An excellent example of missing the forest for the trees.  Of course they aren't going to match up 100%.  What did you expect?  If they matched up 100%, they would then be worshiping or venerating those specific figures.  D'oh!
Seriously Jor-ge? You be slipp'n.

Let's look at what Kitan said:
(March 21, 2016 at 2:09 am)Kitan Wrote: Studies in religious history shows that Christianity is first and foremost the last in the Judeo-Christian line.

Meaning that Christianity is the newest monotheistic god religion today.

Before monotheism became popular with society, there were around sixteen cultures that believed in the same characteristics in a god figure that Christianity describes in Jesus.

"studies have shown:"

Last in the Line Of Judeo Christian religions.. Which I believe the term 'Kite' was going for was "Judaicly based religions" Which as pointed out by the OP Islam supposedly is.

Then she/he made the claim it was the Newest Monotheistic religion: which again is false as Islam is several hundred years newer.

Then finally her/his third point was to claim 16 cultures (then shifted to 10) that believe in the Same Characteristics that Christianity ascribes to Jesus. First and foremost Jesus is God. There is only one God as per the Bible that Teaches us about Jesus. therefore the primary attribute of Christ lays claim that He is a monotheistic deity.

Me pointing out that none of the gods on that list are monotheistic in nature (or not even a god) sets Christ miles apart from any thing else anyone wants to ascribe to his nature. This is Kitan's 3rd and final failure. Now that said if you wish to discuss the over exaggerated comparisons that were made on the blogger site.. then bring up the ones you wish to discuss. We can shoot them down one at a time as well.
