Sorry, I'm afraid I lumped them all together, which is the way I feel about all of that mythological mumbo-jumbo. Ishtar, Isis, Tammuz, Thor, Marduk, etc., etc. all mythology which it appears had it's beginning in Babylon.
The point I was making was that easter, a pagan spring festival, which has developed over the years to include rolling eggs (which at one time were dipped in the blood of infants),

The reality is, Christ was the Son of God, and horus was a myth made up by the Egyptians which constantly changed throughout the years. There is plenty of evidence to support Christ if people would actually take the time to investigate his life on earth.

There IS NO EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT THE LIFE OF CHRIST EXPECT A BOOK THAT WAS WRITTEN YEARS AFTER HIS DEATH!!!! Show me one source that is outside of the bible that said he existed!!! And you are pretty pompous to think that Horus is a myth and that your belief in Jesus is not a myth. The people who prayed to him during that time were probably as much of zelots as you are. What is sad is that your so diluted that you can't see the TRUTH or REALITY. So don't go speaking about MYTHS that you know nothing about. I'm pretty sure that 5,000 years from now people will look upon Christianity just as you look upon the Egyptian religions ..as a MYTH!!!!

The last days? NO
The last days of an age yes. We are going from the age of Pisces or (Jesus) to the age of Aquarius. Which some have attributed to harmony and understanding. Sympathy and trust abounding. No more forces of derision. Golden living, dreams of visions. Mystic crystal revelations and the mind's true liberation!
1 Thessalonians 5:3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
IMO, the end of organized religion that is destroying humanity and our world. Can't wait!
I'm afraid your source is very mistaken about the "dipping of eggs in the blood of infants." That was never the practice of any religion, although it is a canard used by some sites to work folks up against what the site deems "pagan practices."
It's kind of a "thought control" process, there. They find a practice and make it more abhorrent to you (by adding some speculative element -- like "it must have involved killing babies") and then tell you that True Christians would never consider doing this.

I agree.......most religion come from Satan and Babylon. Not only have they destroyed humanity, they have blinded the world.
I can't wait either...the Antichrist is on earth and the Christians are soon to be gone.

Seriously, the fanatical christians are going away? Sweet! Hopefully the fanatical muslims go with too!
Originally posted by Sun Matrix
Yeah, those fanatical Christians can be a pain in the butt. I heard talk many of them get carried away with love and forgiveness. What a pain.
As for the Muslims, they will still be here and will be part of those that break the peace and attack Israel.
The Antichrist breaks his Covenant of protection with Isreal. Things will not be pleasant from this point..........good luck with all that.

Love and forgiveness amongst fanatical christians at best! You must be joking!? Surely, you cannot believe that!? Do we have to retread those waters.....inquisitions, witch hunts.......yadayadayda
Just because Jews were promised this land by a fictional silly book does not make it so.
Weren't Palestinians there first anyways?
You lost me here (no pun)!

Also, wasn't the the birthday of Horus annually celebrated, about December 25th, in the temples.
You stated Horus was NOT born of a virgin from the Goddess Isis? But, wasn't Isis considered by her followers to be a "Virgin Goddess"? And would a God giving birth require the act of coitus, married or not?

Before Osiris died, he was married to Isis. He was a god man (a nephilim, a hybrid). She was not a virgin, but a married woman. She wasn't married just once, but twice, as she is also known as mesopotamian Inana (who's story you really should read). If you read the story of Inana, alot of confusion surrounding Isis will dissipate, including the whole Elder and Younger Horus mess and you might even pick up on a few other tidbits, relating to the identity of Osiris.
