According to atheist New Testament scholar Bart Ehrman (Did Jesus Exist?: The Historical Argument for Jesus of Nazareth), critics like Kersey Graves, Timothy Freke, Peter Gandy, (Freke and Gandy’s book – The Jesus Mysteries: Was the “Original Jesus” a Pagan God?) and Frank Zindler (“How Jesus Got a Life”), claim that Christianity borrowed ideas from ancient mystery religions. For example, Ehrman writes: “In Zindler’s view, Christ’s biography started as a set of astrological and comparative mythological speculations in a pagan mystery cult, based to a large extent on the ancient ‘mystery religion’ of Mithraism. According to Zindler, the cult figure of the Mithraists, the Persian god Mithras, was said to have been born on December 25 to a virgin; his cult was headed by a ruler who was known as a pope, located on the Vatican hill; the leaders of the religion wore miters and celebrated a sacred meal to commemorate the atoning death of their savior God, who was said to have been raised from the dead on a Sunday. . . . What evidence does he give for his claim that the Mithraists moved their religion to Palestine to help them find the king of the Jews? None at all. And so we might ask: what evidence could he have cited, had he wanted to do so? It’s the same answer. There is no evidence. This is made up” (213).   What is known about Jesus comes from Jews around 30AD (27). Timothy Freke and Peter Gandy try to claim that they can draw parallels from Christ to Osiris, Dionysus, Attis, Adonis, Baccus, and Mithras. However, Ehrman severely critiques their sources: “Freke and Gandy claim that this is common knowledge. And they ‘prove’ it by quoting other writers from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries who said so. But these writers too do not cite any historical evidence. This is all based on assertion, believed by Freke and Gandy simply because they read it somewhere. This is not serious historical scholarship.

A Biblical Scholar Makes a Christian Preacher Speechless A major biblical scholar, Bart Ehrman, drops a truth bomb that leaves the Christian debater speechless.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Speaking as a historical expert, he confirms:⁣⁣ • The Gospels do not claim to be written by eyewitnesses. • They were written 40-60 years after Jesus died. • They were written in Greek, not Jesus’s language (Aramaic). • They were written in different countries by people who only heard stories that changed over decades of oral transmission. This is a critical piece of information when comparing the preservation of the Bible to that of the Qur’an. ⁣⁣ #BartEhrman #Bible #Theology #History #Dawah #IslamAndChristianity #Gospels #NewTestament #Apologetics #JesusInIslam #Debate
