Ron Paul Speaks On The Problems With The U.S. – Pakistan Relationship

The Hidden Story of Jesus
Video – Broadcast UK – Channel 4 – Dec 26, 2007
Theologian Dr Robert Beckford investigates amazing parallels to the Christ story in other faiths, some of them predating Christianity by thousands of years. The Hindu god, Krishna, was conceived by a virgin and his birth was attended by angels, wise men and shepherds. Buddha was also the result of a miraculous birth and visited by wise men bearing gifts. Beckford attempts to unravel the mystery of why there are so many versions of the Christ story across the world and asks which is the real one.
Even the Old Testament copied other stories. The story of Noah, for example, was lifted almost intact (complete with sending out birds to find land) from the far older Epic of Gilgamesh
