Not according to the source I used. The writings of the hymns that mention Mithras were around 2nd through 6th century, long after Christ. Mithras does not show up in Roman religion until the end of the first century.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

Explain it to Justin Martyr writing in the First Aplogy c 160 AD.

Quote:that Jesus took bread, and when He had given thanks, said, "This do ye in remembrance of Me, this is My body;" and that, after the same manner, having taken the cup and given thanks, He said, "This is My blood;" and gave it to them alone. Which the wicked devils have imitated in the mysteries of Mithras, commanding the same thing to be done. For, that bread and a cup of water are placed with certain incantations in the mystic rites of one who is being initiated, you either know or can learn.

Except we have Plutarch telling us that Pompey's legions ran into Mithraism in the early first century BC during his campaign in the East and confirmed by Servilius showing that your godboy was johnny-come-lately to the big godfest going on.

If we had two such independent sources...or one even! .... for your jesus shit we would not have half the arguments we do.

GC, Mithras dates back to at least 1400 BCE.

Not with any real knowledge of what he was.

Your lack of knowledge is not the standard for much of anything.

Jesus also has simularities to Hercules.... AND Flavious Josephus mentions him in his writings so clearly ZEUS is real.....
Did I make a good point? thumbs up Smile I cant help it I'm a Kudos whore. P.S. Jesus is a MYTH.

Well, I am of the opinion Jesus is consubstantial - as our resident apologerette Azia might say with affected erudition - with hercules, Zeus, Horus, Mithras, Thor, and for that matter Satan, Pluto, Wile E Cayote, and Yosemite Sam.

Yosemite Sam at least is amusing.

But Wile. E makes for a better apologist.
