The Lost Years of Jesus…Where the heck was he? With whom did he spend these years? Did Jesus Christ spend 17 years in India? Was Christ known in the east as “Saint Issa”?  There is quite a bit of compelling evidence supporting the seemingly wild proposition that Jesus Christ spent his formative years studying eastern religion in Buddhist monasteries…

Corpse Wheeled to Check-Cashing Store Leads to 2 Arrests

By BRUCE LAMBERT and CHRISTINE HAUSER

Even for the once-notorious Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood, it may have been a first: Two men were arrested on Tuesday after pushing a corpse, seated in an office chair, along the sidewalk to a check-cashing store to cash the dead man’s Social Security check, the police said.

When Virgilio Cintron, 66, died at his apartment at 436 West 52nd Street recently, his roommate and a friend saw an opportunity to cash his $355 check, the police said.

They did not go about it the easy way, the police said, choosing a ruse that resembled the plot of “Weekend at Bernie’s,” a film about two young men who prop up their dead employer to pretend that he is alive…

The more I research this, the more I have begun to consider the claims that perhaps Jesus Christ is a mythical figure handed down (“reincarnated”) in a giant game of telephone from the very earliest myths of a Savior or Son of God…

Here, for example, is an interesting musing on this concept that will possibly blow your mind – check it out…

HORUS OF EGYPT

The stories of Jesus and Horus are very similar, with Horus even contributing the name of Jesus Christ. Horus and his once-and-future Father, Osiris, are frequently interchangeable in the mythos (“I and my Father are one”). The legends of Horus go back thousands of years, and he shares the following in common with Jesus:

• Horus was born of the virgin Isis-Meri on December 25th in a cave/manger, with his birth being announced by a star in the East and attended by three wise men.

• He was a child teacher in the Temple and was baptized .

• He had disciples.

• He performed miracles and raised one man, El-Azar-us, from the dead.

• He walked on water.

• Horus was transfigured on the Mount.

• He was crucified, buried in a tomb and resurrected.

• He was also the “Way, the Truth, the Light, the Messiah, God’s Anointed Son, the Son of Man, the Good Shepherd, the Lamb of God, the Word” etc.

• He was “the Fisher,” and was associated with the Lamb, Lion and Fish (“Ichthys”).

• Horus’s personal epithet was “Iusa,” the “ever-becoming son” of “Ptah,” the “Father.”

• Horus was called “the KRST,” or “Anointed One,” long before the Christians duplicated the story.

In fact, in the catacombs at Rome are pictures of the baby Horus being held by the virgin mother Isis – the original “Madonna and Child” – and the Vatican itself is built upon the papacy of Mithra, who shares many qualities with Jesus and who existed as a deity long before the Jesus character was formalized. The Christian hierarchy is nearly identical to the Mithraic version it replaced. Virtually all of the elements of the Catholic ritual, from miter to wafer to water to altar to doxology, are directly taken from earlier pagan mystery religions.
