The Real Issue Podcast: Is Jesus a Copycat Messiah Coming from Mithras?
One of the most "formidable objections" that pop atheists use to come after Christianity is that the story of Jesus' birth and resurrection are spinoff stories of pagan mythologies like Mithras, Horus, Dionysius or some other pagan deity. The main claim is that all of these stories of the pagan deities claim a virgin birth on December 25th.
Welcome to The Real Issue Podcast. On our show today Rob examines the claim from the pagan story of Mithra. With us coming upon Christmas time, many advocates coming from the atheist camp claim that Jesus is a copycat of the pagan deities and thus He really did not exist. Rob crushes this objection painting the picture of mythicists, provide a few examples on WHY Jesus is the real original and not the pagan gods. He also examines the claims of Mithraism and why Jesus stands atop of all claims coming from the pagan religions.
Commercials from this ministry and from The One Minute Apologist with Bobby Conway interviewing Mary Jo Sharp from Confident Christianity.
Opening / closing music from Kerry Livgren's "Ancient Wing" from the album, "One of Several Possible Musicks"
