What are similarities between Horus the Sungod and Jesus Christ?

There is no comparison. One is true God come in the flesh (John 1:1-3,14), the other is a myth.
Dionysus was the Greek god of wine, a false mythical god, who supposedly believed in freeing yourself from your normal condition, by madness, ecstasy, or wine.
Jesus never sinned and was without fault, otherwise He could not have died for our sins. He would have had to die for His own. But the sinless Son of God paid for the sins of the whole world, "that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish (in Hell), but [would] have everlasting life." John 3:16.
AnswerAccording to their respective histories/folklore, Dionysus and Jesus were both born of a mortal virgin mother and an immortal father. They are also both associated with the persistence or immortality of the human soul, and both are associated with rituals involving eating and drinking items symbolic of their flesh and blood (cult rites for Dionysus, and Communion for Jesus Christ). Also, according to Greek-Roman mythology, Dionysus dies and descends into Hell for three days, then rises again, still living. In the Bible, Jesus is said to die for three days before returning to Earth as a living man. AnswerThe similarities are in the artwork, culture, practices, religion and language. The pictures of Jesus from the icons of the eastern and western church show the hand sign of the cult of Dionysus. The two fingers extended with two curled back is called the Latin Benediction and was used by many of the popes to bless the faithful.Culturally, the birth, life, death and resurrection mimic each other as Jesus is born in the same season as Dionysus, lives then dies by the springtime only to be resurrected at Easter during the same time as the ancient pagan Great Dionysia. The Christian monk named Dionysius Exiguus, set the date for Easter!
The use of swine flesh for food was part of the pagan cult of Dionysus as it was the preferred sacrificial animal. We see today that even with the Old Testament prohibitions on the use and consumption of pork, Christians, for the most part, eat pig flesh. No where in the New Testament does the Messiah allow this violation of Divine Law! In the passion play of the mass, the use of bread and wine (the gift of the man-god Dionysus) is turned into the flesh and blood of Jesus. This act mimics the pagan practices of the Dionysus worship where his devotees would roam the wild in search of game then attack animals and eat their flesh raw and drink their blood! Also look at how some church people get the spirit and act as if they are driven into madness as they dance about or roll about on the floor.
The concept of the "the father and I are one" comes from the pagan Greek religion where Zeus (Dios) and Dionysus are one in the same deity. He (Dionysus then Jesus) was the "Alpha and Omega", "the liberator and savior of mankind". The father-god Dios takes on a animal form and comes to Earth and begets children with a human female. The Holy Spirit (not the father) comes to Earth as a bird (dove) and visits Mary and she becomes pregnant.
The use of the Greek language, mythology and philosophy as a means to convey the religion is extensive. The text in Greek let Greek ideas predominate. And as such, Dios, Zeus and Dionysus related ideas and namesakes do (there are more saints, monks, bishops and popes named Dionysius than Jesus). Logos and other Hellenistic ideas/myths are a direct result of this. Even today the Christian world still celebrate the Dionysus festival called Carnival or Bacchanal (Mardi Gras), call on the Almighty with the name of the father-god of the pagan Greeks - Dios (Zeus) and Saint Denis (Dionysius) is the patron saint of France!

∙ 7y agoIt was common for sun gods to die and be resurrected or reborn. Horus was resurrected, although there are not many similarities with the gospel stories of the resurrection of Jesus. Most of the parallels that do exist between Jesus and Horus would equally apply to other sun gods of the ancient Near East.

What are similarities between Ra and Jesus?
As far as I can tell, there is no one person that can compare to Jesus of Nazareth. There is no other human that has ever walked on earth that has come close to what Jesus did. Not Moses, nor any other prophet or leader can match the significance of import that Jesus did for the world. As modern people, we take for granted all the Christ did for humanity. But who would sacrifice their only child for ungrateful and wayward people, sinful and unrepentant. As a parent I find that absolutely amazing. Many people do not realize the enormity of what Christ did for us. While He hung on that cross, the weight of the world's sin was on His shoulders entirely. And yet one of His last words were 'forgive them Father, they know not what they do.' When all was said and done, His thoughts were for us. An ungrateful and unrepentant world, not worthy of the Father or the Son. As a parent, I cannot imagine the sacrafice of child. But God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son. Food for thought. This person is an example of brainwashing religion does Egypts first god Horus 3000 BC -Born on December 25th -Born of a virgin named Isis Mary -His birth was accompanied by a star in the East -Upon his birth he was he was adored by 3 kings -At age 12 he was a child prodigal teacher -At the age of 30 he was baptized and started his ministry at 30 years old -Horus had 12 deciples who travels around with him while he preformed miracles such as walking on water and healing the sick -He was betrayed by typhoon and crucified -3 days later he resurrected Does that sound like somebody we know named jesus christ? the only difference is 3000 BC is when horus "Existed"

Horus is important because he is the sun god. Like Jesus he is the sun. The simularities between Horus and Jesus is uncanny. The whole born from the virgin Mary is the same as horus.

The sun of God.

Why is the story of Jesus the same as the story of Horus?
A:The New Testament was written in Greek, and its authors would therefore have been familiar with the cult of Horus. In addition, Keel and Uehlinger (Gods, Goddesses and Images of God in Ancient Israel) say that Horus is the best-documented foreign god in the onomasticon (derivation of personal names used on seals) of Israel and Judah from Iron Age II, but particularly Judah in the late monarchy. In Phoenicia the Egyptian deity most commonly represented on high quality scarabs was Isis, nursing the infant Horus, much like later representations of Mary and Jesus. Although these scarabs were not found in Judah, the onomasticon shows that Horus was worshipped there, and Judahites would have been familiar with the imagery. It is not impossible that Horus remained, at least culturally, part of Jewish religious thought into the first century CE. It is also very possible that similarities between Horus and Jesus are simply coincidences.
