Is Jesus the son of Zeus and Mary?

Answer 1

No.

The name 'Jesus' means 'he who saves'.

The other names of Jesus mean as follows:

'The Messiah' or 'The Christ' means 'The anointed one'

'Emmanuel' means 'God with us' referring to Jesus' divinity.

The silly idea that Jesus means 'son of Zeus' is a result of bigoted idiots thinking that they know a great deal about scripture having read one or two bogus websites plus, perhaps, a Dan Brown novel.

"Jesus stems from the Greek word "Iesous" which was a very loose translation of Yahshua.

The Greeks were obsessed with the gods, so it makes sense that in the Greek language, Iesous translates to "son of Zeus". But this perverts the name of the Son of God into something less than what he is. He was NOT the son of an imaginary philandering lightning thrower.

The real problem here is that we (as a Christian community) have used the translated Greek into our language. We SHOULD have translated the Hebrew and ignored the Greek name altogether. When the Angel spoke to Mary, it said His name would be "Yahshua". "Yahshua" is the name given from the throne of the I AM to his son. So, any name we call him should be translated off the original name, not a Greek perversion.

The name Jesus does come from 2 greek words meaning "son of Zeus." That is the problem encountered by translating from the pagan greek instead of from the Hebrew, the original writing of scriptures, in which we find the true name of the son of YAHWEH, and that son's name is, not was, YESHUA/YAHSHUA.

The word iesous does mean son of Zeus while the name YESHUA/YAHSHUA means YAHWEH IS SALVATION, Joshua in English. The church has chosen the wrong name for all these centuries. Truth will prevail though, every time.

Answer 2

Jesus Christ is eternal, in other words, he has no beginning nor end. He is the eternal Son of the Father. Human beings (you and I) have one person (You or Me) and each of us has two natures - a mortal nature which will die and be buried, and a spiritual nature - our soul or spirit which can not die.

God has only one Nature: the Divine Nature, the Godhead, but He has Three Persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. But there is only one God (the Divine Nature) with the three persons - just sort of backwards from the way we are.

The relation of the Three Persons in God is that God the Son proceeds (eternally) from the Father, and the Holy Spirit proceeds (eternally) from them both. It's like God has an idea - the God who is having the idea is the Father, the Idea is itself a person, and that is what we call Jesus, the Son, in the Old Testament and in The Gospel of John, He is the Word. Sorry, getting too complicated here...

Zeus is a mythical (we think) made up "god" of the ancient world. In their eyes, he was a human like being with a body, and moods just like us. There is a real possibility he was a demon, in other words, one of the fallen angels who presented himself to mankind as a "god". In the first case, he is a figment of the collective people's imagination, in the second case he is a creature of God (a fallen angel) created by God the Word, in other words, by Jesus. Under no conditions could he possibly be the father of the Eternal Word. No, Jesus Christ can not possibly we the son of Zeus

Answer 3

They cannot possibly be, since they are from two different religions. Zeus is from Greek mythology and Jesus is from Christianity.

Answer:

The only Greek god that may be similar to Jesus and thus form part of the Jesus story is Dionysus. The similarities were:

• God (Zeus) was his father, his mother was a mortal
• He is associated with a spring religious rite (like Jesus and Easter)
• Both were associated with wine
• Dionysus flesh was eaten by the Titans
• There are frequent drawings of Dionysus on a donkey with branch waving crowds
• After death he goes to Mount Olympus to be with the other gods

Answer 4

No, your mixing religions. Zeus was a mythological Greek god who's parents are said to be Cronus and Rhea. Jesus was a man allegedly born parthenogenetically of Mary, and said to be the son of "god" (AKA, Jehovah).

Answer 5

The theory comes about through the Greek name Ιησουϛ, Iesous which is pronounced like Ee-ay-sooce. It sounds similar to Yay Zeus.The Messiah's name in Hebrew is יְהוֹשׁוּע Yehowshuwa, written in Greek it would be as Ιωσυα

Answer 6

"hey Zeus" is the Spanish pronounciation of Jesus, a common Spanish name.

Answer 7

NO! jesus is the son of the lord!

Answer 8

no
