Hercules was the son of Zeus, the almighty god of all gods, during that time. He sacrificed his life and became an immortal. But get this... before his finale, one of his first trials (of 12 Labours) was battling and defeating a lion.
Before David became king, he, too, defeated a lion.
One night, Hercules was cursed with an evil spirit that caused him to murder his wife and children. King Saul, David’s future father-in-law, was also cursed with an evil spirit.
Before Moses, the Hebrews grew up and were taught about the Greek gods. This was their religion from birth. They knew everything about Cronos, the Titans, Poseidon, Hades, Zeus, and his wife, Hera, who was also his sister. But if you compared Judaism (the root of Christianity and Islam) to Greek mythology, wowwie mowwie! This reminds me of today’s black culture changing history and telling the future generations, “Muh we were kangs and created the light bulb and engines and shiet.)
Though something bothers me about this ordeal more than Hebrews (future Jews) changing origin stories.
After the collapse of the Greek supremacy, the Roman Empire humiliated the almighty Zeus, the supreme god of the universe, to a planet called Jupiter. I would think such an insult would have angered Him to the point of wiping the Romans off the face of the planet before they ever expanded. Yet, this didn’t happen.
Interesting, huh?
However, there is a possibility that the stories of the Greek legends may have been prophecies yet to come. And not very bright people, the wealthy bullies, may have allowed their cursed children to translate the warnings that led to misinformation.
Faith is based upon knowledge. Faith is believing, yes? I have a tree that produces oranges, bananas, plums, and cherries. No one knows about this tree. But one day, I share this knowledge with you. You’ll laugh and tell me how ridiculous that sounds. “One tree can’t produce a variety of fruits,” you might say. But I convince you this tree is real. You believe me. Now you have faith because of the knowledge I shared with you.
Jesus was real. The impossibles he did scared the Hebrew ancestors. But his message was truth. Believing is the backbone of everything.
