Did Christianity Steal from Pagan Religions?

by Erik Borlaug

Did Christianity steal its ideas from pagan religions? Skeptics often claim that the story of Jesus—His virgin birth, His miracles, even His resurrection—was borrowed from earlier myths about “dying and rising gods.” But is that really true? In this video, Erik Borlaug examines the claim that Christianity is merely a copycat religion. He explores what critics like Celsus said nearly 2,000 years ago, examines the so-called parallels between Jesus and pagan gods, and explains why those comparisons don’t hold up when you dig into the details.
