did you know that "jesus" is just a metaphor for the sun, derived from the phoenician/sumerian religion?

Question

the story of the "son" (or sun) dying on the cross is derived from ancient astral theology: the symbol for the zodiac is a circle on a cross (the circle represents the sun, the cross represents the four seasons). on the 22nd of december, the winter solstice occurs- this is the day the sun is out for the least amount of time (the sumerians considered it "dead") it rises on the same longitude for 2 days, and on the third day, it resumes it's cycle (or is born/re-born, after 3 days). 3 days after dec 22, of course is the day that jesus was supposedly born (christmas).

hence, the story of jesus being born on the 25th, and the story about jesus dying on the cross and being resurrected after three days.

sources: the research of jordan maxwell, michael tsarion, david icke, zecharia sitchin (and many others); the bible; numerous sumerian, phoenician, hebrew, tibetan, mayan, aztec, and just about any other ancient society's texts.

equivalent metaphors can be found in every major religion- all are derived from the same source

keep in mind- the sumerians pre-date jesus by thousands of years

Answer 1

While you are correct in what you say about understandings of the sun in ancient Mesopotamian culture, I think your conflation of these ancient myths with the story of Jesus is erroneous, in spite of the fact that you note some similarities.

A huge expanse of time, some 3500, years separates the Sumerian culture from the time of Christianity; as well, the ideas of Zoroastrianism and Mithraism, while in some ways suggest elements of Christianity, actually derive from different sources. For example, you trace the cross symbol from the zodiac to Christian symbology. A more accurate tracing of the cross symbol would show its development from Judaism into Christianity.

Why is Jesus birth thought to be December 25th? Early Christians believed that Jesus was crucified on 25 March (according to the Julian Calendar, that is). They also believe that this was the very same day that He was conceived in Mary's womb about thirty-four years earlier.

There are a number of sects that promote the idea that Easter and Christmas have pagan origins; however there are numerous recent writings that dispute this idea.

You list the research of several individuals who are not at all scholars and are involved in "conspiracy theory" journalism. So while they may have some interesting ideas, they are not Sumeriologists nor are they experts in the development of early Christianity, so use caution in how you read what they have to say.

Answer 2

the cross was derived from the ankh, the symbol of life, for ancient Egyptians.


i think that the bible is just a great big story book with fairy tales in it. but if you believe in it and it gives you hope or whatever, then that's fine, you go with the flow.

if there was a Jesus he was probably a priest or something like that who went about and was preaching at a time when the Romans were being especially cruel and oppressive. he was just a spark that started the fire, hence all the near impossible stories about him. he was probably a revolutionary. .. like our George Washington... .

Answer 3

u know until i started on this yahoo answers i thought most ppl believed in God and Jesus but i guess i was wrong, its really sad that as the time goes by ppl quit believing in things, i have seen Gods work with my own eyes, my son was dying when he was 6 weeks old, he kept bleeding rectally and lost 3/4 of his blood and he had what they called the death stare where his eyes was open but he really wasn't responding to anyone or anything, the doctors gave him 2 blood transfusions and me and my mother prayed and kept praying and all of a sudden his bleeding stopped and he was out of the hospital in 5 days and the doctors don't know what was wrong with him, couldn't find a thing wrong. u tell me if that wasn't God then what was it, i just don't understand ppl. if u pray to God u will believe because then he will reveal himself to u.heaven and hell are very real and ppl needs to wake up and realize this. its not some story book, if u read the bible then u will realize everything the bible says is happening or has happened. well thats all i have to say, hopefully some1 will read this and give my words some thought and at least open their minds a little. ty for taking the time to read.God bless u

Answer 4

at the time of jesus, ancient israel had a great deal of trade connections with the egyptians. the egyptians, as we all know, were one of the most advanced cultures ever and influenced the religious beliefs of virtually all cultures they came into contact with. this is, of course, why the story of jesus is so incredibly similar to the story of the egyptian sun god, Horus

Answer 5

Wow, you've read a lot! Have you also read this?

(Jesus) who is the image of the invisible GOD, the firstborn of every creature; for BY HIM WERE ALL THINGS CREATED, THAT ARE IN HEAVEN,AND THAT ARE IN THE EARTH, VISIBLE AND INVISIBLE, whether they be thrones or dominions or principalities or powers; all things were created by him, and for him; AND HE IS BEFORE ALL THINGS, AND BY HIM ALL THINGS CONSIST.

Consider this. The heavens (i.e. the signs of the zodiac in the stars . . . ) declare his righteousness!

Myths often are flavored by truth! The law of what comes first takes precedence here!

Answer 6

Yeah and there is no such thing as the outside world. These are all lies perpetrated by the man to keep the brother down. Why do you think they call it big brother. Also they have prefected mating donkeys and monkeys. This guy is a living testamonial to that..

Answer 7

I heard that once before. It's good to hear someone is actually looking into things rather than just trying to prove a Bible verse out of context doesn't hold up.

Answer 8

You are speaking of the sun god baal, an that is what has to do with the zodiac. We already know that Christmas has origins in paganism, and so do Catholics with idol worship. Everyone does not hold that belief.
