Most major religions used astrology, including Christianity, because they are ancient religions, people didn't have TV to watch at night and calendars on their phones, and they helped them understand the cycles of nature. Thus, as Christianity teaches, understanding nature helps you understand the mind of God, who created it.
The wise men saw the astrological sign, came to Jesus and paid him homage as pagans, and left as pagans after being warned by God not to go back to Herod who would kill them. This in no way makes Christianity an astrological religion.
You're lost in the woods my man.
The 12 disciples = 12 constellations. Jesus is the Sun in the center that they travel around. The Dec 25th birth sequence is completely astrological and has been used by countless “Gods". The 3 stars that make up Orion's belt were called “the 3 kings" in ancient times. These stars align and point to the Eastern star that “they follow" And every year on Dec 25 point to the sunrise (Jesus). On Dec 22 the sun gets to it's lowest point in the sky. From Dec 22 to Dec 25, the sun stops moving south and stops for 3 days. Hence, it “died" for 3 days. And on and on....
You really think anything in the Bible is just happenstance? You think the numbers and references are just documented fact and not metaphors? The Ancients lived and breathed through metaphors and myths.
Do you really take the Bible literally? So Jesus actually walked on water and it's not just a metaphor for the sun that actually does "walk" on water? Is it a coincidence that we worship Jesus on [Sun]day? There are an endless number of books and seminars on this topic (Youtube "Astrotheology").
Christianity isn't special. Christianity is simply widespread thanks to the Roman Empire. The Roman Empire was extremely pagan. As long as you supported Caesar and paid taxes, the Roman Empire was happy to let you worship whatever. When the Roman Empire conquered a people, the Roman Empire would even adopt some of their customs to make their new peasants' subjugation more peaceful and productive. Religion was always a political tool.
“Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's” - Jesus
2024 translation: "Pay your taxes" - Jesus
12 apostles, not disciples. Jesus had many disciples, like Mary Magdeline, but only 12 apostles, which was his inner circle.
And there were 12 apostles to represent the 12 tribes of Israel, from the 12 sons of Joseph, who made it to the Promised Land.
What the fuck man, pick up a Bible. Everything you wrote after such a fundamental mistake like that isn't worth a pinch of salt.
You're trying to get me on a semantic issue? You know that's a sign you've lost the argument, correct?
Every apostle was a disciple, but not every disciple was an apostle.
But ok, let's pick up the King James Bible and look inside.
Matthew 10 And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.
Matthew 11 And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities.
Matthew 20:17 And Jesus going up to Jerusalem took the twelve disciples apart in the way, and said unto them,
Matthew 26 The disciples did as Jesus bade them, and made all ready for the paschal meal there. 20 When evening came, he sat down with his twelve disciples, 21 and, while they were at table, he said, Believe me, one of you is to betray me. 22 They were full of sorrow, and began to say, one after another, Lord, is it I?
I'm not trying to "get" you on anything. I'm pointing out holes in your theory so large a Ford truck could drive through them.
12 apostles, all named, all at the last supper, all to represent the 12 tribes of Israel, whereas Jesus had many, many disciples, only some of which we know the names of, like Lazarus. Nowhere in the text of anywhere in the Bible does anybody make any reference to the idea that the 12 apostles represent zodiac signs. It's lunacy, sheer lunacy.
