Religion - Just thought you should know 3 of 3

11. Easter, when we celebrate Jesus as risen from the grave, is celebrated on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the Vernal Equinox. It is a Spring time celebration of the rebirth of the Sun and the Sun overpowering the cold and darkness of Winter.


Pisces & the Christian Symbol of the Fish
Due to the earth's precession the Vernal Equinox gradually moved from Aries the ram to Pisces the fish sometime vaguely around 1 CE to 300 CE. (Since there are no well defined borders between the zodiac constellations there's no definitive date.) Hence the symbol of a fish, representing Pisces, became the symbol of Christianity, because the Sun was in Pisces, the fish, on the Vernal Equinox.

Sometimes the fish symbol has the Greek letters ΙΧΘΥΣ in it. This is just the Greek word for "fish" (see Strong's Greek #2486). Some people though have made use of the letters of the word as an acronym for a clever phrase.

The symbol of the fish is also found in the miter the Pope wears. (See the fish in the side view?)

As for Christ on the cross, the oldest artistic representations of the Christian cross depict a figure of a lamb (Aries). The practice of symbolising the saviour by a lamb continued until the Council of Constantinople (692 CE) under the pontificate of Agathon and during the reign of Constantine Pogonat. It was decreed that, instead of the ancient astrological symbol of Aries the lamb, all crosses depicted in art should be combined with the figure of Jesus. The retiring of the Lamb as the main Christian symbol, translated from the Latin, is as follows:

In the Roman Sotteranea of Antonio Bosio, concerning the image of Christ under the figure of a lamb:
In certain representations of the images of the saints, a lamb is portrayed. We, therefore, accepting the old forms and shadows as signs of the truth and as traditional symbols of the church, prefer Grace and Truth, which we accept as the fulfilment of the Lamb. So, that which is perfect, let us place in pictures, even before the eyes of all. We have decreed that the Lamb, which taketh away the sins of the world, Christ our God, ought to be portrayed henceforth in human form in place of the Lamb.
(Higgins, Anacalypsis, Vol.2, pp.111-112)

At first, Jesus was represented fully robed, standing calmly before the cross with outstretched arms. The lamb continued to be shown, usually at the foot of the cross. Later, the figure of Jesus was placed on the cross, undraped, bleeding and tortured by pain from wounds, as he is represented on crucifixes today. Pope Adrian I confirmed this point.1

12. Due to earth's precession the Sun is now in Pisces the fish on the Vernal Equinox.
[A fish is now the symbol of Christianity.]


Spring Calms the Storm
Autumn and Winter are the seasons for stormy weather. Around Spring time the storm season ends and we start having nice weather again. So when the Sun enters the constellation of spring time the storms calm.

soo why did the church change the birth of jesus, from april to dec? so you mean to say, the church is a bunch of zeitgiest? hehehe

[zerosum2012]

It's mind boggling that Christians don't even question the manipulation by the Roman Catholic church (the ones who brought you the "New Testament"), instead they chant "Jesus is the reason for the season" and drag dead trees in to their homes. Then they paint eggs given to them by an Easter "Bunny" to celebrate Jesus rise from the dead, WTF?!? Think people, Think! Yes it's WRONG, and if one part is thrown into question, it is now all open to scrutiny! (unless you are mindless) Peace...

i was born and raised on hindu folklores, and one of the many gods of our religion actually had a virgin birth, then was thrown in the river to avoid infanticide, was raised as a prince, and died when his friend betrayed him. Hmm.. sounds familiar!!!

@TheColaGoodfellow

Or, even I was to look at it from an atheist perspective, just because Harry Potter time travelled doesn't mean J K Rowling got the idea from Doctor Who.

What makes it worse is that it exaggerates facts and adds to and basically lies about the other stories, there's no other way you could become an atheist without being lied to by either yourself or someone else.

[TheColaGoodfellow]

Oh look, it's the zeitfail movie.

What next? "War - Just so you know." pointing out the similarities between WW1 and WW2 to prove that one is a rip off of the other just because they're both wars where Germany hated the rest of the world?

Seriously, how stupid can one get?

@lanos99se The evidences are so clear -  the writings from the bible are all authenticated and revealed truth over times. The power is real but the gratitude to the true source are not recognized!

The concept of holy comes from the Bible! Evolution writers often learned their writing craft through Judeo-Christian education that promoted literacy to begin with!
