I do not know anything about a zitgeist? The sun has 12 signs of the zodiac Jesus has 12 apostles. Jesus's journey parallels the suns journey through the zodiac it is fact and easy to see for those not blinded by bias. Sun is reborn on Dec 25Th 3 days after the winter solstice, Jesus celebrated birthday is Dec 25Th. So the birth of the sun on its journey is the same as Jesus' That is the zodiac sign of Capricorn. The first stop for the sun is Aquarius the water bearer Jesus meets the water bearer John the Baptist. The sun then goes through Pisces the two fish Jesus meets two fisherman and feeds the many with guess what? Fish Next for the suns journey is Aries the ram. already covered briefly Taurus is next there is sacrificial symbolism of Taurus and Jesus speaks of sacrifice. Gemini, The sun goes into Gemini the twins Castor and Pollux The new testament mentions Castor and Pollux right in line with the parallel Coincidence again? Cancer Summer is coming which means darkness lie on the other side for the sun after the summer solstice the sun begins its decline same as Jesus. Leo is very interesting because John the baptist was dead and now he is resurrected funny how Aquarius the zodiac sign is now able to be seen in the horizon after it has been "dead" below the horizon. Coincidence? I think not. Virgo a triumphant time it is the harvest time and Jesus has a triumphant entrance into Jerusalem. Mark 11:1-11; Matthew 21:1-11; Luke 19:28-44; John 12:12-16). http://jesusastrotheology.com/tracin...sus_story3.htm Starts in Aquarius and towards the bottom of each page it continues. It is very long and detailed. One must know astrology and the zodiac which is explained. There is no question Jesus is simply an allegorical story of the sun through the zodiac too many coincidences for it not to be. |

VoR, it looks like the author of the article you linked to, Craig Lyons, has ripped off (or at least, been heavily influenced by) Acharya S, who covers much the same ground. You should check out her books, <delete> This is from her "The Christ Conspiracy", letting the facts speak for themselves:
So don't let the nay-sayers get to you! (ETA) I love her point: The sun triumphantly "rides an ass and her foal" into the "City of peace" when it enters the sign of Cancer, which contains two stars called "little asses" and reaches its fullness."Enters the sign of Cancer containing two stars called "little asses" and reaches its fullness"? The mind boggles! |

And here is another incredible parallel found by Acharya: Hercules carrying a cross! Personally I think it looks like he is carrying two stone pillars, cause that has to be one uncomfortable way of carrying a cross:

In the link I provided he talks about how Rome literalized the gospels before that it was a sun myth The word "Galilee" literally means circuit. Jesus goes into Galilee Tertullian has a few quotes in the links about worshiping the sun. I cannot find the Tertullian quotes but they are in one of the many pages of work in the link I provided. So many parallels I am convinced that Jesus is merely the personification of the sun going through the zodiac it is crystal clear. |

You remind me of people of antiquity who argued about Mythological entities as if they were real. |

Yet not focusing on the fact the sun was worshipped heavily in previous civilizations, and these same people did in fact migrate to Israel bring in some influence to ancient hebrews forming religion. But the buck stops there. While a slight background does exist, it was not worshipped heavily and has always as time went by lessened. That is evident in all written knowledge we have of sun deities and their worship There is almost nothing by the time we get to the NT as far as sun worshipping cults in judaism. the fact people lived by and around the sun doesnt have any connection to a poor poverty stricken illiterate Galilean teacher/healer |

http://www.earlychristianwritings.co...tullian06.html Others, with greater regard to good manners, it must be confessed, suppose that the sun is the god of the Christians, because it is a well-known fact that we pray towards the east, or because we make Sunday a day of festivity. What then? Do you do less than this? Do not many among you, with an affectation of sometimes worshipping the heavenly bodies likewise, move your lips in the direction of the sunrise? It is you, at all events, who have even admitted the sun into the calendar of the week; and you have selected its day, in preference to the preceding day as the most suitable in the week for either an entire abstinence from the bath, or for its postponement until the evening, or for taking rest and for banqueting. By resorting to these customs, you deliberately deviate from your own religious rites to those of strangers. For the Jewish feasts an the Sabbath and "the Purification," and Jewish also are the ceremonies of the lamps, and the fasts of unleavened bread, and the "littoral prayers," all which institutions and practices are of course foreign from your gods. Wherefore, that I may return from this digression, you who reproach us with the sun and Sunday should consider your proximity to us. We are not far off from your Saturn and your days of rest.And from Tertullian's Apology: http://www.earlychristianwritings.co...tullian01.html Others, again, certainly with more information and greater verisimilitude, believe that the sun is our god. We shall be counted Persians perhaps, though we do not worship the orb of day painted on a piece of linen cloth, having himself everywhere in his own disk. The idea no doubt has originated from our being known to turn to the east in prayer. But you, many of you, also under pretence sometimes of worshipping the heavenly bodies, move your lips in the direction of the sunrise. In the same way, if we devote Sun-day to rejoicing, from a far different reason than Sun-worship, we have some resemblance to those of you who devote the day of Saturn to ease and luxury, though they too go far away from Jewish ways, of which indeed they are ignorant. |
