The Church Covered This up! | MythVision Documentary

Christianity, a faith embraced by over 2.4 billion people globally, has its roots deeply intertwined with the life and teachings of Jesus. However, many followers, often raised within the faith, may not have delved into its historical origins. Traditionally, researchers have primarily focused on Jewish influences in the formation of Christianity. Yet, this perspective overlooks the significant impact of the Roman world, a civilization rich with a plethora of deities and diverse cultural influences, on the development of this religion. In our documentary, we embark on a fascinating journey to explore the true genesis of Christianity. We'll delve into its foundational texts and uncover the substantial influence of Greek and Roman culture and mythology on the core narratives of this globally practiced religion. The clear connections to the Greek heroes and the Caesars as competition with the early Christian cult is undeniable. Prepare to embark on an enlightening journey that will redefine your understanding of Christianity's beginnings! Grab a copy of Dr. Richard C.
