COMPARISONS OF THE "CHRISTIAN SAVIOR" AND THE VARIOUS SUN-MYTHS OF THE GENTILE NATIONS

It is imperative that you do not forget what you have just read and studied out because such information is foundational to the proofs which follow.

We must again call to mind that..."Personification of nature and the Sun led to glorification of nature and the sun which eventually led to deification of the Sun?

Let us compare the history of the "Savior" which we have already seen, with that of the Sun, as it is found in the Vedas. Again, the Vedas is the general name for the body of ancient Sanskrit hymns (India/Hindu) with the accompanying comments, believed by the Hindus to have been received by Brahma, and on which the Brahmanical system is based (a Brahma is a member of the sacred or sacerdotal caste among the Hindus). We are beginning with the oldest recorded religious history known to man. One can follow in the Vedic hymns, step by step, the development which changes the Sun from a mere luminary into a " Creator," "Preserver," "Ruler" and "Rewarder of the World "—in fact, into a Divine or Supreme Being.

The first step leads us from the mere light of the Sun to that light which in the morning wakes man from sleep, and seems to give new life, not only to man, but to the whole of nature. He who wakes us in the morning, who recalls all nature to new life, is soon called "The Giver of Daily Life."
Secondly, by another and bolder step, the Giver of Daily Light and Life becomes the giver of light and life in general. He who brings light and life today, is the same who brought light and life on the first of days. As light is the beginning of the day, so light was the beginning of creation, and the Sun, from being a mere light-bringer or life-giver, becomes a Creator, and, if a Creator, then soon also a Ruler of the World.
Thirdly, as driving away the dreaded darkness of the night, and likewise as fertilizing the earth, the Sun is conceived as a "Defender" and kind "Protector" of all living things. In reality the Sun becomes the Savior of mankind!
Fourthly, the Sun sees everything, both that which is good and that which is evil; and how natural therefore that the evil-doer should be told that the Sun sees what no human eye may have seen, and that the innocent, when all other help fails him, should appeal to the sun to attest his guiltlessness!

Let us examine now, says Prof. Muller, from whose work we have quoted before, a few passages (from the Rig-Veda) illustrating every one of these perfectly natural transitions.

"In hymn vii. we and the Sun invoked as "The Protector of everything that mores or stands of all that exists."

"Frequent allusion is made to the Sun's power of seeing everything. The stars flee before the all-seeing Sun, like thieves (R. V. vii.). He sees the right and the wrong among men (Ibid.). He who looks upon the world, knows also all thoughts in men (Ibid.)."

"As the Sun sees everything and knows everything, he is asked to forget and forgive what he alone has seen and knows (R V. iv.)."

"The Sun is asked to drive away illness and bad dreams (R. V. x.)."

"Having once, and more than once, been invoked as the life-bringer, the Sun is also called the breath or life of all that moves and rests (R. V. i.); and lastly, he becomes the maker of all things, by whom all the worlds have been brought together (R. V. x.), and . . . Lord of man and of all living creatures."

"He is the God among gods (R. V. i.); he is the divine leader of all the gods (R. V. viii. )."

"He alone rules the whole world (R. V. v.)." "The laws which he has established are firm (R. V. iv.), and the other gods not only praise him (R. V. vii.), but have to follow him as their leader (R. V. v.)" (Muller, Origin of Religions, pp. 264-268).

PROVING THAT THE HISTORY OF JESUS CHRIST AS FOUND IN THE NEW TESTAMENT ..."THE CHRISTIAN SAVIOR", THE "TRUE LIGHT," WHICH LIGHTETH EVERY MAN THAT COMETH INTO THE WORLD (Jn. 1:9).......IS SIMPLY THE HISTORY OF THE SUN

In the articles and pages that follow I will address one aspect after another concerning the life of Yeshua as recorded in the New Testament and compare them with the more ancient Pagan Sun myths. Remember we are attempting to come to the answer for a very serious question:

IS GENTILE CHRISTIANITY A DIVINE AND UNIQUE REVELATION FROM GOD...OR IS IT A PIOUS FRAUD BASED UPON THE RETELLING OF SUN-MYTHS?

REMEMBER IN ALL OF THIS "NEGATIVE" INFORMATION AS WE EXPOSE UNTRUTHS....OUR PURPOSE IS TO FIND THE "TRUTH" ABOUT A JEWISH RABBI NAMED YESHUA WHOSE MESSAGE WAS REPENTANCE IN PREPARATION FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD TO COME.......

PROCEED TO THE EXAMINATION OF THE DATA ....THE "COMPARISON ARTICLES" CONCERNING THE STORY OF JESUS AS FOUND IN THE NEW TESTAMENT AND THE SUN-MYTHS OF PAGAN NATIONS
