Whatever your beliefs about Jesus, the New Testament is of Hebrew/Jewish origin, with a Greek influence in the later writings, but thats mainly cultural.

I know there's alot of Babylonian/Mesomatian influence in the early parts of the Old Testament. Genesis is similar to the epic poem of Gilgamesh. I can't say I've heard of any Egyptian influence but I suppose it wouldn't be surprising since some of the Old Testament is suspected to have been written there.

I think all religious beliefs originated from the egyptians

You don't know what you're talking about.

I think its pretty idiotic to have a theory for which there exists no proof.

uh...the bible isnt Egyptian its from Hebrew, Greek origin...r u sure ur not thinkin of the dead sea scrolls
 

 Read topics closely.... Derived... I didn't say anything about it being written by Egyptians.



it was common at the time for different cultures to have similar creation stories. thats common knowledge, do some browsing and wikipediaing, no1s gonna go out of their way to give you an hours worth of reading

the greeks didnt write the dead sea scrolls, the land of judah (israel) was under greek rule at the time. a sect of biblical judaism known as the essenes wrote the dead sea scrolls

dont trust anything you read on lw, 99% of the time, the information is wrong
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Essenes" target="_top">http://http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Essenes


Did the Essenes have different beliefs from the community at Qumran?

I'm more along the lines that the Sumerians started religion by worshipping the sun and stars, cataloging their movements and such, and that supposedly from this worship, the sun and stars were later given human personifications and characteristics and transformed the worship, practice and Bible stories  into what we know it today.

It's not even a hypothesis, because there are counterexamples.
