I see no problem with the video. People should be free to believe whatever they choose. I also believe in the 1st Amendment's Right to free speech. However, since YouTube seems to be owned and operated by a private entity and is not technically public domain, I also support their right to ban any material that they see unfit for their objectives. It's the same as if Graybeard wants to delete a post that he sees as unfit for this forum. It's his house and he has the right to control it however he sees fit.

I clearly see it as an attack on Christ.  Although I am aware that there are various mythological gods, such as Horus, that embodied what people in those days thought god was, Jesus Christ does not follow that same pattern.  First of all, He was born in the fall (September/October), not on December 25.  I do agree that Christians who celebrate Christ's birth on Dec. 25 are simply following the pagan traditions.  Those traditions have been Christianized and nationalized.  The Christmas tree, the wreath, the colors green and red, and many other things that we associate with Christmas has nothing to do with the actual birth of Christ, and I might add are not found anywhere in the Scriptures. 

If it's actually true that many of these mythological gods were said to be born of a virgin, taught in the temple at 12 years of age, was baptized at age 30, was crucified at 33, and rose again three days after, then there would have to be very clear prophesies in the Scriptures that depicted these things SO THAT Satan could emulate it to confuse people.  However, I don't believe this is true because I don't think there are any Scriptures before maybe 1000 BC that clearly prophesy this story.  That means that Satan had nothing to go by with which to emulate, especially not as early as 3000 BC.  However, if Satan was simply following the constellations and some message they told, he still wouldn't get it all right.  Plus, like I already stated, Jesus, was not born on December 25.  Also, I think the historical practice of crucifixion doesn't go back further than about the 6th century BC.     

And of course, Jesus actually did walk this earth.  That is very well documented.  He was actually crucified.  He did actually die.  And most importantly, He did actually rise again after three days.  After His resurrection He walked and talked with people for a period of time before ascending into heaven.  This is all documented.  People better be careful what they believe because the day will come when everybody will bow to the lordship of Christ, whether they like it or not.

The Bible teaches that there is only one Satan, and I don't think that there are any examples in the Scriptures of Satan being able to focus his attack before God made His plan known well enough for a 'focusing' to take place (if that makes any sense). 

The Muslims and Jews both believe that Jesus was real, but that He was only a man (prophet). 

The reason I feel that the video is 'anti-Christ' is that it puts Christ on the same level as Horus and all the other gods.  And, at the end of the video, the narrator says something about believing that Jesus was god's sun, instead of son.  So, I see that as a fairly blatant attempt.  Actually, this is nothing new, as the main problem most non-Christians have with Christ is that the Scriptures say that He is the ONLY way, not just one of many possible ways.  Most people find that very offensive.     




I don't know if evil forces (satan) need to read mythology/history in a book; but he/they intrinsicly pick up on the zeitgeist of the time....even creating the zeitgeist. Truth transcends all of this phantasmagoria.

And Christians, Judaeo-Christians, Islamics believe that Christ was real and enlightened of God, or a Prophet.  I believe that jews do not ascribe any special significance to him and question if he actually existed in some of their extremist sects.

I didn't get that the video was anti-Christ, but alludes to many manifestations of Truth through prophet symbols. It is ashame that all this gets poisoned by the satans in this world.
