    Relmor,

    I've been reading the reviews of the King James Bible on Amazon.....people seem to really like it or really hate it - so polarizing.....


    I came across this review.....

    Copyright infringement case waiting to happen, January 29, 2008
    By DingoBabyStealer - See all my reviews

    Not quite as original as I'd hoped. Most of the "Jesus" character seems to be very closely based around the Egyptian sun god, Horus. I mean, seriously Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, could you not come up with anything new at all? The whole virgin birth, walking on water, healing the sick, persecution, resurrection(after three days, just like Horus), and ascendancy were all taken DIRECTLY from Egyptian mythology! Are you guys even trying? I know plagiarism is the highest form of flattery, but you gentlemen are a bit much!
    Is there any truth to this reviewers claim about the Bible's authors stealing the Egyption sun god Harus story?

    Both parties have become more similar in recent years......both taking money from the same special interests.

    There really needs to be a another third party or something to keep them both honest.....

    John, Obama's popularity in Europe is unbelievable. Remember the 250k "fans" he had in Berlin, it happened again in Baden-Baden,Strassburg and Prag last week and even in Turkey. Don't get me wrong, it is good to see that the president is very popular overseas, esp. in my "fatherland". What makes me nervous are the reasons, because most people expect he is going to turn the US into another EU and that isn't really a good thing, I can tell you that much.

    I feel like we just got hijacked by Europe. The point being, many elected someone they thought Europe would like.

    Is there any truth to this reviewers claim about the Bible's authors stealing the Egyption sun god Harus story?
    Im very glad your questions bypass other tedious points. You address wonderful issues, and key points of contention. There is a Horus story, yes. His birthday is on Dec. 25th(proves my point, not this reviewers). Yes, the sun god story was thrown into Christian culture. Notice I said culture. Not true biblical interpertation. In actuality, there is no evidence anywhere in the bible to pinpoint the day of his birth. We know due to references made of the time it had to of been in the fall or spring.
    As for the other supposed facts surrounding Horus, when you have a religion older than the eqyptians, your going to get things from other cultures(older). As the Jewish line is older and the old testament dating back to the orgins of man, you of course will see things ripped off from Jewish tradition, and scriptures. Yes. This probably happend around the time of Joseph. I agree. You see we see the same facts, I just know the timeline of history, and know that jewish culture is much older and can trace its orgins back much further than the eqyptian culture. So my answer is yes, the eyptian culture probably did steal concepts from Jewish religious teachings. As the true will always be perverted, and distorted by its enemies. Think of them Demian, as old school "bashers". Except there not bashing Sirius stock, there bashing the true word of god. My proof of my point is that the Romans tried to attach Dec. 25th(Also Mitras birthday(see, there is more than one sun god that took this birthday) to Jesus, no small community church outside of the Roman law would follow these notions. And is why the Roman catholics are know from being aggressive christians(killing those who dont believe how they do). Because true churches knew their teachings were wrong, and would not tolerate it. Same reason I do not accept Roman catholic choices for their bible translations(Alexandrian gnostic interpertations) vs. the accepted textus rectptus verison we know today its it best form as the king james verion of the bible(for english speakers).
