Corrupted Salem teaching in ritual form, expectation of a returning Son = The dying-and-rising god pattern: Osiris, Tammuz, Attis, Adonis, Dionysus

The dying-and-rising god motif appears with remarkable persistence across the ancient Near East and Mediterranean: Osiris in Egypt, Tammuz/Dumuzi in Mesopotamia, Attis in Phrygia, Adonis in Syria, Dionysus in Greece. The UB identifies these consistently as degraded descendants of Salem missionary teaching, in which the original doctrine of salvation by faith in one God was progressively transformed into ritual reenactments of a sacrificed god whose resurrection was celebrated annually. The pattern is not prophecy of Christ, but downstream corruption of the same Salem seed, encountering and intermixing with pre-existing vegetation cults.
