What do Christians think of the countless similarities between Jesus and the Egyptian god Horus?
Having been to Egypt last year I can assure you that Jesus will have looked nothing like the statue of Horus! Any other supposed similarities are not worth even thinking about. If people wish to believe a lie then make comparisons with Horus, if you wish to know the reality read the Bible, the inspired word of God and don’t get sucked into this nonsense. Jesus had a real purpose in life to save people from their sins. Read the Bible for yourself and don’t get distracted from reality.

The Bible has countless of predictions and scientific facts beyond it’s time it was written that still match up with today’s history and science. Such as the return of Israel and how the Bible said about 3000 years ago that the life of every creature is in its blood.
