RE:

I've watched it all the way. But, I'm most interested in the first part. If you are looking for accuracy, I don't think this video serves the purpose. I've found many errors and speculations and I would like to point out MANY:
1. There is no record in the Bible that December 25 is the actual and accurate birth date of Jesus.
2. There is no archaeological evidence at all which truly and accurately depicts Jesus' real image.
3. Christ was a Jew and it's shameful for a Jew to wear long hair.
"1 Corinthians 11:14 - Does not the very nature of things teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him,"
4. The facial feature of Jesus doesn't match those living in the middle east. His current Roman Catholic depictions most describes people in Northern Europe, of Nordic origin or the Arian race.
5. It is forbidden for Christians to represent God in anyway and in any form, whether it be in symbols, statues, paintings, anything formed by human hands as this seriously constitutes idol worshiping.
"Romans 1:22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like
mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles."
6. It is forbidden for Christians to look in the stars, the sun, and the moon for superstitious practices.
"Isaiah 47: 12 Stand fast in your enchantments and your many sorceries, with which you have labored from your youth; perhaps you may be able to succeed, perhaps you may inspire terror. 13 You are wearied with your many counsels; let them stand forth and save you, those who divide the heavens, who gaze at the stars, who at the new moons predict what shall befall you."
7. All of the images, symbols, icons in the video doesn't belong to Christianity. It belongs to the Roman Catholic Church.
8. As the video suggest, "I am the Christ" :
Matthew 24:4-31
4 Jesus answered: "Watch out that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am the Christ,' and will deceive many.
..
Indeed, many will come claiming "I am the Christ" like Horus, Krishna, Quezcacoatl, Attis, Dionysus, Mithra, etc.
Key features:
- Born of a Virgin
- Star in the East
- Adorned by 3 Kings
- 12 Disciples
- Baptised/Ministry at 30
- Performed Miracles
- Lamb of god
- The Light
- Crucified
- Dead for 3 days
- Resurrected
Clearly caught red handed. Indeed many will actually believe in this deception as clearly spoken by Jesus.
9. Nothing was mentioned about the Genealogy of Jesus, all in the video was a "false Christ" in many racial attributes, but nothing was mentioned about their respective origins.
"Luke 3
23 Now Jesus himself was about thirty years old when he began his ministry. He was the son, so it was thought, of Joseph, 24 the son of Matthat, the son of Levi, the son of Melki, the son of Jannai, the son of Joseph, 25 the son of Mattathias, the son of Amos, the son of Nahum, the son of Esli, the son of Naggai, 26 the son of Maath, the son of Mattathias, the son of Semein, the son of Josech, the son of Joda, 27 the son of Joanan, the son of Rhesa, the son of Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, the son of Neri, 28 the son of Melki, the son of Addi, the son of Cosam, the son of Elmadam, the son of Er, 29 the son of Joshua, the son of Eliezer, the son of Jorim, the son of Matthat, the son of Levi, 30 the son of Simeon, the son of Judah, the son of Joseph, the son of Jonam, the son of Eliakim, 31 the son of Melea, the son of Menna, the son of Mattatha, the son of Nathan, the son of David, 32 the son of Jesse, the son of Obed, the son of Boaz, the son of Salmon, the son of Nahshon, 33 the son of Amminadab, the son of Ram, the son of Hezron, the son of Perez, the son of Judah, 34 the son of Jacob, the son of Isaac, the son of Abraham, the son of Terah, the son of Nahor, 35 the son of Serug, the son of Reu, the son of Peleg, the son of Eber, the son of Shelah, 36 the son of Cainan, the son of Arphaxad, the son of Shem, the son of Noah, the son of Lamech, 37 the son of Methuselah, the son of Enoch, the son of Jared, the son of Mahalalel, the son of Kenan, 38 the son of Enosh, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God."
10. Nothing was mentioned after their so called resurrection and then what, what happens next?
But the REAL CHRIST:
Hebrew 1:3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
Did the so called gods - Horus, Krishna, and company sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high?
...
I can carry on match for match, but all I can say is, it doesn't hold water. The video should be titled instead, "The Babylonian Religions of the World and the counterfeit Jesus".
When we you look at two 100 dollar bills (one is fake), at first instance you wouldn't know which one is counterfeit until you look very closely and then you'll know which one is fake.
If someone wants to really discount Jesus, he must show a 100% match for match with all these ancient religions, not just cherry pick the ones he likes in order to disprove Christianity, but everything, chapter by chapter, from Genesis to Revelation.
Let him match it 100% positive, like fingerprint matching.
