shouldn't this be titled, Christian religion similar to Egyptian religion? Since Egyptian religion is older?

What about Mithra? Who was also born of a virgin on December 25th in a cave, and his birth was attended by shepherds. He had 12 companions or disciples. Mithra's followers were promised immortality. He performed miracles and Mithra sacrificed himself for world peace. He was buried in a tomb and after three days rose again. His resurrection was celebrated every year. He was called "the Good Shepherd" and identified with both the Lamb and the Lion.

You say it grew out of Egyptian sun worship. I wonder could Judaism and therefore Christianity have grown out of Atenism, which was an Egyptian sun-worshipping monoetheist religion from the time of Akenaten?

its a good clip and has good facts. however the term dark ages refers to the fact that we dont have much as far as writings of that time, not that it was dark in the sense of bad or negative lol. also its true the papal church decimated the gnostic religion that it sprung from although there is some gnosticism still now. gnostics believe good and evil are equal and opposite like ying and yang etc. its a great clip lookin forward to watching the movie too. ty

Just a thought .. grain of salt and all that .. the planet Venus has been very bright in the sky the past couple of months, reflecting light upon the earth - a light borrowed from the sun, not it's own - impressive for all to behold. Many will proclaim that which is not theirs .. symbolic, coincidence, or a true sign for those looking for truth?

For the same reason the Catholic Inquisition happened. To control societies.

While the Lord Jesus & the Scriptures are true, Christianity is a false official religion of the World (Babylon) & in no way the same as the NT Church. An examination of 2 Tim 3 reveals this present Churches. Our Lord called the Christian Churches "Dead" (without the Holy Spirit) though they have a name that they are alive (Rev 3: 1). Finally, the true Church (Mount Zion) is One Body, but the Christian Churches are 50,000 bodies each of them merchants fishing into its own pocket (Rev 18: 11-13).

Everything in this film about Christianity is shameless deception!!!Do not be naïve and foolish.God prohibits worshiping sun and alike.Read NKJV Deuteronomy(Deut) 4:15-19;Deut 17:1-5; 2 Chronicles14:1-5;Job 31:21-28;Isaiah27:9;Ezekiel6:1­-6;Ezekiel8:16-1;Job 25:5.

Jesus said 2000 yrs ago that in the last days will be a lot of deception, thus be aware!Study Bible and history and you will see yourself that Christianity is real and true!

Think why Christians always have been persecuted for truth?
