Topic: debunking jesus

I am so sick of hearing and reading these supposed researchers talking about the similarities of Jesus and Horus or Quetzalcoatl, Kirishna, Virishna, Buddha, Zoraster, Mithras or any of the other 80 or so such deities. They speak of it like it is such old news, when, in fact,  anyone who has ever scratched the surface researching these claims, almost immediately finds them to be simply wrong, or in some cases, like David Ickes “Virishna” (pg. 89 of The Biggest Secret) wholly unsubstantiated.

When I hear or read people using this claim to add credence to their position I know that they have simply parroted their opinions from some well liked author or speaker, although many of them tend to talk about their tireless hours of research.
I Challenge anyone who makes these claims to show me the evidence of the similarities after reading through the links I provide below, and furthermore, I challenge them to look to see if they may have jumped so readily on this bandwagon without checking their facts first because they themselves have a “pre conceived notion” complete with dogma and faith and all the things they say they hate. I don’t intend to convert anyone to my religion. I just want people to see they are being straight up lied to with this.
http://www.thedevineevidence.com/jesus_ … ities.html
This site handles the major deities and does so with tremendous references.

The above site doesn’t go into Quetzalcoatl very deeply, because of the obvious problem with Christianity being influenced by something from The “New World” not being technically feasible. I however, am quite the conspiracy theorist, and will give the benefit of the doubt to the two hemisphere’s having pre-columbian connections, so here is a thorough debunking on the Quetzalcoatl /Jesus similarities from another source:
http://www.tektonics.org/copycat/quetz.html

I like the next site because no stone is left unturned in his search for more and more “Christ myths” to debunk he has about 80 claims looked in to here:
http://kingdavid8.com/Copycat/Home.html

Now for David Icke’s “Virishna” I wish there was more information to go on, but there is no such deity, at least in our earth’s currently verifiable history. It appears when Mr Icke parroted Tim C. Leedom’s “The book your church doesn’t want you to read”  he didn’t bother with nasty business of fact checking. Here is one account of the hunt for Virishna from an earlier source:
http://kingdavid8.com/Copycat/JesusVirishna.html

The fact remains however that much like Dan Browns “Da Vinci Code” even though thoroughly debunked the concepts remain widely believed by those who WANT to hear it, and when these lies are sprinkled in with truths about the New World Order, the illuminati, and the coming world police state, it give credence where none is deserved to this notion. This principal has been applied to a new “truth movie” called ZEITGEIST but The same thing is used by Icke, and Michael Tsarion and many other people as well. I feel that the people taking over this planet know that certain truths coming out is an inevitability and so they guide you by using the information itself into at least disbelieving Christianity (which, in this writers opinion is the one thing that would give us authority over these Satanists) This is most evident in the work of people Like Zecheriah Sitchin  who has been embarrassingly debunked by Dr Michel Heiser http://sitchiniswrong.com  and when you look at how and why he lied it makes you question why he has gone to such great lengths to propagate the view he has, a view which I might add is indispensable to Mike Tsarion and the others like him It is also interesting to note that Arizona Wilder was quoted by Mr Icke as saying sitchin is a known Disinformation agent who participated in the blood rituals she describes….interesting.

Re: debunking jesus

I meet christian people, they are helping handicaped people, children and poor ones without asking for money.
I speak to christians, they talk to me about peace and are living it in thei lifes the best they can.
I listen to christian radio, and I feel harmony.
I listen to monks and I just hear humility and happiness.
I think the true essence of christianism is really good for mankind.

Destroying its roots is destroying a good source of happiness and true joy.

Re: debunking jesus

But, the true essence is not what is being promoted hate of self and giving oneself up to the collective.

I'm going to link Mr. Tsarion's views on it and it really is something to ponder.

Re: debunking jesus

The "people" who may be taking over this planet are going to have a hard job convincing
the billion or so members of Christianity that God doesn't exit.
They would rather maintain that.
At least the God that we all have been taught that exists.
There are many good people in all religions that try their best to heal the world.
It is not these that the conspiracies/theories are aimed at,( although it does imply that they
have been deceived, and are under a spell, ) but the establishment, that is, the religion,
whichever religion that may be.
Pieces of the truth are released from time to time, to establish new religions and keep
the easily board human mind, stimulated with partial truths, to keep the easily lead human mind,
sheparded into new religions, those that recently claim pre-existence is real, for instance, stunning them
with wow wow factors but never dreaming of releasing the whole picture.
It's mostly all about knowledge ,not ridicule, who has it and what is done with it.
David Icke and others like him and his listeners, do not hate anyone because of their beliefs,
at least, for their sake, I hope not.
They are just presenting another version of reality, other possibilities, that may be going on here
and not saying you have to beleive this but do with the info what you will.
In the passed, Christianity gave the info and said believe in this or die.
Listen to your heart and not what has been layed up in your head through indoctrination from birth.
Not everything those you have mentioned is taken as truth but after serious contemplation and
cross-referencing of multiple sources, yours and there's, I will draw my own conclusions.
These will probably concur with my issues above but who knows,I like to keep an open, yet guarded mind.
I am very gratefull to David and people like him.
I only use to think I had an open mind but the little doubts that keep niggling me,..
I been taught to ask questions, not to accept anything at face value,
to open the mind more and that there are possible answers to the doubts that plague you.

Re: debunking jesus

You guys are the same that were using these arguments about jesus similarities to solidify your points.. be honest...probably still will too.
As far as Tsarion, look at http://sitchiniswrong.com Tsarion NEEDS Zach’s theory in his presentation, although him and Sitchin have different "denominations" in regard to the specifics of this, he makes all the same totally false claims of the texts...check and see for yourself someone is knowingly lying to you. My advice would be to find out who, without believing first what you want to believe.
You say it will be hard for "them" to disprove Christianity to all those people....I am telling you they will soon be using your beloved "space brothers" to prove all kinds of things to you, and the Christians, and for that matter the Muslims, Jews, Hindus etc. They are going to tell you how wonderful a world government is, and you are going to readily believe anything these things tell you even though the same people that propagate the world police state are the same that will shove this down your throat. you will follow this dogma all the way down because it will seemingly disprove the Christians you hate, and in your delight of the thought of 'anything bad for the Christians is good for me', and at that time you will abandon the idea of living off the grid to avoid the world government because  only those crazed Christians need to hide in the woods becuase they got proved wrong with the aliens and now THEY are the terrorists. (I.E. Contact) and you will be encouraged to report them to the authorities (and you will)  because the "alien" technology is going to save us from their (propagated ) global warming and you will go ahead and get chipped and forget that you didn’t want a world government because “things are different now”  aliens and all. I really don’t mean to sound so preachy I really am not that kind of guy but if you can step back you might see my frustration in this conspiracy movement because we test everything diligently and when someone wants to bash Christians we seem to unanimously declare it immune from fact checking.. come on lets at least not be two face about truth…. we do have a common enemy....at least for now

Re: debunking jesus

I don't beleive anything, I only accept as truth that which has proven itself to be such.
I rely on my inner-self to manifest truth to myself.
My inner-self or higher-self cannot lie to me.


..you will follow this dogma all the way down because it will seemingly disprove the Christians you hate

Bit strong that isn't it?
Who is "you"?
I hate no-one.
You seem to be generalising.
Dogma has no place in my world.
Goverments, New World Orders and Aliens also have no place in my world.
I have no time for them.
Other humans may persecute Religious followers in the future,I have no idea,
I only know, I will not be one of them.

They are going to tell you how wonderful a world government is, and you are going to readily believe anything these things tell you even though the same people that propagate the world police state are the same that will shove this down your throat. you will follow this dogma all the way down because it will seemingly disprove the Christians you hate, and in your delight of the thought of 'anything bad for the Christians is good for me', and at that time you will abandon the idea of living off the grid to avoid the world government because  only those crazed Christians need to hide in the woods becuase they got proved wrong with the aliens and now THEY are the terrorists.

Your impying who? All are going to beleive in the aliens and Christians are wrong? were all going to get chipped, join the NWO and persecute Christians? etc etc?
Not me mate.
Not many of us.
This goes against the very grain/reason of  the "Turth" movement.
I'm not sure what your trying to imply here, it seems a bit "all over the place".
Many believe most major religious movements were created by these very "Aliens"
Many truth seekers certainly live in a different world to most Christians.
We do not see the world as "others" would have us see it
but rather look at it through very different eyes
and these eyes do not look with hate or rose tainted glasses.

..your beloved "space brothers" to prove all kinds of things to you, and the Christians, and for that matter the Muslims, Jews, Hindus etc. They are going to tell you how wonderful a world government is, and you are going to readily believe anything these things tell you even though the same people that propagate the world police state are the same that will shove this down your throat.

True , I have no idea how the future will turn out but we are already looking for this.
I certainly don't beleive the "Aliens" are our friends.
You see were I'm going with this, you points are already proven in the truth movement?
Perhaps once the NWO is established religion will no longer be required as a means of "control".
Control has passed from Rulers, Kings and Queens, to Religions, religious leaders, to Centralised  Banks to......were next?
Smoke and mirrors, it's all smoke a mirrors and all the while,behind the scenes, sit  the unseen "Elite" who know the true nature of
how everything has come about, what is going on,what is going to happen, what happens to us when we "die", who "God" really is, the true nature of the universe, etc etc.
The greatest trick a "Devil", (Higher Intelligence) could ever pull, would not be to convince the world that he did not exist but rather,  convince the world that he was that worlds "God".
Using the concept of a "Devil"  advantageously.
FlipFlop.
The intent is to expose the lie , if this debunks anything or anyone, then that is the effect of truth in action.
Exposing the Masterpiece as a fake when the layers are peeled away, does not make it yet a Masterpiece.

Re: debunking jesus

"Many believe most major religious movements were created by these very "Aliens""

what do you think of this site I wonder:
http://sitchiniswrong.com

most if not all of the people beliveing the aliens seeded man thing get it from Sitchin
maby you do not, but if you did and do then the site above is worth a look.

Its really a kick ass plan too, neo darminisim is now with all this new gene and geological data now being torn apart. this is where the scientific dogma will turn everyone NEEDS sitchin they need to explain the evolution jumps without God.
Without Sitchins "ideas" people will start asking about a creator (which in my opinion they should anyway when these aliens show up) "so how did the big bang get put in motion if not space or matter or energy werent present?" " who created you guys?" that type of thing.

If you believe in Arizona Wilder's testimony at all, then It cannot be understated that she calls out Sitchin! His philosophy is, according to her, being  created propagated by the highest levels of the " illuminati" please ask youself what good that would be for them....everything depends on you figuring this out IMHO

Re: debunking jesus

Why would the Illuminate want us to beleive that Aliens are actually who we thought was God,
to debunk Jesus, Mohammad, Moses etc, then allow this to lead to the conclusion that they do exist and do pull the strings?
These figures and religions are clearly a tool of control and responsible for the
worst attrocities every commited in this planets history?
This has instigated, sustained and allowed for humans to be constantly in fear and conflict with one another.
Divided and ruled.

Remember, although we are yet primative in intelligence and knowledge,
Way back when, mankind was virtually blind.
Show something as simple as a biro to a human 6000 years ago and you too would be a God.
Perhaps our world is being manipulated from a very different concept of time.
Can you rule this out too?



For me, personally, it's really an "inside" thing, you know?
I always had questions and suspicions regarding many elements of Religion and life.
I use to wonder how something can be created out of nothing, ie the Big Bang.
How those living in "so called" Heaven ,knowing "God", experiencing the Love and Light,
could reject a plan of advancemet, that only entailed  one visit to  earth, death then
some great reward.
"Yeah Lucifer, we'll go with you cos Gods wrong, and/ or as beings of light
we want to go into eternal misery and hurt or take as many people with us as we can."
It just doesn't add up.
Virgin birth? Surley artificial insemination can do this?
Have you read "The Gods of Eden"?
There is much documented phenomenon by humans ,as experienced,  to back up the Alien God claim,
or forces of higher intelligences operating hundereds and thousands of years ago.

When you hear and read all the material that is out there, supporting or debunking all these claims
of a Matrix, Alien Agendas, Illuminati, etc, it does, as one speaker says, start to dawn on you that
it is all plain common sense and as obvious as the nose on your face.

I have been duped before, Mormons and Scientology, two of the religions I fell for,
I was niave but no longer, I walk into this one with eyes wide open, being lead by
forces higher than myself,every fibre of my being is telling me, this is the truth,
kicking and screaming, I resist, until I can no longer allow the lie to smother the truth.

It all just makes perfect sense to me.

Re: debunking jesus

http://www.jesuspuzzle.com

No need to hate Christians, just need to make use of your rational mind. No need to rely on deity comparisons, though we should realize that 'debunking' one-for-one comparisons of individual savior gods and Jesus does not 'debunk' the very real possibility, in my opinion probability, that the Jesus character was informed by previous mythical characters and is in large part a composite of many savior god features. No need to throw away the spirituality of Christianity either. But we can do without the literalization of the gospel story which is clearly meant to be allegory and not history or the biography of a historical figure who had an earthly career. This literal exegesis is largely responsible for much of the infantile state of mind that holds our species back from evolving spiritually and mentally. Same goes for all religions, not just Christianity. I've always found it interesting how Christian conspiracy theorists (Alex Jones, Texe Marrs et al.), despite their good work (especially Jones), always fall short of realizing that the Christian dogma, the church and the Bible are an instrument used, if not fabricated, by the 'elite' they seek to expose. Why would the elite work to undermine one of their most powerful and successful tools of control and indoctriation? What reason do we have for believing such a program of "destroying" Christianity, or any religion, or of simply attempting to dismantle their associated belief systems, is even being implemented considering the prominant and influential position Christianity, Islam and Judaism in the global political, economic and ideological spheres? Imagining a situation of Christianity vs. the Elite Satanists is failing to place religion in its proper historical and political context, and an exercise in false dichotomisation as wel as a misappropriation of conspiratorial skepticism.

Re: debunking jesus

well from my perspective, I always find it interesting that all you new age cats, talk about how religion is used to control the sheeple and that its obviously a composite of earlier religions etc. failing to realize that christianity as presented by the founder is NOTHING like what the NWO types shoves down your throats you all seem to fail to see that you are being shown the evils of the catholic church and TBN in place of a very simple suggestion that God became a man so that (under his own law) he could be the sacrafice that would prepare us so that he might dwell in us. first off in the spirit of the thread I humbaly ask anyone to make a revised list of these similarities after reading through my original post, just pick one Horus, Virishna, Dionysis, Im easy, as long as the version used was written BCE..Show us all these connectons I will predict that you wont do this and I bet I can go through all of your previous posts here to find you talking about how clear cut the "facts" are that some such God was born of a virgin, died on a cross, and was ressurected on the third day.

Re: debunking jesus

As I said earlier, debunking a one-for-one correlation between an ancient savior god and Jesus does not dismantle the theory that he fits the mold of the savior god archetype and has many features of this model. It is easy to "debunk" comparisons on an ad hoc basis because he is not a "copycat" figure, he is like all the other examples of sacrificed heroes: a composite of features. I am not going to "just pick one" because I know it can be proven that Jesus is different. He is unlike any one of them. This doesn't make his story original. Take the whole of features shared across the board of hero myths, stories of sacraficed savior gods, and tally them up and you'll see the similiraties in all of them, including Capt. Jebus. This exercise in "shooting down" any comparison between this or that god and Jesus is futile. It does, however, show the inadequacy of the "Jesus is a copycat argument". I agree with that. In my earlier post I provided a link that makes no such argument, perhaps only mentioning it in passing, but instead relies on early Christian writings, the Gospel, and an examination of the historical, ideological and political milieu in which Christianity arose. The author finds no clear reference to an physical ministry of Jesus but instead sees that the early Christians themselves thought of Jesus as a god who existed only in a spiritual realm. If you want I also recommend the book with the same name and by the same author of the website. It can be ordered on Amazon and I don't think it's very expensive. It is the most concise work arguing for a mythicist theory of Jesus yet written. Apologists have yet to "debunk" any of it in a meaningful way without relying on faith-based arguments.
In regards to Christianity as presented by "the founder", there are several passages attributed to Jesus in the Bible which seem quite in line with the destructive, tyranical and controlling attitude of the "NWO types". I'm not saying Jesus was an evil man incarnated as an agent of the Illuminati. Fictional carachters aren't evil, nor incarnate. And we also do not need to equate the Catholic church to Christianity as a whole, an obvious mistake I and many do not make. By the way, who you calling a "new age cat"? wink

Care to show us how? I would love some specifics, especially remembering that the Torah (written 2-3000 years before “Capt Jebus”) has over 300 very specific prophesies about there coming messiah. Including the virgin birth and plenty others (I mention this because debunkers tend to overlook this fact…not that you would of course) The whole bible is in some way about this, the good “captain”  having become a man to save us, but not in the way the most Jewish people were thinking he would save them.  Please be my guest give your fellow humanist some cannon fodder now that they cant, (or shouldn’t if they are decent) use the copycat arguments..
Regale us with the tales of these “hero myths, stories of sacraficed savior gods” and “tally them up” some we can all see how all the religions connect and get this over with.

Re: debunking jesus

I am happy to oblige. First, let's quickly situate the conception of early Christianity in its historical and cultural milieu. It arose in the Roman empire surrounded by Greco-Roman salvation cults and Jewish philosophy which have been influencing each other since at least the 4th century BCE when Alexander the Great conquered most of the known world. Alexander's empire soon fragmented into warring mini-empires and eventually Rome rolled east and imposed its own absolute rule. It was a troubled, often pessimistic time. Stoics, Epicureans, Platonists and others offered new moral and intellectual ways of coping with life and the unpredictable world. Understanding the ultimate Deity and establishing personal ethics were central concerns of all these movements. Wandering philosophers became a kind of popular clergy, frequenting the marketplace and people's homes. Healing gods, Oriental mysticism, a whole paraphernalia of magic and astrology were added to the pot to cope with another dimension to the world's distress: the vast panoply of unseen spirits and demons and forces of fate which were now believed to pervade the very atmosphere men and women moved in, harassing and crippling their lives. The buzzword was personal "salvation." And for the growing number who believed it could not be achieved in the world, it became salvation from the world. Redeeming the individual grew into a Hellenistic industry.
Many of the pagan cults centered around a concept of salvation and had a savior deity as its vehicle for attaining such salvation. For example, Dionysus was known as "the liberator" (Greek "eleutherios") and he was said to liberate through a state of extacy or madness (a common method of salvation). It is inconsequencial that such gods may did not die on the cross specifically, or resurect in three days, or were said to be born of virgin mothers in the literal sense. It is the main motifs that are important here and point to common ideologies. To show that there are differences in the literal details between Jesus and other mythical savior gods means nothing. He still follows the pattern and fits the bill. Many apologists focus too much on these trivial details to attempt to segregate the Jesus character and story from other contemporary myths, thereby isolating from it from its context. Indeed, most of the savior gods differ from each other as well. Are we to assume they are therefore entirely independent constructs? That they had no shared influence or inspiration from common ideas of the times? The only thing that is truly unique in the story of Jesus is that at some point myth was turned into man and his devotees began believing in a historical life that never happened and that was unknown to the earliest followers of Jesus. Paul himself fails to describe him in any terms that would indicate a physical incarnation, nor does he recall any events of Jesus life in the earthly realm.
As for the prophecies of the Torah, I'll simply ask this question. Which is the more likely scenario: that (A) apologists within the early Christian movement sought legitimize their cult and concretize their Jesus myth (especially to the Jewish who was resistant to assimilation and to the idea of a man being god) by painting him as the epitome of Judaic prophecy; or (B) the ancient Torah phophecies actually came true.

ok man, thats ridiculous to think getting people loaded was the same as salvation, so Ill help you along a little. Dinonysus was in fact referred to as a "savior" and in the context in which he is referred to 'savior', he is saving people from the wrath of Pentheus, not from sin or eternal damnation. it stops there. and furthermore, I hardly see how your history lesson applies other than padding your post.

On your last point, I have to ask if you have ever read the new testament? Jesus was nothing if not anti-religion, he had nothing but compasion for every low down bastard he came into contact with except for the "church" leaders this is most certainly NOT what the Jews wanted to hear, as I said there were over 300 prophesies in the old testament some of the fulfillments we only now can see. here is an interesting and unique example.
There are more scholarly examples but I find this so wonderful…

Here is a summary of God's plan of redemption, hidden here within a genealogy in Genesis,  You will never convince me that a group of Jewish rabbis deliberately "contrived" to hide the "Christian Gospel" right here in a genealogy within their venerated Torah! On the left is the name on the right is the meaning of the name, simply read the meanings of the names in the order they appear….its nothing if not a beautiful coincidence.
