Many critical thinkers have pondered over the story of
Jesus and have often questioned the veracity of the gospel. One of
these critical thinkers is the musician Mz Bel who believe that Jesus
does not exist but just a creation of the mind since some Egyptian
gods known as horus bored similar characteristics as the gospel of
Christ.
In starting, even if there is some
traceable consanguinity between horus and the gospel of Christ my own
investigation proves the contrary. If the Old Testament is true then
it goes without saying that, Jesus is true, see Isaiah 9:6 and the
psalm 2:7. Which all confirms the coming of Christ before his advent.
What every Christrian should know is that, right from the birth of
Jesus, the Jews and pharisees opposed every move and eventually had to
crucify him because he said he was/is the son of God. Again, Jesus
made some changes to the law of Moses which did not go down well with
the Jews. For instance, stoning adulterer and adulteress to death,
Jesus inserted the clause ' if you have no sin then you can cast the
first stone'. See John 8:3-7 The narcotic effect of the live of Jesus
is what you see in other scriptures today that there is no god but
God, and God has no son to try to annihilate the fatalistic belief in
Christ.
Since these horus were in
existence way before Christ, am yet to see or hear any activity
it/they performed in recorded history regarding scriptures.
What is more, is the fact that the gospel has taught us how to
live happily with each other in terms of who our neighbour is, and to
love your neighbour as yourself which is a pedestrian example of the
life of the' prince of peace'. Your neighbour is not one who shares
the same faith or religion with you, but every mortal. Nothing can be
compared with Christianity where the God of peace resides. In this
trying times, the noonday splendour with which Christianity is
sparkling calls for an enthusiastic embrace but not snide and
thoughtless whims.
Precisely what beats my splenetic imagination is,
whether the falcon-headed horus ever claimed to be God in any one time
in their Egyptian existence and did it/they ever prophesy any coherent
thing that came or is yet coming to pass?
However, Christians can comfortably
call Jesus God because the scriptures say so. See John 14:8-9. And
also Mathew 1:23 and really I became more faithful when I read
Revelation 1:17. Yes, moreover, it is only God who can raise Lazarus
from death and many others. Also, it is only God who can prophesy
things to come like what we see in John 16:2 and I quote ' They shall
put you out of the Synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever
killeth you will think that he does God service'. Are followers of
Christ and/or perceived followers of Christ not seen as animals and
being butchered everyday in confirmation of the above quote?
The unavailing consolation to every Christian is the
reception of the Holy Ghost which Jesus breathed into his followers.
This instance can be seen in John 20:22 .
Regarding corruption in the
church, I will advice that we allow God to judge and brethren, do not
be jealous about what pastors are getting from preaching the undiluted
word of God. Note that the prevalence of many pastors and their
prayers in the country is a treat to evil doers and they are not
comfortable in the country. Hence they wish that something should be
done to remove pastors who it seems are bent on causing them (evil
doers & sinners) some squalid distress spiritually.
In concluding this piece, my solemn conviction is that, no
christian will take this horus fabricated tail seriously because they
know the devil is finding all means to mislead believers including
that story of that truculent ogre called horus. No one will attempt to
simulate a Demi-god/fiend and attribute it to the supreme being as
suggested by the inveterate haters of Christianity because the two are
as opposite as chalk and cheese.
