Egyptian roots of Christianity, both historically and spiritually. ( )
  MGadalla | May 7, 2017 |
Reading Moustafa Gadalla's series in order means that a foundation is built whereby topics dovetail neatly and set the stage for the next book; so those who have pursued Egyptian Divinities The All Who Are THE ONE may find it inevitable that the mentions of Christianity in that book lead inexorably to The Ancient Egyptian Roots of Christianity, which offers a more in-depth discussion of a topic touched upon in prior books.
Of all the books in the series so far, this one is certain to spark the most discussion and controversy, because it refutes many popular myths about Christianity's origins and connections and directly ties ancient Egyptian mysticism and beliefs to Christianity's belief system. This is evident in the opening salvo to what likely will be a series of revelations to most Western readers: "The very thing that is now called the Christian religion was already in existence in Ancient Egypt, long before the adoption of the New Testament."
As chapters make their points and provide evidence for their contentions, close attention is given to providing the kinds of linguistic backgrounds, historical references, and archaeological proof that backs these ideas: "In some Talmudic passages, Jesus is named Ben Pandira, meaning the son of Pandira. Pandira is a corrupt Hebrew form of an Ancient Egyptian term. The Hebrew Pa-ndi-ra, in its original form, is Pantr-ra (pronounced Pa-neter-ra). Ben means son. Ben Pandira, as such, means Son of God [Son of the neter (god) Ra]. All Egyptian kings, since ca. 3000 BCE had the title, Son of Ra. Thus, Ben Pandira (Son of Ra) identifies Jesus as an Egyptian king. The title, Son of Ra, is engraved on Twt/TutAnkh-Amen’s stele, which was found in the Karnak Temple in 1905."
From Biblical creation stories that have misrepresented their true origins ("This biblical verse is badly mutilated Ancient Egyptian cosmology. We will explain this stage of creation in the Ancient Egyptian coherent way.") to source materials of ancient Egyptian and Christian writings which receive a different kind of inspection, this book offers many startling ideas that deserve further discussion, debate, and study.
For this reason, more so than his preceding books in the series, The Ancient Egyptian Roots of Christianity is especially recommended for Christian studies readers who would more closely examine and consider the origins of their belief systems.

Book description
Egyptian roots of Christianity, both historically and spiritually.

This book reveals the Ancient Egyptian roots of Christianity, both historically and spiritually. This Expanded Version of the book consists of three parts to coincide with the terms of trinity. The first part demonstrates that the major biblical ancestors of the biblical Jesus are all Ancient Egyptian prominent characters. The second part demonstrates that the accounts of the “historical Jesus” are based entirely on the life and death of the Egyptian Pharaoh, Twt/Tut-Ankh-Amen. The third part demonstrates that the “Jesus of Faith” and the Christian tenets are all Egyptian in origin—such as the essence of the teachings/message, the creation of the universe and man (according to the Book of Genesis), as well as the religious holidays.

The very thing that is now called the Christian religion was already in existence in Ancient Egypt, long before the adoption of the New Testament. The British Egyptologist, Sir E. A. Wallis Budge, wrote in his book, The Gods of the Egyptians [1969],

"The new religion (Christianity) which was preached there by St. Mark and his immediate followers, in all essentials so closely resembled that which was the outcome of the worship of Osiris, Isis, and Horus."

The similarities, noted by Budge and everyone who has compared the Egyptian Osiris/Isis/ Horus allegory to the Gospel story, are striking. Both accounts are practically the same, e.g. the supernatural conception, the divine birth, the struggles against the enemy in the wilderness, and the resurrection from the dead to eternal life. The main difference between the “two versions”, is that the Gospel tale is considered historical and the Osiris/Isis/Horus cycle is an allegory. The spiritual message of the Ancient Egyptian Osiris/Isis/Horus allegory and the Christian revelation is exactly the same.

The British scholar A.N. Wilson pointed out in his book, Jesus:

"The Jesus of History and the Christ of Faith are two separate beings, with very different stories. It is difficult enough to reconstruct the first, and in the attempt we are likely to do irreparable harm to the second."

This book will demonstrate that the “Jesus of History”, the ”Jesus of Faith”, and the tenets of Christianity are all Ancient Egyptian. This will be done without causing any “irreparable harm” as per A.N. Wilson’s concern, for two main reasons: Firstly, the truth must be told. Secondly, explaining Christian tenets via their original Ancient Egyptian contexts will enhance the idealism of Christianity.

This Edition of the book consists of three parts to coincide with the terms of trinity—the Three that are Two that are One.

The first part demonstrates that the major biblical ancestors of the biblical Jesus are all Ancient Egyptian prominent individuals.

The second part demonstrates that the accounts of the “historical Jesus” are based entirely on the life and death of the Egyptian Pharaoh, Twt/Tut- Ankh-Amen.

The third part demonstrates that the “Jesus of Faith” and the Christian tenets are all Egyptian in origin—such as the essence of the teachings/message, the creation of the universe and man (according to the Book of Genesis), as well as the religious holidays.

There is an undeniable irony and a profound, deep, undeniable truth in Hosea’s prophetic saying, "Out of Egypt have I called my Son". A deep irony indeed.

Let us open our minds and review the available evidence. For the truth is a composite of different and complementary pieces of a puzzle. Let us put the pieces in the right location, time and order.
