been star gazing. That the early church adopted such dates for their celebrations is natural and in no way dependent on Mithraism or earlier Persian festivals. The Christmas date was derived from calculation from various Passover considerations and the integral age tradition of second temple Judaism.

You're lying. There are so many Mithraic houses of worship in present date Iran and they all go back to before Christ. Famous ones are in Maraghe and in Kangavar. Please don't spread lies.
@allandidonato
@allandidonato 19 күн бұрын
The Maragheh temple lacks any evidence of Mithraic iconography. I know it was used for other purposes afterward, but you’d need some evidence that it was Mithraic in the sense we are concerned with. Mithra worship is not in question as I said, but older Mithra worship, in Persia, India, or early Anatolia are not the same as the Roman Cult we are discussing. The Kangavar temple is also a far cry from the later cult we are investigating. The point still stands.

I detect that the above video may have been produced by someone who might be sympathetic towards a current leader from Jainism or maybe towards other leader from other religions too who are trying to discredit Christianity by spreading lies about how Christianity is encouraging violence in their members which is only a pack of lies. The means which people like that are using now to try and triangulate Christian communities against one another are getting more extreme all the time. Like for example at best only using circular based on the from historical cases only and cases which are being overgeneralized based on the superficial in the community which those wolves in sheeps clothing had been using at the time during history thus being used in only their deeply flawed in both reason and so logic too arguments; At worst when producing fake news about current Christian modern day leaders while misconstruing some of their statements and phrases too said taken out of context and then distorted to mean something altogether different sometimes while using software next in a smoke and mirrors effect which should be only used to help speech therapists offer biofeedback to their clients during their speech therapy exercises while instead it is being used to create deep fake videos. The kind of person who is not just exploring their spirituality at the time while healing from their wounds caused by a wolf in sheep's clothing who is behaving in a way which is revealing instead how determined they are to be discrediting Christianity in general is only revealing more as time goes on how they too are probable a wolf in sheep's clothing too.

The Sassanian Empire especially under their founder Ardashir 1 installed an orthodox Zoroastrianism and destroyed all temples in Iran except for four fire temples in Yazd. The preceding empire Parthians were followers of Mitra and fled to Armenia which ironically became the first Christian nation. These Parthians were a feudal Knight order that had Mitra and esoteric mysticism as their religion.

The whole section where he shows mithraic cults didn't predate Christianity was pointless because his claim was fallacious - mithraic cults absolutely did not have to predate Christianity to influence it. But even so, the claim is mithraism influenced Roman Catholicism, which it does predate anyway.

First, that Mithraism didn't predate Christianity is likely true, and I went over the arguments for and against. But I wasn't addressing Mithraism and Roman Catholicism, so why are you saying that was the claim. It wasn't. And I would love to see how exactly you supposed it influenced RC.

I appreciate this presentation. Despite the lack of evidence found by researchers proving that Christianity has its root in Mithraism, I’d bet money that this Mystery Cult did influence the men whose religious ideas shaped Roman Catholicism. The ideas found in Mithraism and other Mystery Religions were prevailing ideas of the time and would have been impossible to miss the minds of the most philosophical and spiritual members of society.

Before Christianity, there was Abraham and before him was Noah and Enoch and Seth and Adam. All these men would have known the true God , the Creator of Heaven and Earth and also knew the Fallen Ones . And they abided in the Only true unseen God and yet Enoch walked with God aka Christ , Noah spoke with God aka The Word , Abraham became friends with The Best Friend - Self Sacrificial Lamb, Moses spoke with God face to face and yet The Bible and Yeshua say , no one has seen God The Father . So these mam had families and servants and what they believed in would have been carried out through different religions the same way Nimrod - Asthara - Tammuz.. You see these three throughout different religions and no one says Osiris, Isis and Horus borrowed from the Annunakis or that the Hindus are actually worshipping the Annunakis.. Everyone is trying to lower the truth within Christianity and the authority of Christianity. Christ came to fulfill ALL the prophecies and not to create a new religion . That means the truth was already there but He came to take what was written into reality and therefore it will always seem like Christianity borrowed and yet the Bible is actually a Historic Book aka New Testament while the Old Testament are the stories related with the prophecies of. Christ and the Deception of the Fallen Ones ... So this video is pointless before everyone knew the truth but also wanted to do things according to their own desires thus the spiritual adultery. Enoch knew the truth of God in the midst of The Annunakis and Giants killing human beings ... Let's not forget Job who knew the true God ..

Repeating the crap that has been said about it does not make so.
