نقرا ما قاله يوستينوس في The First Appology
CHAP. XXI.—ANALOGIES TO THE HISTORY OF CHRIST.
And when we say also that the Word, who is the first-birth of God, was produced without sexualunion,
and that He, Jesus Christ, our Teacher, was crucified and died, and rose again, and ascendedinto heaven, we propound nothing different from what you believe regarding those whom youesteem sons of Jupiter. For you know how many sons your esteemed writers ascribed to Jupiter:Mercury, the interpreting word and teacher of all; AEsculapius, who, though he was a greatphysician, was struck by a thunderbolt, and so ascended to heaven; and Bacchus too, after he hadbeen torn limb from limb; and Hercules, when he had committed himself to the flames to escape histoils; and the sons of Leda, and Dioscuri; and Perseus, son of Danae; and Bellerophon, who, thoughsprung from mortals, rose to heaven on the horse Pegasus. For what shall I say of Ariadne, andthose who, like her, have been declared to be set among the stars? And what of the emperors whodie among yourselves, whom you deem worthy of deification, and in whose behalf you producesome one who swears he has seen the burning Caesar rise to heaven from the funeral pyre? Andwhat kind of deeds are recorded of each of these reputed sons of Jupiter, it is needless to tell tothose who already know.
This only shall be said, that they are written for the advantage andencouragement(2) of youthful scholars; for all reckon it an honourable thing to imitate the gods. Butfar be such a thought concerning the gods from every well-conditioned soul, as to believe thatJupiter himself, the governor and creator of all things, was both a parricide and the son of aparricide, and that being overcome by the love of base and shameful pleasures, he came in toGanymede and those many women whom he had violated and that his sons did like actions.
But, aswe said above, wicked devils perpetrated these things
. And we have learned that those only aredeified who have lived near to God in holiness and virtue; and we believe that those who livewickedly and do not repent are punished in everlasting fire.
CHAP. XXII.—ANALOGIES TO THE SONSHIP OF CHRIST
.
And if we even affirm
that He was born of a virgin, accept this in common with what you accept of Ferseus.
And in that
we say that He made whole the lame, the paralytic, and those born blind, we seem to say what is
very similar to the deeds said to have been done by AEsculapius.
CHAP. XXIII.—THE ARGUMENT.
and (thirdly) that before He became a man among men,
some
influenced by the demons before mentioned, related beforehand, through the instrumentality of the
poets, those circumstances as having really happened, which, having fictitiously devised, they
narrated,
in the same manner as they have caused to be fabricated the scandalous reports against us
of infamous and impious actions,(1) of which there is neither witness nor proof—we shall bring
forward the following proof.

هنا نجد ان القديس يوستينوس يعترف صراحة:
بان هناك مشابهة حقيقية بين جوهر الديانة النصرانية و بين الديانات الرومانية الوثنية بل و يعدد اوجه التشابه بين قصة المسيح عليه الصلاة و السلام حسب الاناجيل وبين اعتقادات الرومان في الهتهم بل و يزيد الطين بلة اذ يبرر ويرجع سبب هذا التشابه الى ان الشياطين قبل تجسد المسيح عليه الصلاة و السلام اخترعوا هذه القصص في الديانات الوثنية على السنة الشعراء الوثنيين و جعلوها متشابهة بقصد مع ما سيقع في حياة المسيح عليه الصلاة و السلام ليضللوا الناس و يخدعونهم !!!!!!
طبعا لا حاجة لنا للرد على مثل هذا التبرير لانه ترقيع بكل ما تحمله كلمة ترقيع من معنى لانه ليس مبنيا على اي دليل غير الظن و الخيال النابع من الرغبة المستميتة في دفع هذه الشبهة القاتلة !!!
