It is sometimes forgotten that the early Christians associated Jesus with the Sun. Among the church fathers, Cyprian speaks of Christ as Sol Verus, the "true sun," and Ambrose names him Sol Novus Noster, "our new sun". An interesting fact revealed in the old Roman calendars is that on the 25th of December each year they commemorated the new birth of Sol Invictus, the "unconquered sun." These early Christians used many hymns addressed to the Christ-Sun or to the Christos-Spirit, or to the Logos or Word. These terms were taken from the ancient Greek Mysteries; and the composition of these hymns, and the words could easily be construed as hymns to the sun. Which indeed was exactly what they were.

well to be honest the customs of ancient israel is pretty much the root of what we know today as islam,christianity,judaism. the bible whether it was translated correctly or not was all about israel, the 1st century AD was roman oppression of israel mainly the tribe of judah. some 300 yrs later romans decided to get together and create a state religion based on events some 3yrs ago mixed in pagan elements changed some names and added attributes and created the person of jesus christ
GREAT WORK! I've shared this and I've come back to it time and again. So enjoyable. The papacy holds many secrets - one of them being the pagan roots of Christianity. Anyone who studies the various religions and pantheons can see the similarities. Thanks for posting this!
Well, have you seen the light yet, idiot? Jesus wasn't his name, anyway. That's Greek translation of Rabi. And how do you explain peoples who never met with identical symbolic beliefs? Did the Cristians also steal the idea of five fingers on each hand and two hands from some other religion? Your screen name says it all. You are a propaganda marketing douche bag. If anyone is out to control people, it's YOU.
