Let's look at this post again in the "cold (it's sure not cold here) hard light of day".
Mind you, I don't know why I bother to even write this as you take no notice of anyone else's thoughts.
You are so desperate. I believe in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior.
No argument there.
I see the 666 fingerprint as a key to understanding. If you are so against it, then you should reconsider, in my opinion, but the choice is your own. I will not budge. Jesus is our savior. I know you guys want to associate him with Egyptian solar mythology,
But, just who is "to associate him with Egyptian solar mythology"? You brought that in not I, nor anyone else.
but Horus was not crucified. It's a lie. I'm disgusted that so many would promote this Zeitgeist garbarge... I think that's the main thing holding many of you back. And the reason that so many of you would try so hard to fight my numbers.
Who here suggested that "Horus was
not crucified"? Nobody! And you talk of "Zeitgeist garbarge" - I had no idea what you meant till I looked it up, but:
zeitgeist
noun
the defining spirit or mood of a particular period of history as shown by the ideas and beliefs of the time.
You talk of "the ideas and beliefs of the time", but if you mean the
shape of the earth, the Western and Middle Eastern world seems to have believed the earth to be a globe for millenia.
The early Church certainly seems to accept that the earth was a Globe without question. Just look up the writings of:
The 13th century
Iohannes de Sacrobosco (a French scholar, monk and astronomer) wrote his treatise "De Sphaera" on the spheres, the earth and the celestial. He wrote
THE EARTH A SPHERE. -- That the earth, too, is round is shown thus. The signs and stars do not rise and set the same for all men everywhere but rise and set sooner for those in the east than for those in the west; and of this there is no other cause than the bulge of the earth. Moreover, celestial phenomena evidence that they rise sooner for Orientals than for westerners. For one and the same eclipse of the moon which appears to us in the first hour of the night appears to Orientals about the third hour of the night, which proves that they had night and sunset before we did, of which setting the bulge of the earth is the cause.
"De Sphaera" was regarded as one of the most definitive treatments of Ptolemaic cosmology.
Iohannes de Sacrobosco most assuredly believed
the earth to be a Globe and with very distant sun, moon and stars.
Or the earlier work by the English monk Bede (c. 672–735), who wrote in his influential treatise on computus,
The Reckoning of Time, that the Earth was round. He explained the unequal length of daylight from "the roundness of the Earth, for not without reason is it called
'the orb of the world' on the pages of Holy Scripture and of ordinary literature. It is, in fact,
set like a sphere in the middle of the whole universe." (
De temporum ratione,). The large number of surviving manuscripts of
The Reckoning of Time, copied to meet the Carolingian requirement that all priests should study the
computus, indicates that
many, if not most, priests were exposed to the idea of the sphericity of the Earth.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Bede was lucid about earth's sphericity, writing "We call the earth a globe, not as if the shape of a sphere were expressed in the diversity of plains and mountains, but because, if all things are included in the outline, the earth's circumference will represent the figure of a perfect globe... For
truly it is an orb placed in the centre of the universe; in its width it is like a circle, and not circular like a shield but rather like a ball, and it extends from its centre with perfect roundness on all sides."
