why don't christians realize their beliefs are based on astrotheology?

Question

not beliefs, but myths

Answer 1

The Christ Conspiracy
or
Suns of God
both by Acharya S are not bad places to start.

There's "The Naked Truth" video on Google Video which is a good intro to.

When Christians are up against one of the most sophisticated and successful forms of people control ever invented and they are targeted from the moment they enter this world can you really blame them?

Google also has good David Icke and Jordan Maxwell videos plus a host of other conspiracy theorists who expose the rampant sophistry of the criminal elite.

But viewer beware, recall that Zion in The Matrix was just another level of control. Who wants you to believe there is an evil cabal of masonic reptilian aliens ruling the world and why?

Answer 2

All religions are the product of prior mythological believes, the first mythologies claimed the stars as the place were supernatural beings would reside. In time people were able to explain that the stars were clearly not a place for these supernatural beings and so conceived a more distant and undefined environment for their deities to reside. That is the situation for Christian beliefs today. Since all religions/mythologies have a common ancestor and this almost by force includes astronomical bodies and beliefs associated with them, they are all based on Astrotheology.

ps. The correct word for Astrotheology is Astrology.

Answer 3

Because there is no evidence to say their beliefs are based on astrotheology. Would you mind providing the answerers with some evidence of your own?

Answer 4

I think that you mean "astrology". Well, why should we realize that? Were is your proof or logical analysis? I see nothing in common between Christianity and astrology.

I don't know if this answers your question or not, but one of the main reasons that I believe in Christianity is that the people who knew Jesus were willing to be tortured to death rather than change their story that they saw Jesus return from the dead.

If the apostles were lying about seeing the resurrected Christ, then why didn't they take back their story when they were individually being tortured to death? Every one of the apostles (Except John, who died a natural death in exile on Patmos), were killed for their faith. Wouldn't a liar recant this story to save his own life?

What did the apostles have to gain by making it all up? What good does power, control or fame do for a dead person?

I accept the apostles' story because the witnesses were creditable.

PS: Yes, I have heard the crack about suicide bombers, but the main difference between the modern bombers & the apostles are: (1) the bombers did not see Mommand personally, so they are not eye-witnesses to anything (Unlike Peter, & Paul, who claimed to see Jesus alive with their own eyes and then died rather than take it back); and, (2) the bombers are killing innocent people (others) for their faith, not suffering for it (I assume that blowing yourself up is quick & painless compared with being crucified.).

Answer 5

Astrotheology

\As`tro*the*ol"o*gy\, n. [Astro- + theology.] Theology founded on observation or knowledge of the celestial bodies. --Derham.


ummm...
Do you mean that the first people to know about the King of Heaven's birth saw it in the stars? Could you be talking about the magi, who followed a star to the place where the Son of God was born?

Answer 6

Most folks don't seem to realize you have a lot of different groups naming themselves christians but they are really different. (for example a Roman Catholic has different beliefs than the Jehovah Witness but both are calling themselves christians) The faith of Biblical christians isn't based on astro-theology but in Jesus-Christ, the most wonderful person actually existing.

Answer 7

Who or what put that ridiculous idea in your head. My belief is based on the Holy Bible. And before you start preaching to me about freedom of speech, remember, we Christians have the same freedoms.

Answer 8

Because they aren't. People read Christianity into the Zodiac. You can't get Christianity out of the Zodiac.

Answer 9

Are you referring to the ancient Greek description of the stars? They believed that since the stars were beyond their reach that this was where the deities resided. Modern Christianity may have its origins there because Heaven is still considered somewhere in the cosmos, and not reachable by extant humans.

If not, please explain

Answer 10

Astroltheology is based on evil desires. Finito
