Who is Jesus in Greek mythology?
According to Brian Muraresku, Jesus was a Christian form of the Greek god
Jesus (/ˈdʒiːzəs/) is a masculine given name derived from Iēsous (Ἰησοῦς; Iesus in Classical Latin) the Ancient Greek form of the Hebrew name Yeshua (ישוע). As its roots lie in the name Isho in Aramaic and Yeshua in Hebrew, it is etymologically related to another biblical name, Joshua.
One of the most significant differences between Horus and Jesus is the lack of a clear death and resurrection story for Horus. Horus' mythology mainly revolves around his struggle against Set, the avenging of his father Osiris, and his role as a living god and protector of the pharaohs.
In Christianity, the title "Son of God" refers to the status of Jesus as the divine son of God the Father. It derives from several uses in the New Testament and early Christian theology. The term is used in all four gospels, the Acts of the Apostles, and the Pauline and Johannine literature.
Hercules was strong, and the life of Jesus culminated in weakness, suffering, and death. Hercules escaped his weak mortal body to become a God, but the Christians claim that Jesus came back to life in his own body: The opposite of the hopes of a society influenced by Plato's ideal.
Because the New Testament was originally written in Greek, not Hebrew or Aramaic. Greeks did not use the sound sh, so the evangelists substituted an S sound. Then, to make it a masculine name, they added another S sound at the end. The earliest written version of the name Jesus is Romanized today as Iesous.
Its preface states: "the distinctive Hebrew name for God (usually transliterated Jehovah or Yahweh) is in this translation represented by 'The Lord'." A footnote to Exodus 3:14 states: "I am sounds like the Hebrew name Yahweh traditionally transliterated as Jehovah." The New International Version (1978, revised 2011).
It's said that Horus, like Jesus -- or Jesus, like Horus -- was born of a virgin, had twelve disciples, walked on water, delivered a 'sermon on the mount', performed mircles, was executed beside two thieves, rose from the dead and ascended into heaven.
Some scholars have argued that the portrayal of Jesus in the Gospel of John may have been influenced by Dionysian symbolism.
His birth will be heralded by a great star (maybe a supernova) and it will be said that this star will impossibly hover over his place of birth guiding people from distant lands to come and pay him homage. So, no, there is no evidence that Jesus was known about by the Egyptians.
Did Jesus call himself God?
During his lifetime, Jesus himself didn't call himself God and didn't consider himself God, and ... none of his disciples had any inkling at all that he was God.
Yes he is. Far more powerful. Jesus is so much more powerful compared to Zeus, it's not even funny. Jesus is God (with a capital g) and God is Jesus, and as such, he is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent.
Greek mythology was around thousands of years BCE before “Jesus” was born.
Herakles appears in Greek mythology at least 770 years before Jesus appears as a historical figure. However, given that there are strong parallels between Herakles and other figures, such as Baal (in fact, the Tyrian Baal was identified as being Herakles), it seems likely that the figure is much older.
Overall, Jesus didn't have a formal last name. Instead He was most commonly called “Jesus son of Joseph” or “Jesus of Nazareth.” After His resurrection, He was called Jesus Christ to show that he is the Messiah and Savior of the world.
Jesus' name in Hebrew was “Yeshua” which translates to English as Joshua. So how did we get the name “Jesus”?
Hebrew names for G-d like Elohim (God of many/Lord of Hosts), or ElShaddai (Almighty God) lend credence to this. The being called YHWH is not Jesus and is not related to Jesus directly in the Hebrew. ..."
Traditionally, religious Jews today do not often say this name aloud. This is because it is believed to be too holy to be spoken. However, they often use substitutes when referring to the name of their God. For example, they use HaShem ("The Name") or Shem HaMeforash (“the indescribable Name”).
Are Yahweh and Allah The Same Deity? Mark said Yahweh and Allah are not the same deity. He used the analogy of talking about a friend at a class reunion to illustrate the variances between a Christian's view of Yahweh and a Muslim's beliefs about Allah.
Seven names of God. The names of God that, once written, cannot be erased because of their holiness are the Tetragrammaton, Adonai, El, Elohim, Shaddai, Tzevaot; some also include I Am that I Am. In addition, the name Jah—because it forms part of the Tetragrammaton—is similarly protected.
What ethnicity was Jesus?
According to the Gospels, Jesus was a Jewish man born in Bethlehem and raised in the town of Nazareth, in Galilee (formerly Palestine, now northern Israel) during the first century.
Most religious scholars and historians agree with Pope Francis that the historical Jesus principally spoke a Galilean dialect of Aramaic. Through trade, invasions and conquest, the Aramaic language had spread far afield by the 7th century B.C. and would become the lingua franca in much of the Middle East.
Like Jesus, Osiris also died and resurrected. He became the judge of the dead. The Bible confirms that Jesus also had this role, as he will "judge the living and the dead," as described in 2 Timothy 4:1-2.
The teachings of Orthodoxy are described in the Nicene Creed, adopted in AD 325 by an ecumenical council: belief in one God, creator of all things, and his Son, Jesus Christ, who was crucified for the world's salvation and was resurrected on the third day, and who will come again in glory to judge the living and the ...
Christian legend has it that Longinus was a blind Roman centurion who thrust the spear into Christ's side at the crucifixion. Some of Jesus's blood fell upon his eyes and he was healed. Upon this miracle Longinus believed in Jesus.
