Was Jesus Christ Serapis Chrestus?

[LtheDetective]

Serapis was created by Ptolemy Soter. The African Egyptians wouldn't recognize him as pharaoh because he didn't stem from any Egyptian rulers who were descendants of Amun. So Ptolemy fashioned himself as a God, Serapis, so that his offsprings has "legitimate" rights to the throne. The council of nicea wasn't held to decide the divine nature of Jesus. It was held because a civil war broke out by some people calling him Jesus and the elders still calling him Serapis. So Constantine held a meeting in which they voted and decided to unite under Serapis Chrestus's newer name.... Jesus Christ

You discuss the historical facts about the creation of the Serapis being a myth but then discuss the mythical stories about Jesus as if they were facts. Isaiah didn't prophesy Jesus, and definitely did not say he was the same as Jaweh or that he would send his son to be sacrificed - which is a silly idea but fits in with other ancient barbaric rituals. The writers of the gospels used the Jewish scriptures to create the Jesus character, most times erroneously like the virgin birth story and made up stories to suit their narrative like the Herod baby massacre and flight to Egypt which did not happen but is a mirror image of the Moses story. The resurrection idea was used before the Christians and I don't think a god who is supposed to be the only real god would copy other myths. And yes the Jesus character in one of the gospels did say to continue the ritual of sacrifice saying 'do this in memory of me'. There is no historical evidence of Jesus from the time he was supposed to have existed so I think it is more likely to be a myth based on Greco Roman and Jewish religions.

You beginning breakdown on the facts of Serapis was great. However, when you try to validate your Jesus myth by using the alleged histories of the Hebrews, you lost the the true meaning of the video. Fact - there's no proof of a Hebrew until 3rd Century BC. Research earnestly the Tel el-Amarna letters. Those artifacts crushes even the slightest idea of an Exodus, Jericho or a mighty kingdom Israel when the land was fully occupied by Egyptian administration and army in control. Also the so-called Israel Stele is not talking a people but a fertile mountain range called the Jezreel valley, look it up. What you see is the Hebrew language and the Bible (Septuagint) appear all around the 3rd century BC, after Greek occupation of Egypt. Facts over fiction. Nice visual presentation though.

You were on the right track at first but went way off, You dismissed very convincing points by trying to quote the Hebrew Bible as some sort of validation for the character Jesus but there are many issues with that, First is mistreating the prophet, Isaiah Christians have taken that verse and mistreated and stuck it to their character, "A virgin shall conceive" The word virgin never appears in the text the word from for virgin is (bethulah) and the word that actually appears in the text is (Almah) which translates to young women. Much of Isaiah's prophecies are not of things in far in the future but things that are happening near the time of Isaiah, To understand Isaiah you must understand the historic setting of Isaiah.

The prophets of the old testament would be horrified if they saw what the new testament did with their text, You also combined Jesus and Serpis side by side which you can not do because Christianity is a heavily syncretized religion that was influenced by many ancient pagan myths like the Egytipian Osirus, died and resurrected, known as the good shepherd, had a eucharist before Jesus, The Greek Dionysus died and resurrected, Born of God and mortal women, performed miracles, worshipers drank wine and ate raw flesh.

Then we have The Persian God Mithras, Who without question was a very huge influence on Christianity, Mithras, Son of God, Born of virgin Anahita, known as savior and light of the world, Judger of souls, followed by twelve zodiacs, apart of a trinity, And followers also drank wine and breed in communion. All thousands of years before Christianity.

Of note is that Isaiah didn't utter a prophecy that Jesus would be born of a virgin. The verse in question is Isaiah 7:14 and in the LXX (the Septuagint), when they were translating the Hebrew word 'almah' (which means young maiden or recently married woman) into Greek for the LXX, they used the word 'parthenos' which could mean 'virgin' or 'unmarried woman of marriable age', but doesn't necessarily mean 'virgin'. Matter of fact, if the Hebrew had used the word 'betula'.

Jesus was never a historical figure! Please read a little before posting a content on a subject you're ignorant about

(About the birth of Jesus)

According to the gospels...

Mary had to "walk 100 miles" from Nazareth to Bethlehem to get to the MANGER in order to give birth to baby Jesus

Upto this point, the story is very "Unrealistic"

Considering that Mary & Joseph went there to register for Census makes the story...very...

"ILLOGICAL"

Because, census is where you reside currently, not where your ancestors came from

Mothers have been giving birth for 2000 years, not ever wondering how Mary walked 100 miles without her water breaking, hiking over mountains
