Mithras and Christianity

Such a strange assertion would require some evidence of such a thing, which is not forthcoming. Since Osiris predates Zoroaster rather substantially, this cannot be right.

Can you provide rough dates for Zoroaster and Osiris

I already knew that you couldn't provide the answer to my request, that's why I asked.

Isn't it curious how much sheer *dishonesty* some people post with?

The prophet Zoroaster lived in the 6th and 7th century BC ...

Indeed. And Osiris is recorded millennia earlier. Why didn't you know this?

All the best,

Again so strange an assertion requires some primary evidence to be produced. Surely?

Was ...?

Did ...?

Nothing in this seems to require any comment from me. Please learn to post honestly.

How about putting a date on Osiris.........if you can.

BTW.......I understand that the Zoroaster of the 7th century was not the Zoroaster that started the religion of Zoroastrianism. I'm not quite sure you understand this.

I agree..........No use disputing the truth.

Was Constantine Emperor of Rome a high priest of Sol Invictus the Unconquerable sun?

Did the Romans try to kill all the Christians?

Did Constantine get a sign to conquer under the sign of the cross as evidenced by his army?

Did Constantine back the Bishops of Rome?

Was Constantine Pontifex Maximus

Are the Popes now called Pontifex Maximus?

I note that you have not attempted to justify the following assertions:

1. Zoroastrianism also went to Egypt where Nimrod who is Zoroaster is known as Osiris.

2. December 25 is the birthday of the sun god Baal and the rebirth of Nimrod as Tammuz. Dec 25 is also the birthday of Horus, Crishna, Mirtha, Osiris, Hercules, Dionysus, Baahis, Indra, Attis, Sol Invictus and Budda off the top of my head.........there are more.

3. When the Roman empire worshippers of Sol Invictus the unconquerable sun couldn't kill all the Christians they simpley backed the Bishops of Rome and formed the Catholic church.

Instead you have tried to change the subject and make further assertions phrased as 'questions'. When do you propose to offer the primary source evidence for any of these absurd propositions?

If you really want me to tell you then deposit $1,000 in my paypal account. I should add that I am a member of the Egypt Exploration Society, so your presumption that I am as ignorant as yourself is rather unfortunate.

BTW.......I understand that the Zoroaster of the 7th century was not the Zoroaster that started the religion of Zoroastrianism. I'm not quite sure you understand this.

I'm interested to hear your assertions, and look forward to you documenting them from ancient sources. (I.e. not from hearsay online). None of this evasiveness is likely to justify your original post, however.

There is a difference in thinking you know and knowing. I bet you think you know that.

If you are a member of the Egypt Exploration Society you should have not problem answering the question.

BTW Roger

I know the answer to the question I asked you. This should be right down your alley. I'll be happy to argue in the area that you claim to have expertise.

So how about that date on Osiris..........If you can.
