Compare and contrast Egyptian polytheism with biblical truth. Include at least three differences.
following: (1) The Egyptians were polytheistic. Their gods were false
and were invented by man. The Bible teaches that there is only one true God. (2) The Egyptians believed
that, after death, they would be judged according to their works. If their works were good enough, they would
spend the afterlife in a place of peace. The Bible teaches that people’s souls will continue to live after death
and people will face judgment for how they lived their lives. The Bible teaches that no one will be declared
righteous before God on the basis of his or her own works. The Bible teaches that man’s eternal destiny
depends on his relationship with Jesus Christ. (3) The Egyptians believed that they could preserve their souls
and provide for them in the afterlife. Their burial practices were based on this belief. They believed it was
important to preserve the deceased body to preserve that person’s soul, but they did not believe that the body
would ever live again. The Bible teaches differently. The resurrection of Jesus from the dead guarantees that
all who put their trust in Him will one day be raised bodily from the dead and receive a new body like
Christ’s glorified body.
