This movie is mentioned in a locked thread so just put it here...
Zeitgeist part 1 - Christianity (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNf-P_5u_Hw)
In a nutshell the creators of the documentary claim all concepts of Christianity have been stolen from Greek and Egyptian mythology.
And yes, there are many parallels. The documentary looks solid. Until....
Refutation of the documentary can be found here:

They stole them form the old testament, which contains a lot of info about the new testament :2c:
:thumbsup:
Any thoughts on the rest of the Zeitgeist movie - the 9/11 conspiracy NWO stuff?
Ironically the Zeitgeist movie was one of the triggers that led me to learn of universal salvation...
I agree with the other 2 parts.
Believers grading a movie about how a non believer understands what the Bible is all about...I get it...and then you have a man who is theologiclly taught in all the languages used with the Bible but there is not one mention of Spirit understanding and discerment...I just wonder why some believers waste time in certain discussions that others entertain as having to do with faith in Jesus Christ. What one does with ones time. Duh.
Perhaps.... Joh 6:63 the spirit it is that is giving life; the flesh doth not profit anything; the sayings that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life; or
Joh 4:23 but, there cometh an hour, and it now is, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father also doth seek such to worship him;
Are of greater value than "movies" that have no spiritual understanding and reason of the Jesus Christ the Saviour of the whole world.
