Food for thought...

Not sure if any of you have had a chance to look into any mythology, but there are some underlying themes that take place in just about all myths.

-God/Goodess creates man from clay/dust/dirt or some other part of the earth.
-God/Goodess at somepoint wipes out the race of humans through the use of a flood
-The Hero of the story is usually the son/daughter of a god, comes in a mysterious way and has super strength and fights monsters

(I think I'm forgetting one, I'll check later and edit it if needed)

Just one more thing.... if you look at Greek mythology, what most people don't realize, is that it wasn't a myth to them. That was what they truly believed, that was their religion.

These aren't made up at all... I will cite some references in the morning... take of it as you will.

Take care,

-B

[facelessman]

yeah ive seen stuff on the discovery channel that has made those connections

Where ya think they got that??? Hmmm... could it be that God did make us out of "clay" and sent His Son to Save us all? Nah, were just all Hell bound. Think about this for a second, what drives someone to become a Christian? I know we werent born like that,most people hear about it and then fianlly realize it is true.
If God made the world and sent His Son to save us, why dont we except it? It is history,it is what happened whether we choose to believe it or not, Most people belive Jesus was real,but what proof do we have that He was? The Bible? Well why wouldnt the whole Bible be true? Noah's ark? That really happen? many non-Christians believe it did? Why do they believe it? The Bible? Well if why would parts of the Bible be true and not other parts?
Really. And another thing if you read in the Bible about the end times,you can actually see it happening now all around us,its kinda scary ,but then its cool because we(Christians) know we are going Home soon.

Most of these myths have been around MUCH MUCH longer than the bible. All I was pointing out is that all myths(greek, egyptian, chinese, native american) have certain underlying themes. Most of those themes are found in Christianity. Most of those myths have been around MUCH longer than Christianity. That's all I was pointing out.

18 years in the church, a few religion classes and read alot.... I wouldn't claim to be knowledgible, I just try to always learn something from somebody and always try to stay humble. Once you shrug aside someone's opinion and not try to understand where they are coming from, you cheat yourself from reaching a greater level of wisdom.
