better they would be thinking that this pagan ceremony is similar to Christianity in Revelation 7:4. References to this practice also postdate Christian sources.

A final error in the thinking of skeptics who pose this challenge is that Christianity actually copied mythology when it is very likely it is the other way round. One has to understand that Christianity was explosive and even Decius in AD 249 when he was the Roman Emperor seen that the pagan cults were diminishing and started to force the Christians to sacrifice to their pagan gods, this actually started a great persecution of Christians. This would indicate that pagan cults adopted Christian teaching to try and win back coverts to Christianity.

Though many people write that Christianity copied pagan myths to try and present their gospel story the tide is changing in scholarly circles. A primary reason why these mystery religions died out is because Christianity taught and proclaimed a real living person in history, the mythology of the mystery religions just could not compete.
