Apollonius of Tyana and Jesus Christ

[killybob]

Many people think that Apollonius of Tyana challenges the unique story of our Lord, Jesus Christ. This is not true. Firstly, the accounts of Apollonius of Tyana were written well after the supposed life of Apollonius of Tyana. The Gospels were, on the other hand, written by eyewitnesses of Jesus's life. Therefore, logically speaking, it is the New Testament accounts that are far more reliable than those of Apollonius.

Philostratus (170 - 245 A.D.) is the only source for the accounts of Apollonius where the Bible is multi-sourced (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Paul, etc). There are strong evidence that many accounts of Apollonius were indeed borrowed from the Gospels.

I think you'll find that the story of Horus far better illustrates how unoriginal the story of Jesus (Jesus is wrong - Yeshua is his actual name. Out of respect for your "lord", you should at least get his name right) is, than the story of Apollonius of Tyana.
