One of the claims that is sometimes heard about Jesus Christ is that He really was just another itinerant preacher in Judea, a backwater Middle Eastern nation, whose disciples copied certain attributes from a bunch of pagan deities and then claimed He was God.

Well, if you aren’t already familiar with ancient pagan deities or Jesus, that claim might sound pretty convincing.

Wallace explains in the following video why the claim Jesus is merely a “copy-cat savior” based on other pagan deities is, to be diplomatic, a historically inaccurate bunch of bunk.
