IMPORTANT ARGUMENT FOR HOW I KNOW GOD, SATAN, & OTHER DEMONS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE RESEMBLANCES: THE DEMONS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE RESEMBLANCES BETWEEN THE PAGAN GODS & THE PERSONS OF THE TRINITY, IN ORDER TO DRAW PEOPLE TO WORSHIP FALSE GODS & TO BELIEVE THAT THE PERSONS OF THE TRINITY ARE MYTHS BASED ON ANCIENT STORIES. NEVERTHELESS, JOSEPH SAYS IN GENESIS 50 ABOUT JOSEPH'S BROTHERS WHO SELL JOSEPH INTO SLAVERY AND CONSEQUENTLY CAUSE HIM TO END UP AS THE SECOND-IN-COMMAND IN EGYPT THAT GOD CAN USE FOR GOOD WHAT SOMEONE ELSE INTENDS FOR EVIL, AS ANYONE WHOM GOD ALLOWS TO UNDERSTAND WHAT I HAVE WRITTEN CAN SEE, FOR MY WEBSITE SHOWS WITHOUT A DOUBT THAT THE GOD OF THE BIBLE ALLOWED ALL THESE THINGS TO HAPPEN. AND JOB Ch. 1 TEACHES THAT SATAN CANNOT DO ANYTHING WITHOUT GOD'S PERMISSION. The resemblances between the persons of the Trinity and these persons/things are so UNCOMMON/UNIQUE (some examples: being considered the son of a god and the son of a human [most of the heroes of Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey, including Achilles], being said to be born of a virgin and/or on December 25th [Attis, Krishna, Horus, Hercules, Alexander the Great, Plato (second person of the "trinity" of Socrates-Plato-Aristotle), Buddha], coming back from the world of the dead alive [Hercules, Odysseus, Aeneas], being the wisest of all men [Confucius, Socrates], conquering the world & having one's death accompanied by the darkening of the sun during daytime [Krishna, Julius Caesar]) and so exceedingly NUMEROUS that it is utterly absurd to say that all these resemblances are purely coincidental.  It is equally absurd to say that the life of Jesus depicted in the Gospels is based on these persons/things (as is claimed, for instance, on jesusisbuddha.com, in the book The Homeric Epics and the Gospel of Mark, and in the 512!!!!!!!!!!-page book Jesus was Caesar) and that the origin of Christianity is pagan myths as many people have falsely concluded partly due to works like The Da Vinci Code, because

1) it is not simply Buddha, Julius Caesar, Odysseus, or Achilles who resembles the Antichrist & Jesus Christ so strongly, but rather tons of persons/things in Nature such as the Sun and throughout history, including persons who lived after Jesus was crucified such as Leonardo Da Vinci-Michelangelo-Raphael, Shakespeare, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln & JFK, Nietzsche, Hitler;

2) including persons/things from nations all over the world, such as Ancient Sumeria, China (which has huge mountains at its boundaries which made it very isolated throughout most of ancient history from the rest of the world), Persia, India, Egypt, Greece, and even America & the island Tonga near Hawaii which wasn't discovered by Europeans until 1616!!!!!!!!!!, etc., which had limited communication with one another in ancient times and therefore weren't very likely to have copied from one another; and

3) including persons/things who themselves shared much in common, such as carrying crosses, so that you cannot accuse the Gospel writers of taking different aspects of Jesus' life from different stories- his virgin birth from one source, his crucifixion from another, etc.!, as the atheist on this website unwittingly thinks: Jesus & pagan gods; and

4) including persons/things who shared some uncommon characteristics with Christ which sources outside the Bible testify to be true of Christ (ex. Tacitus, the ancient Roman historian, says that "Christus...suffered the extreme penalty" [the name Romans such as Cicero gave to crucifixion] during the reign of Tiberius), so you are a fool if you accuse the Gospel of inventing the fact that Christ was crucified because Prometheus, Oedipus, the American god Quetzalcoatl, & the Egyptian gods, etc. carried crosses &/or had their feet pierced!!!

GOD MADE THESE RESEMBLANCES, AMONG OTHER REASONS: 1) SO THAT WE COULD BE MORE ENABLED TO "LOVE GOD WITH ALL OUR HEART & ALL OUR MIND," SEEING HOW EVERYTHING ELSE I MENTION ON THE WEBSITE IS INFERIOR TO HIM, SEEING HOW EXCEEDING HIS LOVE & POWER OVER EVERYTHING ARE, AND SEEING CLEARLY IN WHAT WAYS WE HAVE BEEN SINNING AND TURN TO HIM WITH ALL OUR HEARTS, FOR IT IS VERY EASY TO BE DECEIVED ABOUT WHAT IS SINFUL:

---"The day of the LORD of hosts [Jesus' Second Coming, which is quickly approaching] shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low [God is using this website to bring partial fulfillment to this prophecy!]...and upon all pleasant pictures.[like LEONARDO DA VINCI'S "MONA LISA."] 17And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: AND THE LORD ALONE SHALL BE EXALTED IN THAT DAY (NOT ALL THE PEOPLE/THINGS IN PARTS ONE & THREE)...22Cease ye from [worshipping] man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of ? (Isaiah 2:12-22)

...AND 2) TO CONVERT A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF PEOPLE TO HIM FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD THROUGH THE DISCOVERIES REVEALED ON THIS WEBSITE, SINCE Jesus said "unless ye see signs and wonders ye in no wise will believe" (John 4:48).ISLAM, HINDUISM, BUDDHISM, CONFUCIANISM, & TAOISM ARE PERHAPS TRANSITIONAL RELIGIONS THE HOLY TRINITY ALLOWED TO BE ESTABLISHED, FOR "ATHEISTS" WOULD BE ARGUABLY HARDER TO CONVERT. In what circumstances are you more likely to succeed: when you have to convince a person of a hundred different things or only of ten different things? Ten, of course. Thus, you don't have to convince Hindus that Christ was born of a virgin, had the Sun darkened at his death, performed miracles, etc., because they already believe the same things about Crishna! I have shared the Gospel with hundreds of people in the past few months alone, and many atheists I met were unwilling to talk about any religion. By contrast, look carefully at these two comments about how the existence of religions like Taoism & Hinduism helped Christians convert adherents to these religions:

-http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daodejing : Since Christian missionaries were among the first Westerners to study the Tao Te Ching, it is not surprising that they connected Taoism (the religion of Lao-Tzu) with Christianity. Assimilation of local religions often helped missionary efforts to convert the populace to Christianity. They drew many parallels between the New Testament and the Tao Te Ching, for instance, "Do good to those who hate you" (Luke 6:27, tr. NASB) and "Requite injuries with good deeds" (chap. 63, tr. Waley).

-http://mosesonmissions.wordpress.com/2007/10/31/sharing-christ-with-hindus/ : "Chandra was an evangelist among Hindu who would first listen to the Hindu point of view and appreciate what is good before sharing Christ. Hindus loved Chandra because he used examples from Hindu writings. He would highlight the Hindu principles and in suitable ways compare them to Christ. He was always referring to the life of Christ when he interacted with Hindus. When they invited Chandra to speak at Hindu gatherings he would tell about the Hindu saints and compare them to the life of Christ." [THEREFORE, WHEN YOU TALK TO A HINDU, COMPARE CRISHNA TO CHRIST, SO THAT HE CAN REALIZE THAT ALMOST EVERYTHING HE BELIEVED ABOUT CRISHNA WAS TRUE INDEED BUT THE TRUE CRISHNA IS CHRIST!]

(On the other hand, Hindus & Buddhists can get very offended if you tell them that Crishna & Buddha were demons incarnate. Hindus furious as Russian Archbishop calls Lord Krishna an ‘evil demon’)

Thus, THIS BOOK PROVIDES COMPELLING EVIDENCE THAT EVERYTHING SAID ABOUT JESUS IN THE BIBLE IS TRUE, AND INCLUDES EVIDENCE FOR THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS AND OF ALL DEAD BODIES AT THE END OF TIME. (ex. in Part One: the Sun is resurrected every morning, the Sun resurrects plants every spring; in Part Two: Jonah returned from the big fish which swallowed him after three days and three nights; in Part Three: Hercules, Odysseus, and Aeneas are said to return from the world of the dead alive and Buddha is said to have reappeared to his disciples, just like Jesus the founder of Christianity)

 

 

GOD "WORKS ALL THINGS ACCORDING TO THE COUNSEL OF HIS WILL" (Eph. 1:11): That God has so much control over the lives of people such as Julius Caesar, Socrates, Confucius, and Buddha is thoroughly consistent with the Bible. “O LORD, I know that the way of [or “road traveled by”] man is not in himself, it is not in man that walks to direct his steps.” (Jeremiah 10:23)  Jeremiah says this after he speaks of God sending the King of Assyria to conquer the Jews, and thereby implies that the King’s coming is a “step” of the king.  By “steps,” Jeremiah apparently means whatever a person does.  For the same Hebrew word is used for “steps” when holy Job (whom God made as a symbol of Christ) says about God, “Does not he see my ways, and count all my steps?” (Job 31:4), and then immediately goes on throughout Job Ch. 31 to describe many different things he did, such as how he never fornicated, never ignored his servants complaints against him, never denied his food to widows and orphans, clothed the needy, never struck an orphan, never wished an enemy of his to die, and welcomed many traveling people into his home.  God indeed governs your actions, even if you are not Christian and not aware of this fact!
