Yes indeed ‘…early Christian texts from the Nile Valley, occasionally appealed to, ’Jesus, the Holy Spirit and Ra’. This is not because the ‘solar cult was so embedded in Egyptian consciousness’ as claimed in the book ‘Tutankhamun’s Trumpet by Toby Wilkinson. Positing all religion as a human invention, this same theory is held by the vast majority of religious scholars.
This is an example of Historical Truth Misrepresented. It is taken out of context and far removed from its original devotional significance. In fact the earliest Christians practiced the most authentic form of Christianity. Thus they Recognized ‘Jesus, the Holy Spirit & Ra’ as ONE & the SAME!
On the other hand scholars condemn these same early Christians of Egypt as ‘iconoclastic, library & pagan temple burning, heresy-hunting fanatics’. Yet somehow these same ‘fanatics’ casually added the name of Ra, an allegedly ‘pagan’ deity, into their most sacred invocations?
Mundane Scholars Identify Jesus, Ra, Rama, Helios, Apollo, Aten, Vishnu, Quetzalcoatl, Viracocha and basically Every Form of God as a mere ‘Solar Deity’. These Scholars also claim that the Sudarshan Disc, the Cross and the Swastika are all Animistic Solar Emblems.
In fact, the Sun is just one of Billions! The Sun, the Moon and the entire creation are all but ‘Small Sparks of the Splendor’ of God.
