Horus came first (1000's of years before)
Jesus came in the year 4c
Answer Christ, it is claimed, existed before his incarnation; and Horus, it was claimed, existed even before the incarnation of his father. Christ when an infant was carried into Egypt to escape the wrath of Herod; Horus when an infant was carried out of Egypt to escape the wrath of Typhon.Trinity of Egypt was Osiris, Isis, and Horus. Even the Christian doctrine of a Trinity in Unity, was an Egyptian doctrine.
"For thirty centuries the Egyptians had been familiar with the conception of a triune God. There was hardly a city of any note without its particular triads. Here it was Amum, Maut, and Khonso; there Osiris, Isis, and Horus" (Intellectual Development,Vol. I, p. 191)
Additional Information:
Both Jesus and Horus were born Dec. 25, both were of virgins, both died and rose from the dead after three days.
AnswerThe Bible does not say that Jesus was born on Dec 25th and there is not Egyptian texts that gives the birth of Horus as Dec. 25th. A post Christian inscription mentions Horus being born in the winter solstice. The Bible does not say. Most theologians agree that Jesus was probably not born on Dec 25th. The Egyptians sometimes mixed two or more gods to create a completely new and different god, but had no concept of a godhead with three personalities. Isis was never a virgin, as the Pyramid texts will reveal. It contains a drawing of Isis and Osirus in various positions that leave nothing to the imagination.

Why is horus is important?
Horus is important because he is the sun god. Like Jesus he is the sun. The simularities between Horus and Jesus is uncanny. The whole born from the virgin Mary is the same as horus. Horus was born to the virgin Isis also known as Maria. Horus and Jesus are both born on 25th of December, were crucified, dead for three days and resurected. Jesus is the sun. We worship the sun. The sun of God.
What animal was Horus the Egyptian God depicted as?
Horus was a subset of the god Ra. Born of Isis, sometimes referred to as a virgin, Horus resembles many of the same story characteristics as that of Jesus in the Christian faith. Horus was the god of many things (clother of the naked, feeder of the poor, etc).
What was Osiris god of?
vegetation--he was the merciful judge of the dead, and died himself and was resurrected. He is known as the "Lord of love". Some think that the Osiris myth was absorbed into Christianity as Jesus. obviously this is false, as Jesus existed, and Osiris was a legendary myth.
Did Horus have 12 disciples?
AnswerAccording to the ancient Egyptians, Horus the sky god had twelve followers1, one for each sign of the zodiac. Some say that the twelve tribes of Israel were formulated on the twelve signs of the zodiac, and that this led to the twelve disciples of Jesus. The boat of Ra, who was later merged with Horus, was towed by twelve gods2. Though not mentioned as "disciples", they are his followers in that they follow him throughout his quest through the sky.Whether or not these gods are analogous to Jesus' disciples remains as yet unproven.________________________________1 Gerald Massey (Ancient Egypt, the Light of the World): "Pistis Sophia, in agreement with the Book of Hades shows how the twelve as followers of Horus were constituted as a company that consisted at first of seven to which the five were added in forming the group of twelve."2 E. A. Wallis Budge (Egyptian Heaven and Hell): "The Boat [of Afu-Ra] is now towed by twelve gods."
Is Christianity plagiarism of the ancient Egyptian religion?
Not at all. Some critics of Christianity have tried to draw parallels between osiris, Isis and so on and the Christian belief, but these silly speculations are akin to the beliefs that the Americans never went to the moon or Elvis is still alive and working in Walmart. There is so much evidence of the events that surround Christ, his teachings and his deeds. Not all of it is in the Bible, but much is also written by secular historians such as Pliny, Tacitus, Josephus and many more. The evidence all points to the jesus Christ of the Bible and not some made up copy of an Egyptian religion.

Iist parallels between Jesus and Greek god Attis and who came first?

Why is the story of Jesus the same as the story of Horus?
A:The New Testament was written in Greek, and its authors would therefore have been familiar with the cult of Horus. In addition, Keel and Uehlinger (Gods, Goddesses and Images of God in Ancient Israel) say that Horus is the best-documented foreign god in the onomasticon (derivation of personal names used on seals) of Israel and Judah from Iron Age II, but particularly Judah in the late monarchy. In Phoenicia the Egyptian deity most commonly represented on high quality scarabs was Isis, nursing the infant Horus, much like later representations of Mary and Jesus. Although these scarabs were not found in Judah, the onomasticon shows that Horus was worshipped there, and Judahites would have been familiar with the imagery. It is not impossible that Horus remained, at least culturally, part of Jewish religious thought into the first century CE. It is also very possible that similarities between Horus and Jesus are simply coincidences.
