Virgin births in mythology are the norm, not the exception, and Jesus is not the first deity to have his birth celebrated on December 25th. Pointing out inconsistencies in the Bible and with Christian tradition has been going on for centuries.
I think young moderate Christians growing up in the age of Trutherism might find this interesting. They'll think they're on to something that no one else knows about, which is indicative of a culture rife with conspiracy theories.
But I doubt anyone outside that niche will care.
As noted in post #13, that isn't true. It's just another modern myth.
“Krishna belonged to the royal family of Mathura, and was the eighth son born to the princess Devaki, and her husband Vasudeva.” (Wikipedia). Not a virgin birth.
“But the Olympian gods, fearing Agdistis, cut off the male organ and cast it away. There grew up from it an almond-tree, and when its fruit was ripe, Nana ...picked an almond and laid it in her bosom. The almond disappeared, and she became pregnant. Nana abandoned the baby (Attis). ..Attis went mad and cut off his genitals. ...Attis was reborn as the evergreen pine.” (Wikipedia). Sort of a virgin birth, with a penis-almond involved. Definitely not a crucifixion. Not exactly a resurrection. Transformation into a plant - laurel tree, reeds, narcissus - is a common Greek element.
Being an old deaconess of the Faith (in Jesus Christ),
I see these films come and go. I also expect new
(and allbeit Biblically illiterate) believer’s to pitch
themselves into a frothy outrage.
Our best defense is to pray that God would put a shield
of confusion over the uninitiated who see the movie.
Ask God to pour out His light on that dark place, that
darkness cannot dwell with light. Seems to me it would
be pretty difficult to view a movie with the Light of
Christ shining everywhere.
Our next defense is to quit talking about it with
reactive outrage. It only kindles curiousity and fuels
interest in this kind of filth.
I have learned to be still and know that God is in
control.
His always... Jo
You say this as if it were true. Yet, it is not.
In any case, I find it humorous that you feel the need to display your personal stats on your FR homepage as you pose in front of a modern “temple”.
Sounds like you’ve found your own god :-)
So Anakin Skywalker is not Jesus?
