HORUS of Egypt = JESUS , ...... true or false?

Horus of Egypt

"Egypt, the primeval seat of learning, was the high seat of Sun adoration. The Sphinx, with the face to the east, represents Harmmachus, young Horus, or the rising Sun. The orb is Osiris, the ruling god of day. In its descent it is the dying deity, going below to the land of Shades; but only to be resurrected as the victorious Horus, piercing the head of the dragon of darkness." James Bonwick, Irish Druids %26amp; Old Irish Religions



The Egyptian sun god Horus, who predated the Christ character by thousands of years, shares the following in common with Jesus:



Horus was born of the virgin Isis-Meri on December 25th in a cave/manger with his birth being announced by a star in the East and attended by three wise men.

His earthly father was named "Seb" ("Joseph"). Seb is also known as "Geb": "As Horus the Elder he...was believed to be the son of Geb and Nut." Lewis Spence, Ancient Egyptian Myths and Legends, 84.

He was of royal descent.

At age 12, he was a child teacher in the Temple, and at 30, he was baptized, having disappeared for 18 years.

Horus was baptized in the river Eridanus or Iarutana (Jordan) by "Anup the Baptizer" ("John the Baptist"), who was decapitated.

He had 12 disciples, two of whom were his "witnesses" and were named "Anup" and "Aan" (the two "Johns").

He performed miracles, exorcised demons and raised El-Azarus ("El-Osiris"), from the dead.

Horus walked on water.

His personal epithet was "Iusa," the "ever-becoming son" of "Ptah," the "Father." He was thus called "Holy Child."

He delivered a "Sermon on the Mount" and his followers recounted the "Sayings of Iusa."

Horus was transfigured on the Mount.

He was killed, buried for three days in a tomb, and resurrected.

He was also the "Way, the Truth, the Light," "Messiah," "God's Anointed Son," the "Son of Man," the "Good Shepherd," the "Lamb of God," the "Word made flesh," the "Word of Truth," etc.

He was "the Fisher" and was associated with the Fish ("Ichthys"), Lamb and Lion.

He came to fulfill the Law.

Horus was called "the KRST," or "Anointed One."

Like Jesus, "Horus was supposed to reign one thousand years."

Furthermore, inscribed about 3,500 years ago on the walls of the Temple at Luxor were images of the Annunciation, Immaculate Conception, Birth and Adoration of the pharaoh Amenhetep (Horus), with Thoth announcing to the queen that she will conceive; with the god Amun impregnating the queen; and with the infant being attended by three "kings" bearing gifts. In addition, in the catacombs at Rome are pictures of the baby Horus being held by the virgin mother Isis--the original "Madonna and Child."HORUS of Egypt = JESUS , ...... true or false?
Wrong Virgin Birth There are two separate birth accounts in regards to Horus (neither depict a virgin birth):

Version 1: Hathor, the motherly personification of the milky way, is said to have conceived Horus but we are

told her husband, Ra, was an Egyptian sun god. Hathor (a sky goddess) was represented by the cow whose milk

brought forth the milky way. By the will of her husband Ra, she gave birth to Horus:

"I, Hathor of Thebes, mistress of the goddesses, to grant to him a coming forth into the presence [of the god]...

Hathor of Thebes, who was incarnate in the form of a cow and a woman."http://www.pantheon.org/articles/… http://www.sacred-texts.com/egy/tut/tut0…



Version 2: When we examine Isis as Horus' mother, we are told Isis was not a virgin, but the widow of Osiris.

Isis practices magic to raise Osiris from the dead so she can bear a son that would avenge his death. Isis then

becomes pregnant from the sperm of her deceased husband. Again, no virgin birth occurs:



"[Isis] made to rise up the helpless members [penis] of him whose heart was at rest, she drew from him his

essence [sperm], and she made therefrom an heir [Horus]." http://www.pantheon.org/articles/i/isis.… , http://www.sacred-texts.com/egy/leg/leg2…



THE FATHER AND SON UNITY Critics suggest the Christian trinity was adapted from the notion of Osiris, Ra,

and Horus being one god in essence. Because Horus was born after the death of Osiris, it came to be believed he

was the resurrection, or reincarnation, of Osiris:



"He avengeth thee in his name of 'Horus, the son who avenged his father."



source: http://www.sacred-texts.com/egy/leg/leg0…



Throughout the centuries, the Egyptians eventually considered Osiris and Horus as one and the same. However,

this son-as-the-father comparison more closely resembles the metamorphosis of Hathor into Isis than it does the

Christian trinity. We see Horus first as the son of Ra, then being the equivalent of Ra, then Ra finally becoming

just as aspect of Horus. Similar to Hathor and Isis, we simply see a merger of one being into another. In

Egyptian mythology, each god had a distinct beginning by being conceived from other gods. In Christian

theology, God and Jesus always existed as one and the same, neither having a beginning or an end. Jesus' birth

did not represent His creation- only His advent in human from. Furthermore, the father-son concept was not

created by first-century Christians. Prophecies in the Old Testament referred to the future Messiah as the Son of

God up to 1,000 years before the birth of Christ. I Chronicles 17:13-14 BORN ON THE 25TH OF DECEMBER Horus' birth was actually celebrated during the month of Khoiak,

(October/November). Though some critics claim Horus was born during the winter solstice, this shows more of a

relationship to other pagan religions which considered the solstices sacred. Scholars and Historians believe Jesus was born in Spring. TWELVE DISCIPLES Superficially this similarity seems accurate until we see Horus' "disciples" were not disciples

at all- they were the twelve signs of the zodiac which became associated with Horus, a sky god. However

Jesus' disciples were actual men who lived and died, whose writings exist to this day, and whose lives are

recorded by historians. Because Horus' "disciples" were merely signs of the zodiac, they never taught his

philosophy or spread his teachings. The fact that there are twelve signs of the zodiac (twelve months) as compared to Jesus' twelve apostles is an insignificant coincidence.SIMILAR TITLES Critics allege Horus held similar titles used to identify Jesus such as Messiah, Savior, Son of

Man, Good Shepherd, Lamb of God, The Way, the Truth, the Light, and Living Word. However I can find no

evidence of any of these names ever being used in reference to Horus. I am especially suspicious of the word

Messiah since it is Hebrew in origin. I'm not stupid don't deceive me.MOUNTAINTOP ENCOUNTER Critics point out the similarity of both Jesus and Horus having an encounter on a

mountaintop with their enemies. Instead of dissecting this piece by piece, I will simply give each version of

events and let the reader observe the (obvious) differences:

Jesus: After Jesus completes His fast in the wilderness, Satan tries to tempt Jesus by offering Him all the

kingdoms of the world if Jesus agrees to worship him, but Jesus refuses. Matthew 4:1-11

Horus: During battle, Horus rips off one of Set's testicles while Set (sometimes called Seth) gorges out Horus'

eye. Set later tries to prove his dominance by initiating intercourse with Horus. Horus catches Set's semen in his

hand and throws it into a nearby river. Horus later masturbates and spreads his semen over lettuce which Set

consumes. Both Set and Horus stand before the gods to proclaim their right to rule Egypt. When Set claims dominance over Horus, his semen is found in the river. When Horus' dominance is considered, his semen is found within Set so Horus is granted rule over Egypt: "O that castrated one! O this man! O he who hurries him who hurries, among you two! These- this first

corporation of the company of the justified... Was born before the eye of Horus was plucked out, before the

testicles of Set were torn away." Source "It is the day on which Horus fought with Set, who cast filth in the face of

Horus, and when Horus destroyed the powers of Set." Source "Then [Set] appeared before the divine council and

claimed the throne. But the gods gave judgment that Horus was the rightful king, and he established his power in

the land of Egypt, and became a wise and strong ruler like to his father Osiris." Source(s): http://www.sacred-texts.com/egy/eml/eml0… , http://www.pantheon.org/articles/s/seth.…
Some scholars have thought this. However most think the Christians did not copy this, but the idea developed from many sources occurring at the time of Jesus.HORUS of Egypt = JESUS , ...... true or false?
It's all astrological. Check this out:

False.

That's a conspiracy theory that says a group of people got together to make Christianity to control the world.

Just about every single scholar says this notion is false.HORUS of Egypt = JESUS , ...... true or false?
Amazing...
Horus was not born of a virgin. Therefore, the author's first accusation fails. The ones that follow are likewise.
Jesus is a Mexican sounding name.
False.



If you don't believe me check out what Egyptian historians say about it.



Your 'facts' about Horus are wrong.
It is probably false. Some of the things you say of Horus is not known to be true.
True
everything you said is common knowledge to some of us. others can't see the forest for the trees.
You might wanna fact check some of those,

but honestly there is a lot of parallels between

pagan religions of the era and Christianity.



Dyonisis first turned water into wine @ a wedding

Appolonius of Tyana first cures a blind person with his spittle.

There were a few others who walked on water,

and raised the dead.

Even a few that ressurected.

The most compelling and easily researched is

the origin of the Ten Commandments.





In the meantime don't get your "facts" from "ZEITGEIST"
False.



Horus was not "born of a virgin."

He wasn't born on December 25th (and neither was Jesus).

There was no star to announce his birth, nor were there three wise men for him or for Jesus.

Horus had no "earthly father."

Horus was not teaching in "the temple" at the age of 12, nor was he ever baptized by "Anup" or anyone else. "Anup" is another name for Anubis, who was never known as a baptizer and who was not beheaded.

He did not have 12 disciples, and none were named Anup or Aan.

He did perform miracles, but he did not raise anyone from the dead, nor did he walk on water.

He was never known as "Iusa" and "Holy Child" was not one of his titles either.

There was no Sermon or transfiguration on the mount for Horus. No such thing as the "sayings of Iusa."

Horus was never buried in a tomb. He was resurrected at least once, but there's no reference to him being resurrected after three days.

He was never known as "the way the truth and the light", "messiah", "God's anointed son", the "son of man", "the good shepherd", "the lamb of God", or "the word."

He was never known as "the fisher", nor was ever associated with a lamb or a lion. He was never associated with a fish, unless you count the story in which he turned into a fish.

There was no "law" to "fulfill" in Egyptian mythology.

"KRST" is not a title; it's a word that means "burial", and has nothing to do with Horus in particular.

There is no reference to Horus "reigning" for a "thousand years."

The images on the walls of the Temple at Luxor were mistranslated by Gerald Massey, who was not an Egyptologist (who, by the way, is where most of your "facts" came from), which would probably explain how he got it so very, very wrong.



Sources are below.



Edit: For the people who gave this answer a thumbs-down: Put up your references, and make sure they're more reliable than mine are. Mine are all Egyptologists. Gerald Massey and Acharya S/DM Murdock were/are not Egyptologists. Kersey Graves was not an Egyptologist. Your websites, such as religioustolerance.org, do not use Egyptologists. Zeitgeist did not use Egyptologists.



Thumbing down facts is pretty sad.
What difference does it make?



Christianity did borrow some elements of paganism, probably for the purpose of winning more converts. It's no secret, really. Pagan mythology is full of virgin births and gods who die and rise from the dead. I don't think it takes anything away from the teachings of Jesus Christ; it actually brings new meaning to those older stories.
False.



Christianity stems from a blend of Judaism and Greek Orphism mainly. There are some parrallels between the lives of Orpheus and Jesus, and Orphism was partly influenced by Egyptian theology since it was developed to a large degree on Crete which is why there are some similarities to Horus.



Also comes from the geographical proximity of the two cultures and the likelihood of them sharing a common myth base, but basically it's not true.
Horus = a false god .. the bible is full of warnings about this situation .. if a false god wasnt convincing and looking good people would have never bought it, but the bottom line is there is only one living God ..
You have been told who Jesus is. Either you believe the truth or you wish to believe a lie.
thats nothing in the bible.. false
