The claim that Jesus is the sun
This series covers the claim that the life of Jesus is a story depicting the sun's yearly passage through the twelve zodiac signs.Lyman Stowe's 1907 original text and D.M.Murdock's writings present a correspondence table.Items such as a December 25 birth and '12 apostles = 12 zodiac signs' fall under this.The claim was popularized through the documentary Zeitgeist (2007).In Korean-language sources, it is repeatedly introduced through Sabbath-doctrine debates and year-end articles.Namuwiki and blogger Choi Gwang-min refute the claim by checking it against Plutarch's original text.
