Is Christianity Copied from Pagan Beliefs?
Channel: Reasoned Answers
Date: 2022-03-31

In recent years, the popularity of Jesus myth "theories" has risen significantly in atheist circles.  They suggest the person of Jesus is not derived from history, but rather pre-Christian religions.  Muslims make similar claims, but for completely different reasons, believing the "true" (Muslim) message of Jesus was corrupted and ultimately replaced by paganism.  But do these ideas hold any water.  Michael Jones from InspiringPhilosophy will joins me live to discuss.
