Zeitgeist Refuted (10 of 10)

Zeitgeist: Spirit of the Age Refuted

This film refutes the following claims made in the film Zeitgeist: -Christianity was borrowed from pagan myths? -The Bible was plagiarized? -Jesus wasn't a historical figure? -Christianity was created for social control? -The Bible is based on astrology?

"The first real parallel of a dying and rising god does not appear until A.D. 150, more than a hundred years after the origin of Christianity. So if there was any influence of one on the other, it was the influence of the historical event of the New Testament [resurrection] on mythology, not the reverse. The only known account of a god surviving death that predates Christianity is the Egyptian cult god Osiris. In this myth, Osiris is cut into fourteen pieces, scattered around Egypt, then reassembled and brought back to life by the goddess Isis. However, Osiris does not actually come back to physical life but becomes a member of a shadowy underworld...This is far different than Jesus' resurrection account where he was the gloriously risen Prince of life who was seen by others on earth before his ascension into heaven." --Dr. Norman Geisler

@TheGreatTamara - I agree, ty

[TheGreatTamara]

@ME3RZ11 I agree with some of what Zeitgeist is saying but it is way off in condemning Christ and Christianity which I think this documentary is adressing and refuting quite successfully. Now concerning the corrupt banking system and the Federal reserve: You'll have to search somewhere else for refutation on those parts of Zeitgeist.

at of all the historical writing people still dont believe but socrates foe example it hardly nothing on him and we taught to believe less writing proof on ceasar and we still believe wake up everybody its trickery from the enemy .

@Xyrelt - I tell you one thing, we owe a lot to Sir Ronald Syme. He wrote things like "Oligarchy at Rome - a paradigm of political science" showing how dynasties where a myth, everyone at the top was related. He destroyed the Augustan History adding his colossal weight to it's exposure as being bogus. The Augustan History evidence is evidence of common practice.

Look him up.

It's not a conspiracy, it's an oligarchy.

The Romans where already controlling the masses, Christianity just helped.

[Franknarfable]

@Xyrelt - Yes, the Dead Sea Scrolls where possibly written between 66-70 AD. The community at Qumran where wiped out by the Romans, archeological evidence supports. They where just another Jewish community awaiting a Messiah to take them to war.

Jesus was peace-loving. Do you blame the Romans for creating the opposite Messiah? They'd had enough trouble with these "terrorists" and their religious zealotry.

I would say the DSS support Roman authorship of the New Testament.

[Xyrelt]

@Franknarfable I did some research on the possibility of the Romans writing the Bible. A majority of what I found ties into the conspiracy that the Romans wrote the Bible to control the masses, and that their bloodlines essentially play a major part in global governments today. Heh heh... Sounds almost like Abstergo. I'll admit, I love conspiracy theories.

[Xyrelt]

@Franknarfable I will admit. All of this has piqued my interest. I'm sure there is easily another explaination behind this.

[Xyrelt]

@Franknarfable And yet the Dead Sea Scrolls were written between 66-70 AD.

[Franknarfable]

@Xyrelt - Five events from the Jewish War, Josephus, c 74 AD -

1) Titus begins at Galilee, his men fish the enemy from the water

2) Titus then goes to Gadara, the enemy are described as wild beasts that flee into the water

3) In Jerusalem, a woman called Mary eats her own son during passover

4) Three men are crucified and one survives

5) Simon is killed in Rome and John is spared

Same names, same locations and they appear in exactly the same sequence as they do in the Gospels.

[Xyrelt]

@Franknarfable I see very little relation between the Titus's conquest of the Jews and Jesus's minitries.
