[Da’ T.R.U.T.H., Ravi Zacharias - Copycat Interlude lyrics]
I remember when I was in
My western civilization class
I struggled junior year college
Because it was the first time I was exposed
To the deluge stories and that was the
First time I was exposed to greek
Mythological stories that has predated the
Biblical historical creation accounts
I literally I wrestled I closed my Bible
I just wrestled with God in prayer
For weeks a close friend of mine just
Recently you know started questioning and
Even defected from the faith again here we
Had this copycat religion how has christian
How christianity just copied the religions of
Old you know where osiris, horus and all
Osiris you know had a
Cursory glance seemingly
Identical to the father and the son
So anyway I just wanted you to speak to
The whole idea of you know christianity being
A copycat religion or plagiarizing stories
From ancient text or whatever
So people who say these stories
Are all plagiarized ought
To read a little bit of CS Lewis
Who was an expert in mythology and he says
When I read mythology I know it’s mythology
So you talk about osiris and all he said when
I'm reading history I know
I'm reading history
So you take fifteen hundred years before
Jesus the prophetic schema you take
The book of Daniel from Daniel eight
To eleven the specific prophecies
Of the kingdoms that we going to
Come ultimately to Greece and
The division of Greece into fall
The blending into two of
Into the emergence into the Roman empire it’s
Not mythology this is specific pre-written
Prophecy in history so exact you see
So these are the stories
That I think the Bible is the
Book of history it’s just a
Very reckless and uh pardon my using
The word a sophomoric dismissal
Of the historic facts of the christian faith
My western civilization class
I struggled junior year college
Because it was the first time I was exposed
To the deluge stories and that was the
First time I was exposed to greek
Mythological stories that has predated the
Biblical historical creation accounts
I literally I wrestled I closed my Bible
I just wrestled with God in prayer
For weeks a close friend of mine just
Recently you know started questioning and
Even defected from the faith again here we
Had this copycat religion how has christian
How christianity just copied the religions of
Old you know where osiris, horus and all
