Best Answer
A:A number of ancient Greek gods were quite similar to Jesus, so much so that the early Christians thought Satan must have come into the world before the time of Jesus and created these traditions in order to confuse the Christians. They could not accept the possibility that the Christian story was influenced by the pagan traditions.

Strong parallels between Dionysius and Jesus have long been recognised. The story of Jesus turning water into wine parallels feats by Dionysis, seemingly intended to prove Jesus as greater than the Greek God. Dionysus is often pictured as riding a donkey amid crowds waving branches of ivy. There are parallels in the ritual meal and the Last Supper. Dionysis descended to Hades to rescue his mother; Jesus descended to hell to preach to the souls. Both symbolise the dying and returning God.

Why were the followers of Jesus named for the greek word Christos?

THE WORD JESUS COMES FROM THE GREEK TRANSLATION OF THE AMARAHIC WORD OR NAME OF ISSA, OR ISSOUS IN GREEK. CHRISTOS IN GREEK MEANS THE MESSIAH, OR THE MESSANGER. THEREFORE THE FULL TRANSLATION OF 'JESUS CHRIST' IS: 'ISSOUS THE MESSANGER' (OF GOD) I.E. 'ISSOUS CHRISTOS'!. THEREFORE 'ISSA, OR ISSOUS, OR JESUS IS THE MESSANGER(OF GOD)- NOT THE SON OF GOD.
