I heard March-April… Jupiter in Aries constellation that could have been “the” Star of the time period 6 years before date of birth… Thanks to Discovery.

Actually the “star” is an allusion to the Aeneid, and sets up Jesus as the new Caesar (tho a kinder gentler version).  It is not, and certainly was not, a story that was meant to be taken as literally true, but rather as a means of integrating the rising power of Christianity into the the Roman tradition.

That may well be true—both Aeneas and Augustus have star myths associated with them—but the star theme is much older than that. Just think about how many ancient stories and myths involve the stars directly influencing human events. It also may relate to the so-called “Star Prophecy” in the Book of Numbers. (“There shall come a star out of Jacob, and a sceptre shall rise out of Israel ...”)

It could also be a supernova or a comet. Or it could be read as pure fiction, which is likely since most of the rest of the tale is historically inaccurate. The census, for instance, couldn’t have happened until 6 AD, while Herod was definitely dead by 4 BC.

You mean that there are inaccuracies in an oral tradition?

Why the importance of symbology and not the word for word written to read by the author or King or whoever decided which books to include in the Holy Bible.

Is that the sentence you really intended? Because I dont recognize it as something that can be comprehended.

All of us failed to match our dreams of perfection. So I rate us on the basis of our splendid failure to do the impossible.

Symbology is the meaning…. not the word that has been interpreted to say what they choose the words to mean…

easier to understand?

not really.  All words are symbols, all symbols are interpreted.

either too deep for me or, possibly, not deep enough.

You know, i’ve always had a problem with language communication anyway.  Person A has a thought, and examines its ‘validity’ in their brain.  Then, begins to tear that thought down so that it can be processed into language by gathering objects (nouns), actions (verbs), descriptors (adjectives, adverbs, noun clauses and such) and other syntatic representations (words) and begins the one-at-a-time serial launching of those words into the air as modulated vibrations, along with emotional warblings and variations and complete with pauses for purely mechanical considerations such as breathing and evaluations of perceived feedback from the intended recipient.

Then, amazing as it may seem, these vibrations strike the eardrum and other mechanical processes which results in neural firings that are sped to the language centers of Person B’s brain which are assembled, with interpretations for components that are implied or even missing into some kind of reasonable caricature of the original idea that Person A had.

(Or some similar version for a typed message)

No wonder we can’t agree.

Maybe I should pay attention and learn what a noun and verb is. Then mainstream can understand the words I say.

My point:

The Holy Bible is a written existence of man. Edited and reinterpreted to read as a means of controlling people through fear.

Behind every Devil there is an Angel. Out of bad comes good.

We had better look at All Ancient Spiritual Texts to see where the correlation is. There lies the Truth.
