Why would northern hemisphere astrology/mythology reference constellations only visible in the southern hemisphere? I'm not aware of the Southern Cross appearing in any ancient astrological source.

They knew about it some kind of way, because even in the Bible god shows the prophet the women crying over the dead sun (Ezekiel 8:14)During the winter solstice, the southern tip of the Earth faces the sun which for 3 days does not rise above 23 degrees 27 minutes.. It takes 3 days for the southern tip of the Earths to pass the sun as it moves towards the vernal equinox. So from the northern hemisphere, it looks like the sun is resurrecting after 3 days under the Earth. Sound familiar?

Is it not also interesting that the first 30 years of Jesus life are as obscure as the sign of Capricorn under which he was supposedly born. 30 years/30 days?

Like I said, just about everything we've been taught about Jesus was stolen from astrology.

I'm afraid that's not really true. You might want to reconsider your sources. They are not as credible as you might think.

I made several point. Exactly which of them is not true and on what do you base your assessment?

This is a false dilemma. Not every Christian believes that people go to hell. My wife has kept her religion while jettisoning the fear of hell.

Losty · October 7, 2015 at 11:47 pm

What does the 68% even come from?

**Cyberman** · October 7, 2015 at 11:57 pm

Yeah, it's a bit specific isn't it?

Emphasis is mine, I italicized the claim.....bold and ital the subsequent conclusion. That's a hell of a stretch, don't you think? There are plenty of things written in the first person that no human being has -ever- had any experience of. In fact, there's an entire genre......fiction.

War Of The Worlds springs to mind. The Martian invasion must have happened.

No it isn't because the entire gospel of Luke and Acts 1-12 is written in the third-person. So there is a very clear difference.
