Jesus is a Sun God

Darkness was man’s first enemy. The winters were bitter and unbearable. It was cold and the predatory animals would come out to hunt. However, they didn’t give up hope that their risen savior, the light of the world, would resurrect from the dead, defeat the evil darkness and bring ever lasting life to the earth. As long as the sun would rise, then life would continue on. Man's first savior was the sun.

The story of Jesus Christ is in fact a modern version of this very same solar myth.

In 312 C.E., Constantine prepared to battle Maxentius for control of the Roman Empire. At broad daylight he claimed to see a cross symbol above the sun. Above the sign was the inscription, In hoc signo vinces “by this sign conquer”. The next morning he had his army carry this “sign” that he had seen early into battle. This sign was made using the Greek letters chi “X” and rho “P” as an abbreviation for Christ.

Constantine then embraced the sun god of the Christians and this new religion was suddenly very popular in Rome. The truth is that Constantine viewed Christ as just another sun god who had provided him with his victory over Maxentius, and that this new Christian god could be used as a political tool, as well as bringing about homogeneity to the culture of ancient Rome during the council of Nicea in 325 C.E.

Jesus's sun god traits are quite apparent:

“light of the world.”

“Risen Savior.”

“comes on clouds, and every eye shall see him.”

12 disciples who represent the 12 signs of the zodiac.

Water into wine, which represents grapes ripening after they're rained on and then heated by the sun.

“Crown of thorns” which represents the sun's rays. (The halo is also a solar symbol.)

"Walking on water" symbolizes sun light reflecting off the surface of water.

The sun’s followers (Christians) traditionally worship their risen savior on SUNday.

Many New Testament verses from the Bible contain obvious solar symbolism.

John 8:12 "When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, "I am the light of the world."

Matthew 4:16 "The people living in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned."

Matthew 17:2 "His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light."

John 12:35-36 "Then Jesus told them, "You are going to have the light just a little while longer. Walk while you have the light, before darkness overtakes you. The man who walks in the dark does not know where he is going. Put your trust in the light while you have it, so that you may become sons of light."

“But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of Righteousness arise with healing in his wings;…”–Malachi 4:2.

Sun, with healing in it’s wings, the image of the winged sun-disk, a common motif in ancient Near Eastern art. The writers of the New Testament applied this Old Testament passage to Jesus. The Old Testament was used as a blueprint for the New Testament.

The cross was an extremely ancient symbol which often represented the sun, fertility, ever lasting life or victory.

The sun cross, the solar wheel, the ankh, the tropaeum, cruciform idols, etc.

Many religions had a Triune God. Solar triune gods represented the three stages of the life of the Sun and lunar triune goddesses represented the three phases or life of the moon.

The Christian trinity is a solar triune:

1. The young son at sun rise.
2. Adult at 12 noon.
3. Dying when the sun sets at the end of the day (going back to The Father).

Three different aspects, but one god - the Sun.

The reason that only four gospels were chosen in the official canon, is because the four gospels represent the four seasons which tell the story of the sun god. Mathew, Mark, Luke, John are Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter.

During the winter solstice, The Sun stops moving toward the south. For three days, December 22^nd, 23^rd, and 24^th, the Sun rises on the same degree.

On the morning of December 25^th, the sun moves one degree to the north. It seemed like anything that was in motion all year long that suddenly stops moving for three days must have died. So, the sun was dead for three days and then moves one-degree to the north on December 25^th. The Sun is symbolically born again. This is why Christians traditionally celebrate the birth of their solar deity on the winter solstice.

The Sun had died during winter and is now 'passing over' to his new life in Spring. This is the origin of the modern Pass Over (Pesach) celebration. In the story of the Exodus, the Bible says that Yahweh inflicted ten plagues upon the Egyptians before Pharaoh would release his Hebrew slaves. The Hebrews were instructed to mark the doorposts of their homes with the blood of a Spring lamb and then the spirit of Yahweh “passed over”. In other words, the Sun ‘passes-over’ the equator at the same time that the Jews celebrate a “Passover Service” by partaking of the ‘bread and wine.’ The Passover is the Jewish Spring festival.

This is why Christians celebrate “The Resurrection” of their Sun god in Spring with a “Sun rise service”. The date of Easter was always determined by taking into account the same lunisolar cycles. Easter is the Christian Spring festival and was named after the goddess Eostre.

The New Testament was written in Greek. The Greek word for “son” is “huios” and the word for “sun” is “helios”. These words don’t sound exactly the same like they do in English, however they are still very similar and the writers may have used this as a pun.

The pharaohs of ancient Egypt were called “Sa Ra” (son of the sun) and were considered to be the incarnation of the sun god on earth. Kings and emperors such as Augustus Caesar were referred to as “son of god”.

"The christian religion and Masonry have one and the same common origin: both are derived from the worship of the Sun. The difference between their origin is, that the christian religion is a parody on the worship of the Sun, in which they put a man whom they call Christ, in the place of the Sun, and pay him the same adoration which was originally paid to the Sun."
- Thomas Paine

"The fable of Christ and his twelve apostles, which is a parody on the sun and the twelve signs of the zodiac, copied from the ancient religions of the eastern world, is the least hurtful part. Everything told of Christ has reference to the sun. His reported resurrection is at sunrise, and that on the first day of the week; that is, on the day anciently dedicated to the sun, and from thence called Sunday — in Latin Dies Solis, the day of the sun; as the next day, Monday, is Moon-day. But there is no room in a letter to explain these things."
- Thomas Paine
