You're making silly requests now. I'm saying it's an allegory and you're saying "Tell me where the Bible explicitly states it's an allegory." Do you see the problem with your logic? Do I really need to spell it out for you? "Explicit" and "allegory" are opposites.
I've already proven my case. You can't explain the Pisces references, the Aquarius references or anything else. There are 12 constellations and a Sun. Jesus represents the Sun in the age of Pisces (explain all the fish symbols!), I've proven that. It's not a huge leap to show that the 12 apostles are the constellations. They didn't pick the number 12 out of their ass. Every number means something. Numerology was a BIG deal in the ancient world.
All the other 12s you mention only strengthen my case. 12 is a symbol! For what? The oldest 12 symbol is the 12 constellations. The constellations were there from the beginning, before the tribes, before the gates...etc.
The Bible is a work of literature. It's like Lord of The Rings where the ring represents unchecked power, temptation and corruption. That's what made Lord of The Rings a book that held up over time. That whole book is an allegory. If it was just about a round object that goes on your finger, we wouldn't give a shit. We like stories that symbolize the human condition because they resonate with us at a deep level. You don't have to explicitly state what you're trying to convey, because that turns it into a dry textbook.
Our ancestors passed everything down to us in story form. Why? Because stories allow us to convey complex ideas, are easy to remember and cement into our subconscious. So our ancestors taught how to behave, at all levels of our lives, through story form. It's a primitive technology that started verbally and, as technology advanced, became written down.
You can't study Christianity in a vacuum, as though it popped out of nowhere. There are thousands of years of historical context that you need to learn. Also, the Bible has been heavily, heavily edited by those in power. So, if there were even more explicit astrological references, we wouldn't know.
Dude, I pointed out explicit text backing up exactly what I was saying. You've not done that. That leaves you wasting my time and yours.
Happy Easter, by the way.
I already used text to show clear astrological references. I don't need the Bible to "explicitly" say "The Bible uses astrological references" to prove that the bible uses astrological references. That's silly. It also shows how much you've had to move the goalposts.
Why are you still here. Go home.
