Bible Question: Why does the Book of the Dead have so many similarities to the Bible (over 200) such as a virgin birth, a father, son, holy ghost, and even the ten commandments? I have a friend who asked me this and so I'm asking around to findn out if anyone else has answers (I'm also looking into the issue myself) |
Bible Answer: Hello acurrier, The reason that the Tibetan "Book of the Dead" may contain many similarities from the Bible, is most likley due to the fact they were taken from it! It's date of authorship is sometime in the 8th Century, by an Indian yogi. The complete canon of scripture- the Bible- had already been in existence for some 400 years. I hope this helps, BradK |
