The Hidden Story of Jesus - Part 4 of 11

As Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus, theologian Dr Robert Beckford investigates remarkable parallels to the Christ story in other faiths, some of them predating Christianity by thousands of years.

The Hindu god, Krishna, was conceived by a virgin and his birth was attended by angels, wise men and shepherds. Buddha was also the result of a miraculous birth, and was visited by wise men bearing gifts. He, too, began his ministry at about 30-years-old and performed such miracles as walking on water and feeding 500.

Some people in India believe that Jesus did not die on the cross but escaped from Roman Palestine and ended up in Kashmir. There, they say, he continued to preach, had a wife and child, and later died and was buried.

Jesus was, of course, born a Jew, and Christians believe he is the Messiah prophesied in the Torah, which is the holy scripture of the Jews. Meanwhile, Muslims revere Jesus as a prophet but do not believe he died on the cross. Instead, according to Islam, God saved him and took him up to heaven, and he will return and be buried next to Muhammed.

In this Channel 4 (UK) Christmas Day programme, Robert Beckford attempts to unravel the mystery of why there are so many versions of the Christ story across the world and asks which is the real one, and where this leaves the Christian story and his own belief in Jesus.

[jayd4ever]

now the truth is coming out but im sure the western world will reject it

[HanDynasty26349]

truth is people stole ideas from other religions to make christianity

[Surah72]

@koberask

Yes.

Our Creator stated He sent Messengers to all nations, and He gave every nation a way and rites to serve Him. Surah 5:48, 10:47, 16:36, 22:34, 22:27,

If people only read the Book they profess to uphold, and ask our Creator to be guided, they too would be shown the way.

Peace.

[Surah72]

Read the entire Bible carefully. Don't lift out passages to suit your carnal heart while ignoring the remainder of the collection of Books you call the Bible.

Peace.

[Surah72]

@lmgtech

In order for there to be errors, there must be some Truth that remains. The lie cannot be swallowed without the wrappings of Truth or else it would be easily known for what it is.

You cannot deny there are contradictions in the Bible, so you seek to invalidate.

In the End, even you will know the Truth. See how your laughter fares then.

You cannot say you were not given reminder, nor warned.

Peace.

@Surah72

haaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Bible is full of errors how would you use it to prove your point...............

[Surah72]

@lion49nfl

At no time did the Messiah (pbuh) ever say "I am God" nor did he ever say "Worship me".

You made your choice. To you are your deeds and to me are mine. Allah will judge between us on the Day of Judgment.

Peace.

[Surah72]

God: invisible spirit. The Messiah: flesh and blood:

Thousands saw Jesus and heard his voice. Jesus himself said that this could not be done with God.

"No man hath seen God at any time." John 1:18.

'"Ye have neither heard His voice at any time nor seen His shape." John 5:37

"God is a spirit and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth." John 4:24. Clear proof The Messiah is not God.

[Surah72]

"I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me." John 5:30

"Verily, verily I say unto you, the Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do." John 5:19

"I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you, but He who sent me is true; and the things which I heard from Him, these I speak to the world." John 8:26

[Surah72]

"And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word (ὁ λόγος) that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak." John 12:49

Logos/’The Word’: (ὁ λόγος)

The word was the Gospel.

Peace.
