Horus, the Egyptian God of 3,000 years before the Bible was writtenj
Does the cult of Horus prove that Christianity is false?
Some parallels between Horus and Jesus Christ:
1. Horus born of a virgin. <> Jesus born of a virgin.
2. The foster father of Horus was Seb or Seph. <> Jesus was fostered by Joseph.
3. Horus was of royal descent. <> Jesus was of royal descent.
4. Horus birth accompanied by three solar deities [star gazers] who followed by the morning star of Sirius bearing gifts. <> Jesus birth accompanied by three wise men [Zoroastrian star gazers] who followed by a star “in the east” bearing gifts.
5. The birth of Horus announced by angels. <> The birth of Jesus announced by angels.
6. Herut tried to murder the infant Horus. <> Herod slaughtered every first born in an attempt to kill Jesus the forthcoming messiah.
7. Horus is baptized at age 30 by Anup the Baptiser at a river. <> Jesus is baptized at age 30 by John the Baptist at a river.
8. Horus resists temptation by the evil Sut [Sut was to be the precursor for the Hebrew Satan] on a high mountain. <> Jesus resists temptation by Satan on a high mountain.
9. Horus had 12 followers. <> Jesus had 12 disciples.
10. Horus performed miracles like healing the sick and walking on water. <> Jesus performed miracles like healing the sick and walking on water. Poch Suzara Facebook# Google# Twitter# Atheists#

Poch, can you cite your primary sources for these assertions? Are they pre-New-Testament, or fairly recent? I'll bet you, they are new works to bolster the claims of new atheists. Don't rely on Wikipedia, Poch. The article is anonymous and has a warning at the top about how its content "may not be reliable". And even if Horus was viewed as born of a virgin prior to the time of Christianity, that fact alone wouldn't give us sufficient reason to conclude that Christianity probably borrowed the concept from the Horus account. You not only have to show a pre-Christian belief in Horus' being born of a virgin, but also take the further step of showing that such a pre-Christian belief undermines the Christian doctrine of Jesus' virgin birth in the manner you've suggested.

In China, the journey of a thousand miles begin with the first step. In the Philippines, however, the journey of one mile begin with a thousand steps - on each other; especially for the glory of Jesus on earth as He is in heaven! Poch Suzara
