Ohhhh I get it...now you're saying if someone writes something that causes them to exist and if they don't write something that causes them not to exist.
*************
M*W: You're kinda dense, aren't you? You're making too many false assumptions. If someone writes something, and it can be proven that they wrote it, that's pretty good evidence that they existed. Let's take the case of Paul who was credited with writing most of the NT. In his case, there is more proof that he didn't exist, and the NT was written by other factions still worth debating.
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John were credited with writing four gospels, but there is also no proof that they existed. There's no proof than any of the apostles existed. So, just because you read something somebody was alleged to have written, doesn't mean they wrote it. I know you'll not understand this, but who cares?
So I guess if you never wrote anything, you would've never existed, writing something causes one to exist right?
*************
M*W: As I explained above, many people existed but didn't write anything. Probably because they were illiterate. Most of the documents we have today were written and copied by Catholic monks in the monasteries, but we cannot be sure who wrote each piece of work or who took credit for it. Matthew, Mark, Luke and John were book TITLES, not necessarily the authors who wrote those books.
You really believe that EVERYTHING evolved from a Sun myth and that there were no ancient people which inspired legends?
*************
M*W: I really believe that many god-hero figures were created by ancient people who watched the skies. Have you ever read any Joseph Campbell on mythology? You should.
Why can't I use presidents in my analogy? Is it because writing causes one to exist? The problem is that in ancient times not that many people knew how to write only a selected few....
*************
M*W: The American Presidents left a legacy. History has documented those legacies. Some wrote more than others, but your analogy of presidents is silly. In the greater scheme of things, we're only talking as recently as the past 231 years! Ancient recorded myths go back 7000 years or so, but back further through cave paintings and artifacts that have been found and dated as far back as 25000-30000 years.
The differences between Ra and Jesus are innumerable and almost unlimited....I can think of at least 5 or more just from the top of my head:
*************
M*W: Five is not "innumerable."
- Ra never encouraged peace in the same way as Jesus did
*************
M*W: Can you prove Jesus existed? I don't think so. Then you cannot say that Jesus encouraged peace until you can prove he existed.
- Ra is almost always potrayed with a falcon head, Jesus never was
*************
M*W: No, Jesus was associated with a dove that landed on his head and probably left droppings.
- The many stories where Ra is involved where Jesus was never involved (for instance Ra traveled in a boat to the underworld and fought off monsters)
*************
M*W: The MYTH of Jesus has him riding in a boat, walking on water, fishing for men, casting out demons. Sounds pretty close to me.
- Ra had nothing against idol worship and rituals, Jesus did
*************
M*W: All of christianity was based on the rituals of Jesus! "Take this cup... yada yada yada...".
- Ra is said of have commanded the chariot or Sun across the sky, Jesus never...
*************
M*W: The Jesus MYTH had him to say "...unto them, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life."
"Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity. What profit hath a man of all his labour which he taketh under the sun?"
Ecclesiastes 1:2f John 8:12
Jesus was referred to as the "Morningstar."
"And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this of this world." John 8:23
"Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world:" John 18:36
"Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world. But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him."
John 11:9f
Matthew 17:2 "His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light."
Psalms 84:11 "the Lord God is a sun..."
Malachi 4:2 "the Sun of Righteousness..."
I could go on, but I think most of you get the picture.
- Ra is aging God living on another world...not Jesus
*************
M*W: Technically, the oldest thing in our universe is the sun. The study of the sun and solar system which includes the zodiac was originally called "logos," or "the Word." Then christians came along and said "the Word" was Jesus!
- Ra and Jesus say almost completely different things....
*************
M*W: Again, prove Jesus existed and spake something. Then prove Ra spake and said something. Neither of them had a mouth or words to say!
- The entire stories behind Ra and Jesus are nearly 100% different...- etc....
*************
M*W: The MYTHS of Ra and Jesus are 100% the SAME! I rest my case!
Its no wonder that no serious historian believes that Ra and Jesus were the same...only someone deluded by their own prejudice would believe that Ra and Jesus were the same...you would only have a compelling argument with Krishna and Jesus...
*************
M*W: Even the most educated of historians cannot prove Jesus existed. The MYTH of Ra doesn't fall under the heading of historians, unless you're talking the history of MYTHS!
Do some reading outside your bible. You desperately need some education.
