I've missed the comment explaining the message of these images. . . . ? Jesus Christ stands on a Chi cross. Stephan has posted these images to illustrate the dawn of the Age of Pisces, the Chi Rho cross shape formed by the intersection of the zodiac, the equator and the first fish of Pisces in 21 A...

There is much that can be said (and has been said) about this but it all starts with this http://st-takla.org/books/en/ecf/201/2010036.html The official documents of the Roman government said 21 CE. The date has scholarly support cf. Vardaman. Also Schwartz's reconstruction of Josephus That site do...

21 CE was the official date of the crucifixion according to the Roman historical records. You don't need to do anything to the date. It was the date. The cross carried by Jesus is a "sign" in the truest sense of the chi in heaven. Just leave it alone. What is your source for this claim? I...

I know Acharya and her acolytes are oblivious to the significance of 21 CE that's why I am taking this seriously. They have figured out a way to fuck this up with their usual bullshit. Stephan, I have not managed to “fuck this up with bullshit”. Cosmic allegory in the Bible is a complex topic which...

It is literally impossible, so its origins deserve careful analysis. Ruling out magic, ... [] Your opening post starts with a dogmatic assumption. For me that would be more or less the same as someone writing "the bible being God's word the author of this text must be telling the truth". ...

You see Robert there is something of value in what you are saying (21 CE). I am very pleased that Stephan Huller sees that my observation that the equinox precessed into Pisces in 21 AD is important for science and theology. I want to focus on this constructive area of agreement, although I will al...

The position of the sun at the equinoxes moved into Pisces and Virgo, the star groups conventionally associated with loaves and fishes, in 21 AD. Why such precision? Did the ancients have the very same imaginary borders between constellations as we have today? Dating of the shift of the March equin...

I can't see any relationship between bread and the zodiac. The main star in the constellation Virgo is called Spica. Spica means the spike of wheat, the source of bread. The virgin is traditionally depicted with Spica representing an ear of wheat in her hand. The position of the sun at the equinoxe...

all you are engaging in is confirmation bias, and when I have demonstrated that your model of how time is conceptualized seasonally etc is cultural and local, not universal. This comment refers to an exchange at http://earlywritings.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=9836#p9836 It is worth extracting the re...

[Q] was no longer of interest once it had been incorporated into Matthew and Luke. If Q's contents had been taken over in their entirety in a more complete narrative like Matthew's or Luke's there was no more need for Q especially since since Q contained no interest in Jesus' death. Neil, here you ...
