[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also the Sun=Son theory. Was that supposed to be 
"evidence"?[/quote]

I didn't say that.

If you examine the bible, you'll see Jesus compared to light.

[quote]When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."[/quote]
John 8:12 is one  such example.

But many of you are too dense to see how humans RUN on metaphors.

And with the sun giving light to the pagans, helping them grow their crops, giving them warmth, it's only natural to have a sun god.

Again, so many of you can't accept that b/c you're fearful of the truth.

Any basic research 101 will help you.  I suggest you look beyond the bible as your main source.  You may learn something.

Here are a few more:

[quote]Genesis 1:16
God made the two great lights, the greater light to govern the day, and the lesser light to govern the night; He made the stars also.[/quote] (translation - The "great light" is the sun!)

[quote]Acts 26:13
at midday, O King, I saw on the way a light from heaven, brighter than the sun, shining all around me and those who were journeying with me.[/quote]

[quote]Isaiah 60:19
"No longer will you have the sun for light by day, Nor for brightness will the moon give you light; But you will have the LORD for an everlasting light, And your God for your glory. [/quote]

metaphors - all connected to the sun and light[/quote]

So metaphor = proof?

I don't think so. This fails basic tests of logic. Congratulations on learning the word "metaphor", though.

I'm fine with metaphors like the one someone brought up earlier, about Jesus saying he came to bring a (metaphorical) sword. But your attempt to torture an actual metaphor in the literary sense (Jesus as light) into proof that Jesus is some sort of sun god is laughable. [/quote]
