Mithras and Christianity. CIMRM 2186. Mithras riding the bull. Sibiu Museum, Romania. See also Mithras and other gods. The idea of a relationship between early Christianity and the cultus of Mithras is based on a remark in the 2nd century Christian writer Justin Martyr, who accused the initiates of Mithras of imitating the Christian communion rite.1 Based upon this, Ernest Renan in 1882 set forth a vivid depiction of two rival religions: "if the growth of Christianity had been arrested by some mortal malady, the world would have been Mithraic. "2 But at the time that Renan wrote, before Cumont had collected the sources, very little was known about Mithras.3 In fact the two groups had different objectives, and the cult of Mithras did not aim at a universal role, even at the peak of its popularity.4 There is no evidence of direct influence in either direction between the cult of Mithras and early Christianity.5 1. 1.1.

The Land Of Havilah. A river flowed out of Eden to water the garden, and there it divided and became four rivers. The name of the first is the Pishon. It is the one that flowed around the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold. – Genesis 2:10-11 (ESV) Having taken a detour through the story of Cain and Abel, we now come back to our study of the lands listed in Genesis chapter 2 that surrounded the historical land of Eden. Yesterday we asked the question: Is there any direct Biblical evidence of the continuation of Abel’s line after he was murdered?
The Pishon River It’s noteworthy that the regions of Havilah and Kush are described in greater detail than the others in Genesis 2:10-11. This indicates Havilah and Kush were remote from Adam’s experience. Adam first describes the Pishon, a river that surrounded the land of Havilah. The word “Ur” is an ancient word that means “city.” The Land Of Abel The region associated with the Pishon, or the “Border River,” is Havilah. Genesis 2 KJV - Thus the heavens and the earth were - Bible Gateway. 2 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. 3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made. 4 These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens, 5 And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground. 6 But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground. 7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. 12 And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone.
