I am not looking for an argument. The Indians were coming in to Egypt for centuries. A cult developed around Yeshu, a name for Krishna. His number two was Pet.Ra, same kind of name as Potiphe.Ra, related to the sun god Ra, and he was the gatekeeper of the Egyptian heaven. He got the same position in the new cult. The mother’s name was either Maya, mother of Buddha, or Meri, a common Egyptian name. When Greeks got hold of the myth they gave her a Latin name Maria, cognate of Marius. Petra in Greek is feminine so that was flipped that to Petros. The first the Jews heard about this myth was circa 120. Meir, the sage, read the book in Greek. He called it the Aven Gilyon, “an edition of inquity.” But they knew the god in the myth with the Greek name by his original Hindi name and it was never changed.

This is the kind of tripe that comes from groups like Institute of Divine Metaphysical Research-IDMR- They claim the Greek word Christos means Krishna. But if one translated Krishna to English it is not Christos since they have no equivalent word for this in their language. What they ( and your by your claims) are trying to make a connection with a pagan god(s) by phonics (what the word sounds like )and not the actual definition of the word used.

So idov - perhaps you need to come out of the closet and quit producing this tripe

The Delhi to Cairo flights were full every day ...

I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.

Jews like Rabbi Akiva should not have hailed Simon, so-called Bar Kochba, as a messiah, giving people false hope. the revolt was a continuation of the disastrous first war started in 66 which had led to the destruction of the temple, the deaths and suffering of huge numbers of Jewish people. The second war sealed the Diaspora already begun and was the origin of Palestine. Hebrew Christians could not fight for a false messiah which was a wise choice.

I am not looking for an argument.

Indeed, you want the freedom to scornfully refer to "the numskulls translated the Torah," and to assert the writer of the book of Daniel was a con artist, and to relegate Christianity to a Greek myth and a “social disease,” and Christians as being “parasites,” “cancer,” and to proudly boast "I am what you call a heretic. They don’t burn us today, sorry." All on an officially pro-God forum, as in Judeo-Christian. But which arrogance befits your attitude.

If you are not looking for an argument then do not post such propaganda, which has about as much credibility as Mormonic doctrine, and swallowed by you. Such copycat contrivances abound and have been refuted, but they are latched onto by many who seek some way to deny the Lord Jesus who will be their savior or judge.

Many sources can be provided, but here i will stay on one site that deals with such copycat assertions. See here on Were Bible stories and characters stolen from pagan myths? >

And here on Are Jesus and Krishna Parallels?

And Did Nazareth Exist? --

And here on Did Jesus exist ?

And The Book of Daniel Defended

For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty. (2 Peter 1:16)
