Teaching is the Christianity of the Bible or Plato?
The World Book Encyclopedia, Britannica, and all reference materials reputable track teaching of Christianity and pagan Greek philosopher Plato. Among these Platonic idea grafted into the "church" teachings are: (a) of the Trinity, and (b) the fire of hell. The Bible says there is one true God (Jehovah) and Christ is the worshiper of Jehovah. Read John 20:27, John 14:28; 1Corin 11:3. Furthermore, the Bible says the dead know nothing. A dead man returns to dust, not an imaginary place or condition. (Ecclesiastes 9:5) Even Jesus said anyone - those born before him, including Abraham, Moses, etc - have gone to heaven. (John 3:13) So, how refute these materials. Say, they are wrong? But really, how? John 20:17 (I / O John 20:27)
Not all the teachings of Christianity are of Plato. Certainly, the Christian idea of hell seems to have a Greek origin in it. The word itself comes from the Germanic, Hel, which originally meant "to cover". In rabbinic Judaism, the closest thing to hell is Hell, and that's more along the lines of a purgatory, a place of punishment. teachings of Christ from "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" and "it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter Heaven," have Buddhist connotations. (See the second appeal). The resurrection of Christ has a similar theme to the crucifixion of Mithras and the crucifixion of Odin Yggdrasil. Its revival also has a handful of Dionysus and the Renaissance (ie Dionysus, born twice). And I think there is a Hindu god that looks similar the Trinity of the Christian God, although I'm not so sure. Whether the similarities are coincidences or not is another issue altogether. However, there are similarities, and not hard to imagine that borrowed elements of Christianity to the religions that subverted. After all, the Christian image of Satan with horns on his head comes attempts by the church to demonize the pagan god PAN. And Lucifer? That is a Latin name of the Star of Dawn, which, in Isaiah 14:12-17, presumably, thinks that talk about Satan. However, if you look at the original context, you see that the original name used in place of the Star of Dawn, was Helel, which is the name of a Canaanite god, who happened to try to usurp the throne of heaven, but was released as a punishment. Therefore, many of the teachings of Christianity from other cultures, not just Plato.
