Put down your fucking bible and learn.
Paul himself will have you know that "the gospel I preach is not man's gospel; for I did not receive it from any man nor was I taught it, but received it through revelation from Jesus Christ" (Galatians 1:11).
Three year ministry? Paul says "no". Solar deity? Malachi 4:2 says "yes": ...the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings...
How very interesting that the Sun of God is prophecized in such a way. The Gospels don't disappoint and such a "messiah" does spring up (no pun intended with the season there) who is baptised by John the Baptist and starts his ministry at 30 according to the Aquarius (the water bearer) Zodiac, which is at 30 degrees on the Zodiac and where John the Baptist can be seen in the night sky.
No wonder the pseudo-Pauline epistle to the Ephesian church states "In reading this, then, you will be able to understand my insight into the mystery of Christ, which was not made known to people in other generations as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to God’s holy apostles and prophets." (Ephesians 3:4,5). This is a reoccurring theme in the epistles where the mysteries of Christ Jesus were revealed through the Spirit and the prophets (OT), and never does a godman get any credit for his 3 year ministry. Poor old Jesus died for nothing it seems!
