There is no evidence of this at all. Even the Neanderthals seem to have
had a vague concept of the afterlife, but so do elephants.
Neanderthals - that's what I said. Elephants - did they tell you that?

The supreme
being idea arose in Classical times. China has survived thousands of
years without it.
You're confusing your neanderthals with your chinese.
Chinese what?
What ever you're talking about.
You'll have to do better than that, old chap.
It's good enough for me.

Rather my point, I think.

Then cruise onward in your ignorance, old chap.

It's constantly being referenced in Christianity. The concept of the OT
prefiguring the NT is a significant part of religious observation and belief.

Sinless Jesus replacing the sinful Adam, Mary said "let it be done to me
according to your will" replacing the Eve who said "I'll decide and not God".

Many of the OT books speak in terms of the coming Messiah.

The old covenant (agreement) with the Jews being old and worn out and in need of
replacement by the new covenant (agreement).

It's a consistent theme throughout the bible.

There is no true history in mythology.
The resurrection you claim remains a copycat of other gods.
There are no other resurrections. There are no other gods. Perhaps
you can name another "god", and then show **writings** about it that
are older than 2000 years older.
Plutarch, in his Lives ("Alcibiades," XVIII), speaking of the
sailing of the Greek fleet for Syracuse in the year 415 B.C., says: "It
was an evil omen that the festival of Adonis fell in those days.
Numbers of women bore images, like dead bodies, and held mock funerals;
and they mourned and chanted the solemn hymns." After three days in
hell Adonis was born again. He is also the "hebrew" god Adonai.
Cultural references to the rebirth mythology
Death of Adonis, by Luca Giordano.The myth of the death and rebirth of
Adonis has featured prominently in a variety of cultural and artistic
works.
Including Christianity without difference or distinction save in the
nature of the miracles which go along with it.
Not a chance. Adonis is not a Christian figure,but a mythical figure from
Greek lit.
Jesus was not a Christian. He was a character from Galilean
mythology.

YOU........are a character from a Roman mythology.

The dude was born from a tree. Haahaahaahaahaa.
In what way is a virgin less miraculous?
God.

You said a miracle. I gave you a miracle. By your definition a
miracle requires a god.

And there was no dude born from a tree. Haahaahaahaahaa.

Does the Y in Yahweh indicate the nature of his divine sperm?
Yahweh is a Jewish name.

What does a name matter? What is he doing with sperm? I thought you
guys claimed you god was not material.

That's right.

How does Isis and Osiris differ from Madonna and Child?
Isis and Osiris never existed.
There is as much evidence for their existence as for Jesus.

Nope, isis and osiris never existed. You can find them in the index of the
Mythology book.

Some day you might ask yourself why your god deliberately imitated
existing god stories. Why not something original instead? Was it
necessary to take advantage of existing superstitions to gain
credibility?

Speaking like that doesn't understand the OT prefigured the NT.

That does not tell me why there was nothing original. It is clear
you god immitated other gods.

Nothing came before Almighty God. We know he existed at least 13.7 billion
years ago. After all, he created the universe and all in it.

We know this how?[/quote]

As it didn't. Many of the literary tropes were simply repeated, that's
all.

Then you don't understand that the OT prefigures the NT and the arrival of the
Messiah.

I understand the proposition, but it is wrong.[/quote]
