Paganism vs Christianity The REAL Origins of Your Beliefs

[@AlbertinoSnake]

All they said is actually incorrect. These are assumptions. Just because they are similar does not mean that they are the same. These points are fallacious and based not their assumptions

Thank you for your comment! It’s true that similarities between practices or symbols don’t necessarily mean they share the same origins or meanings. The video aims to explore historical and cultural contexts, not to equate one belief system with another. While some parallels between Christianity and pagan traditions exist, they can often be explained by cultural adaptation or shared human experiences rather than direct influence. Historical analysis can sometimes involve assumptions, but it’s also an opportunity to encourage deeper study and discussion. We appreciate your perspective-critical thinking is always valuable in exploring these complex topics. Feel free to share more of your thoughts!

@TaleforgeTV1 there is also an issue with your argument. In Africa, the Christians Empire of Axum celebrates Christmas and Easter and they are not Pagan.

You raise a great point about the Christian Kingdom of Axum in Africa. The Aksumite Empire (modern-day Ethiopia and Eritrea) adopted Christianity in the 4th century CE under King Ezana, making it one of the earliest Christian states in the world. Their celebration of Christmas (Genna) and Easter (Fasika) reflects deeply rooted Christian traditions unique to the region, distinct from pagan influences. It’s worth noting that Axum’s Christianity developed independently of many European traditions, primarily influenced by connections to the Near East, particularly through early Jewish and Christian teachings. The Ethiopian Orthodox Church maintains its own liturgical calendar and traditions, including celebrations like Timket (Epiphany), which reflect its rich and distinct Christian heritage. Your comment highlights an important nuance: while some cultural traditions may show parallels to older practices, others, like those in Axum, demonstrate the diverse ways Christianity took root and flourished without direct pagan connections. Thanks for bringing this fascinating example into the conversation!
