Je-sus [false messiah]Was Created From Mithra The important question then to ask is this: if the New Testament is not historical, what is it? Go-spel authors exposed as imposters There is something else involved in this scenario and it is recorded in the Catholic Encyclopedia . An appreciation of the clerical mindset arises when the Church itself admits that it does not know who wrote its Go-spels and Epistles, confessing that all 27 New Testament writings began life anonymously: It thus appears that the present titles of the Go-spels are not traceable to the evangelists themselves ... they [the New Testament collection] are supplied with titles which, however ancient, do not go back to the respective authors of those writings. (Catholic Encyclopedia, Farley ed., vol. vi, pp. 655-6) Just what is Christianity? The important question then to ask is this: if the New Testament is not historical, what is it? Dr Tischendorf provided part of the answer when he said in his 15,000 pages of critical notes on the Sinai Bible that, it seems that the personage of Je-sus was made narrator for many religions. This explains how narratives from the ancient Indian epic, the Mahabharata, appearverbatim in the Go-spels today (e.g., Matt. 1:25, 2:11, 8:1-4, 9:1-8, 9:18-26), and why passages from the Phenomena of the Greek statesman Aratus of Sicyon (271-213 BC) are in the New Testament. Extracts from the Hymn to Zeus , written by Greek philosopher Cleanthes (c. 331-232 BC), are also found in the Go-spels, as are 207 words from the Thais of Menander (c. 343-291), one of the seven wise men of Greece. Quotes from the semi-legendary Greek poet Epimenides (7th or 6th century BC) are applied to the lips of Je-sus , and seven passages from the curious Ode of Jupiter (c. 150 BC; author unknown) are reprinted in the New Testament. conclusion also supports Professor Bordeaux s Vatican findings that reveal the allegory of Je-sus derived from the fable of Mithra , the divine son ofGod (Ahura Mazda) and messiah of the first kings of the Persian Empire around 400 BC. His birth in a grotto was attended by magi who followed a star from the East. They brought gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh (as in Matt. 2:11) and the newborn baby was adored by shepherds. He came into the world wearing the Mithraic cap, which popes imitated in various designs until well into the 15th century. Mithra , one of a trinity, stood on a rock, the emblem of the foundation of his religion, and was anointed with honey. After a last supper with Helios and 11 other companions, Mithra was crucified on a cross, bound in linen, placed in a rock tomb and rose on the third day or around 25 March (the full moon at the spring equinox, a time now called Easter after the Babylonian goddess Ishtar ). The fiery destructionof the universe was a major doctrine of Mithraism - a time in which Mithra promisedto return in person to Earth and save deserving souls. Devotees of Mithra partook ina sacred communion banquet of bread and wine, a ceremony that paralleled the Christian Eucharist and preceded it by more than four centuries. Christianity is an adaptation of, *. Mithraism welded with the Druidic principles of the Culdees *. some Egyptian elements (the pre-Christian Book of Revelation was originally called The Mysteries of Osiris and Isis) *. Greek philosophy *. various aspects of Hinduism Why there are no records of Je-sus It is not possible to find in any legitimate religious or historical writings compiled between the beginning of the first century and well into the fourth century any reference to Je -sus and the spectacular events that the Church says accompanied his life. This confirmation comes from Frederic Farrar (1831-1903) of Trinity College, Cambridge: It is amazing that history has not embalmed for us even one certain or definite saying or circumstance in the life of the Saviour of mankind ... there is no statementin all history that says anyone saw Je-sus or talked with him. Nothing in history is more astonishing than the silence of contemporary writers about events relayed in the four Go-spels. (The Life of Christ, Frederic W. Farrar, Cassell, London, 1874) This situation arises from a conflict between history and New Testament narratives. We must frankly admit that we have no source of information with respect to the life of Je-sus other than ecclesiastic writings assembled during the fourth century.
