Perpetual Motion

Perpetual Machines

Imagine a machine which does not require energy from outside of itself for it to operate and runs forever, a device that generates perpetual motion. With such an invention we would solve all of our energy needs. Nuclear power is in appearance a perpetual energy source, however this is only a resemblance with flaws resulting in nuclear wastes and still the need to extract energy from dense materials like uranium.
People have been trying to solve the riddle of perpetual motion for as long as we can recall. Leonardo da Vinci made drawings of odd machines which look like perpetual devices. These are beautiful drawings; however, these still do not meet the needed criteria for a bonafide perpetual motion device. Richard Feynman developed the Brownian ratchet, a model that extracts thermal energy from its environment. However, this is not the classic perpetual machine as it needs energy from outside itself to function.
The fact is, there is no such thing. The Laws of Thermodynamics are violated by all of our models. Sure, scientists probably are still trying but we will need more knowledge about reality itself to solve this riddle. Whatever this knowledge is it would have to enter into the realm of metaphysics: i.e. the study of the supernatural. This is something mainstream science will not touch.
Another observation addresses the interdependency of all phenomena. Everything in existence relies on the preexistence of something else. Also, any existing thing needs an environment to exist, starting from its beginning. A tree cannot come to be without earth,water, gases, and sunlight. From a seed it grows out of the ground, to process the sunlight with the aid of carbon dioxide. The seed comes from a parent tree, which also comes from still another tree. The tree did not and cannot come out of itself, or better yet create itself without any help. Yes it can reproduce copies of itself with the needed material surrounding it before and during its own existence, but that is all it can really do. This same rule applies to all things. If it is inanimate it needs the preexistence of the material of which it’s made, and it needs an environment to not only contain it, but sustain it, as well. Water must have a certain room temperature for it to remain as water, alter the temperature and you either will yield gas in the form of steam, or fog, or a solid in the form of ice. Now you got an example of the 1st Law of Thermodynamics. The energy from which water is made is changed, but it is not destroyed. It cannot be completely destroyed, or annihilated. To approach this from a philosophical point of view, the fact that it exists means it cannot un-exist. Also, its existence is dependent upon the preexistence of time. This means existence is not reversible. If the thing we are addressing is living, we are going to witness the Law of Biogenesis at work. Attributed to Louis Pasteur, the law states life can only come from life, not from lifeless materials. This is all we really see, the rest is speculation, no matter how convincing the model of abiogenesis.
Edwin Hubble using the Doppler Redshift confirmed that our universe began in time. Hubble’s Law explains how the stars show a redshift thereby demonstrating that our universe is expanding. Imagine a dark colored balloon with white dots expanding; this is commonly known as the Big Bang. Basically since it is expanding it must have at one point started to do so, hence it is a created phenomena. Our universe did not exist forever; it has a beginning. Also, our universe cannot create itself.
Solomon writes in Psalm 102:25-27: Of old thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens the work of thy hands. They shall perish, but you shall endure: yes, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shall thou change them, and they shall be changed. But thou [art] the same, and thy years shall have no end. In Psalm 104:2 Solomon writes: He wraps himself in light as a garment; he stretches out the heavens like a tent.
Our world shows the tracings of a beginning. Laws which govern our world point to an inability for perpetual existence as well as auto creation, or spontaneous generation serving as a proper explanation for our reality coming into being. Also, with the impossibility of perpetual motion seen at our level hints to the logical conclusion that the universe, the greatest thing that we can say exists and that did in fact have a beginning, too, cannot generate perpetual activity. It also is not a perpetual machine. Our universe must require something far greater than itself in order to exist at all. Some of us believe this to be God.

Third Part of My Response to The Movie Zeitgeist

These three things separate the Biblical account of the Flood from the others.
1) The Genealogy of Adam to Noah prophesies the work of Jesus.
2) The avian account of the raven and the 3 trips of the dove refers to both the work of Jesus and the triune nature of God.
3) The course of Satan’s attack and God’s counter attack is seen in a single chapter of Genesis.
What’s in a name?
God says he will confound the wise, making them look like fools.
I am the Lord that maketh all things …That frustrateth the tokens of the liars, and maketh diviners mad; that turneth wise men backward, and maketh their knowledge foolish;[Isaiah 44:25]
No matter what is before such a person there always has to be another explanation.
There is a lot in a name:
Adam, Seth, Enosh, Kenan, Mahalalel, Jared, Enoch, Methuselah, Lamech, and Noah are introduced in the book of Genesis. This list is the complete patriarchal blood line from Adam to Noah.
When Methuselah was born the people should have started asking questions since his name in Hebrew means: His death shall bring (Some translations also include water, too). What, pray tell could this mean? Needless to say this man lived so long that Lamech came and went while Methuselah still lived. Now, here you would really think that people would start to ask questions, for Lamech’s name means: Despair, and despairing, etc. Get the picture?
It was that same year of Methuselah’s death that the waters of the Flood came. We have still to see what’s latent for those who will spend the time to find. If we translate the names of the rest of the lineage from Adam to Noah, we get: Adam-Man, Seth- Appointed, Enosh-Mortal, Kenan-Sorrow, Mahalalel-The Blessed God, Jared- Shall come down, Enoch-Teaching, Prophesying, Methuselah- His Death Shall Bring, Lamech-The Despairing, and Noah- Rest, or Comfort.

Man is Appointed Mortal Sorrow. [But] The Blessed God Shall Come Down Teaching [that] His Death Shall Bring The Despairing Rest [or Comfort].

This is exactly what Christ would do about 2000 years later. (Find it in Genesis 7)

Birds of the Arc

And he stayed yet other* seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark;

First bird- the raven

Noah sends a raven out first in order to locate any carrion as the waters began to descend. Ravens eat flesh. They are among the unclean creatures because of their diet.

And the vulture, and the kite after his kind;
Every raven after his kind; [Genesis 11:13-15]

The raven symbolizes the death of Christ in context. We all are made unclean in the sense that we ate something against God’s will. Christ gives of himself as we take Him into us to be saved from death. He even offers his body and blood to us at Passover. This is necessary to usher in the work of Christ.

Ravens feed the prophet Elijah bread and flesh. Elijah has the power (from God) to control rain; he gives life back to the dead, and he ascends to heaven (The last two are curious traits shared by none other than Jesus). His name means “YAH IS MY GOD”
[See I Kings 17, 2 Kings 2:8]

Second bird-the dove

Doves are clean according to the dietary laws given by God to Moses, and were thereby acceptable for sacrifice (Genesis 15:9, Leviticus 5:7 and 12:6-8, Luke 2:22-24).

Jesus is worthy and is sacrificed for our transgressions.

The dove becomes a symbol of The Holy Spirit –
And when Jesus was baptized, He went up immediately from the water, and behold, the heavens were opened and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and alighting on Him; and lo, a voice from heaven, saying, "This is My beloved Son, with Whom I am well pleased. (Matthew 3:16-17)

The dove is the symbol of peace. Noah gets the message of ‘flood’s over’ as the dove returns with the olive branch. [Gen 8:11]

Noah sends out a dove. The bird comes back. After another 7 days, Noah sends the same bird out again. This time the dove comes back with an olive branch.
After again another 7 days the same dove does not return.

The dove symbolizes the triune nature of God:
The Father-dove’s first flight.
The Son- dove’s second flight
The Holy Ghost- dove’s third flight. Jesus Christ is resurrected on day three. Seven is the numerical reference to God and His work. God creates everything in six days; whereas he reflects on the seventh.

Raven ► Death of Christ
7 days ► Number symbol of God/His work
Dove/ First flight ► God the Father
7days►Number symbol of God…
Dove/ Second flight/olive branch ► God the Son
7days ► Number symbol of God…
Dove/ Third flight/ ‘disappears’ or ‘gone away’ ► The Holy Spirit

Or it can be read as:

Raven ► Death of Christ
Dove/ First flight ► God the Father
7days►Number symbol of God/His work, The Crucifixion
Dove/ Second flight/olive branch ► God the Son
7days ► Number symbol of God/ His work, The Resurrection

Jesus, either way, is present in the text.

The three flights of the one dove both symbolize God and Jesus and binds them together as one in the symbol. 1. Jesus was dead for three days. 2. God has three qualities in Him; each is no less than the one-Father, Son, Holy Spirit.
The recurring number seven is spaced between each bird’s flight beginning with the raven. Seeing as this number is a reference to God and His work Jesus was born to die, by the will of God and is one with God. The second flight this dove comes back with the olive leaf bears the very type of plant from which comes anointing oil. Jesus is God’s anointed. In addition, he is crucified on a ‘tree’ in the form of a cross. Jesus is also the vine with us as the branches.
Jesus’ tomb found empty after the third day is expressed by the dove’s final and third flight. When Jesus ascends to Heaven the Holy Ghost is given to the believers at Pentecost.

*the wording is peculiar, here. “…waited yet other seven days” first appears between raven and dove. Highly speculative, this may yet imply something even more.

Noah’s sons

Ham is cursed due to sexual ridicule of his father Noah at Noah’s most vulnerable moment. Ham and his offspring are to serve his 2 brothers, Japheth and Shem and their offspring.
Here the O.T. reveals how Egypt and Babylon make the best fertilizer for rebellion against the will of God through self-worship, perversion, sorcery and astrology.
It also shows where Gnosticism comes from. Gnosticism means ‘hidden knowledge’, but not the knowledge of God-theology, being the study of God- but knowledge to be as God through self-serving means. Remember the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
Genesis 9 also reveals how people can dwell with God through a blessing as Jesus comes from the line of Shem.


God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.[Genesis 9:18-27]

This is the war map of Satan
Ham is cursed ► Mizraim ► Egypt tries to crush the Jews.
Also, Cush ► Nimrod ► Babel. ► Babylon tries to rule over the Jews.

This is God’s counter-move.
Ham (Egypt) must serve Shem (Israelites) or fall.
Cush (Babylon) must do likewise, or fall.
Japheth (Gentiles) will live with Shem (Israelites ► Jesus Lord) in his tent (tabernacle/tent/home/heaven)

Satan must bow down to God or fall.

All the people not of the Jews [may] live with the Jews with Christ the Lord in His Mansion.

Trouble for Ham/Egypt

He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish.

[Psalms 105: 26,-38]
Primary source in Exodus.

Trouble for Cush/Babylon







A servant of God, Daniel, interprets the dream

In that night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain.
[Daniel 5]

In light of the Eden account here is a more complete war map of Satan.

Adam/ Eve►cursed►death►Cain kills Abel ► Ham-cursed► Mizraim ► Egypt tries to crush the Jews.
Also,Ham► Cush ► Nimrod ► Babel. ► Babylon tries to rule over the Jews ►currupt the world of men (gentile and Jew)

A parallel course of attack is always present since Eden.

Cain-cursed*►Enoch► offspring of Enoch►Lemech► corruption of the pre-Flood Creation►Ham-cursed… ► Saul, first king of the Jews who seeks the death of David (bloodline of Jesus)► Herod** who seeks the death of Jesus.

[* all curses go to offspring.]
[** Herod is a direct offspring of the Edomites. They assisted Nebuchadnezzar (Babylonian King) to slaughter the Jews. Esau is Edom. Esau gives up his birthrights to Jacob, his brother, and loses his chance to become Israel. Instead, Jacob becomes Israel.]

Lemech says something very revealing: I killed a man who wounded me and since my father is revenged, I will be even revenged seventy-seven fold. [Genesis 4: 23,24].

This wounding business is a direct echo of the serpent’s cry of being cursed/wounded starting in the garden.
Now, up until the fulfillment of the Revelation Satan goes after the offspring of Eve who will one day finish him. He tries to wipe out the line of Shem(Jews) in Egypt. Corrupt the line of Shem in Babylon…Kill the anointed (Jesus) not once, but twice. He thinks Jesus will come back as an infant. Hence so many infanticide cases escalating to date.
The world prior to the flood became so corrupt from the offspring of Cain, God knew best by choosing still another son for Adam: Seth.

God’s counter move:

New beginning in the form of a post-Flood creation ►Noah►Seth►paternal bloodline from him, starting with Adam to Noah►Japheth/Shem► Abraham ► David►Solomon ► Jesus, a reconcilement of man with God.

A final note:

Astrology as the main source for the Biblical text

Let them[stars] be for signs and seasons, days and years [Genesis 1:14]

From a Biblical perspective, God’s fingerprint should be found in the world, the stars, the land, waters, stories…


As a Christian I embrace the idea that Virgo the virgin predates the Virgin Mary, that there are three stars that predate the 3 kings in search of Jesus, that Draco the Dragon predates Lucifer and that the 2 fishes of Pisces predates Jesus and his miracle of feeding a whole multitude with only 2 fish.
With understanding, we can also embrace how there are over 200 flood stories that ‘suspiciously’ points to Noah. The Truth should be spread out all over the face of the earth, but is only in fragments without the Bible to pull it all together.

And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money.
[Luke 22:1-21]

The man with the pitcher of water can easily refer to Christ.


The promise is a gift from God, as Jesus speaks with the Samaritan woman at the well.
The man with the pitcher of water can also, and simultaneously, refer to God.


The room is an upper room. It’s large and is completely ready for the feast to take place.
It becomes a symbol for heaven.


Bethlehem - house of bread.
Jesus is born there.
Jesus is the bread of life.
And Jesus said unto them, “I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst…. I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. [John 6:35, 51.]

The [wedding] feast in heaven

And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven. [ Matthew 8:11]

Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage.[Matthew 22:2-4]

Old Testament:
Isaiah 54:5 -- For thy Maker is thine husband; the Lord of hosts is His Name, and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; the God of the whole earth shall He be called.
Isaiah 62:5 -- And as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee.
New Testament:

2 Corinthians 11:2 [Paul reminded the church in Corinth that they were married to Jesus.] For I am jealous over you with Godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one Husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.

* Notes for Noah section: Is there seven days before the first flight of the dove? The Genesis text doesn’t say this flat out. However, I cannot help but see the connection. There is discrepancy over translation throughout the Bible from the Hebrew and Aramaic, Greek to English. Nevertheless, there seems to be an uncanny protective mechanism in the Bible that never fails. I’m familiar with the question regarding Jesus’ claim of being dead for three days to rise on the third: From Friday to Sunday is not three days. This is too obvious to overlook. A problem starts with assuming a total number of hourly units for us being 24hrs per day as how the Hebrew thought back then. Days and nights are made separate, and is often shown in the Bible: “Forty days and forty nights” serves as a good example. Also, according to Jewish custom each new ‘day’ starts at nightfall, not at the24th hour. Therefore, Their Friday starts at our Thursday, so to speak. If something falls on a part of the day, it serves a total unit, as well. Sure, it is a little confusing; it is this type of ‘problem’ which will most probably reveal more connections between O.T and N.T.
So how can Jesus be crucified on a Friday and resurrect on Sunday and still fulfill His own prophesy of a three day interval?
Jesus was crucified and was dead for 3 days, a unit that compares to the span of their day; He arose on the 3rd day. Night/day(Jewish Thursday at nightfall brings in their Friday) night/day (Saturday) night/day (Sunday).
The binding point is how the question of the dove’s first flight following seven days parallels the question of the number of days, or day units, Jesus is considered dead, prior to His resurrection.

The units:
Hebrew: night/day/night/day/night/day/night ► English: [day=day and night] /day/day/day.

For the average English-speaking listener, a Friday crucifixion to a Sunday resurrection is just two days.
For the Hebrew-speaking listener, there are three ‘days’ involved, here.

The comparison:

on Wed. THUR

on Thu. FRI

Raven ► Death of Christ
7 days ► Number symbol of God/His work [?]
Dove/ First flight ► God the Father
7days►Number symbol of God…
Dove/ Second flight/olive branch ► God the Son
7days ► Number symbol of God…

Second Part of My Response to Movie Zeitgeist

This is the following text that you can read after considering my first post.
Please, read with an understanding that my words are not of my own contrivance, but from inspired men of God spanning at least four thousand years of our history.

Spiritual Warfare
What many today refuse to acknowledge is the existence of a Creator and that this being is spiritual by nature. However, what is even more pertinent is this being’s lack of any whim in His actions and absence of anything short of going against Himself and anyone who seeks Him. Nevertheless, what this does not mean is that whenever someone simply starts believing in a Creator and even begins praying to their concepts of a Creator that only the real McCoy will answer. Why? Because there is a spiritual battle occurring outside of the direct sight of man. This stems from two most basic worldviews: 1) First comes the supernatural world, God the creator and designer. This supernatural being is a spirit. A spirit is an intelligent being, which exists outside of time and space and yet can interact with the latter if it chooses. From the Creator all else flows, or comes into existence and is with purpose. 2) First comes the material world by a manner that excludes the presence of a creator/designer. It can be eternal, which means it does not have a beginning. The supernatural is modeled after man’s nature and his needs in order to cope with the natural world.
Let’s even simplify it some more:

Viewpoint # 1 From the Supernatural comes the Natural / God ► man.

Viewpoint # 2 From the Natural comes the Supernatural / man ► God.

There is a third viewpoint that poses as an alternate solution but really is the second viewpoint in disguise: Pantheism, commonly known as Gnosticism. This concept merely equates the created with the creator. This is masked within the saying “God is everything and everything is God” So; there really are only the two viewpoints.
These viewpoints are our world-views. It is this, which will determine the course of a man’s life, ultimately.

The Bible teaches about a spiritual warfare.
It starts shortly after the beginning of the world as God punishes the sin of Adam and Eve, sending them out of Eden. He prophesies the struggle between Jesus and Satan.
[15]And I will put enmity between thee [Satan] and the woman, and between thy seed[antichrist-666]and her seed[Jesus]; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. [Genesis 3:15]
It is important to make note that a woman bears an egg, not a seed. From a skeptical world-view, this poses a problem in the text. Looking at it in the light of what it is really saying Mary bears the miracle of the virgin birth, hence the masculine seed application.
When, earlier, Satan causes doubt in the minds of Adam and Eve, as they decide to eat the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil the two infect their oneness with life. However, I am not writing of that life in how we today see it. God is Life. We see nature as life. This is the difference! God is one. Adam and Eve is one with Him in the garden of a perfection invisible to our eyes and minds. The other tree, the tree of life, is a symbolic prefiguring of Jesus on the cross and as the vine, with us as the branches.
Jesus’ crucifixion is laden with O.T. prophesy.
27:35 And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet[*], They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots. [Matthew 27:35]
Satan is the one-time most beautiful of the angels and is Lucifer. This alludes to the Day Star, or Morning Star in Isaiah 14:12.
Such a passage can fall in context with Babylon. This makes sense as will be seen in the section of Noah.
Jesus is found in the same O.T. manuscript:

After the expulsion from Eden, God slays an animal possibly reminiscent to a ram or sheep for its hide. Since this animal is from Eden it is perfect and without blemish. God covers the pair with this hide. This unblemished creature had to shed its blood for the sin of Adam/Eve. God says in Genesis 3:15 there is a conflict between Satan and Eve’s offspring. Both are hurt, Satan in the head and Jesus in the heel. The lowest part of Jesus is bruised whereas the highest part of Satan is. The heel is referring to Christ’s flesh. Also, the ground is place of our feet and this is symbolic of the earth and place of all flesh. This is the playground of Satan. It is also God’s footstool. It is at the foot of His throne.
The whole issue regarding the need for the shedding of innocent blood of an unblemished offering stems from the fact that Adam and Eve are now both physically and spiritually dead. Originally they were whole, made perfect in God’s eyes. They dwelt with Him and had no fear of death- remember the tree of life. Unfortunately Adam and Eve are made divided. They are separate from God and everlasting life because in their veins courses that dividing factor exemplified as 2 things-the knowledge of 1.good and 2.evil.
Whereas, before, they were one with God and they were single, whole. Now, their blood is cursed and God announces it. He did not put this on them. Adam and Eve put that curse in their mouths with their own hands. God is the first messenger and Satan the liar. So, the blood is worthless and now Adam and Eve are made a duality of sorts with respect to conflicting flesh and spirit. Their flesh now bears the blood of death and so they are ‘already’ dead. The only way to fix this is by the letting of innocent blood of an unblemished, perfect sacrifice. Otherwise, Adam and Eve would have to let out all their blood. The O.T is filled with such animal sacrifices. However, Jesus put an end to this with Himself as the perfect retributive solution set in motion since the incident in Eden.
Indeed, the animal sacrifices of practically every known ancient people in light of the Gospel parallels the story of Adam, Eve, Cain and Abel. The very need to ‘sacrifice to the gods’ testifies much.
Abel imitates God’s example with his animal offering from one of his sheep (he was a shepherd). Cain tries with a vegetal offering, which precariously resembles his parent’s efforts in hiding themselves in vegetation, whereas God puts animal hide to use. As a result more innocent blood is shed as Cain who is made angry of God’s favorite choice kills his brother.

First Part of My Response to Movie Zeitgeist

This is something I wrote as a response to the movie Zeitgeist. I hope you like it (at least enough to see things aside from the nonbeliever's point of view for but a moment in your busy day).
There is more to this article I will post later.


This letter responds to the movie: Zeitgeist- Part One: The Greatest Story Ever Told.

The author is of the Christian faith, which may cause any reader to discount this work’s objectivity and its claims. Let it be known that one must do their own research in a matter of such importance, especially where matters of the supernatural is concerned.


The first part of the movie attempts to illustrate in a manner of about 40 minutes the false claims of Christianity. Now, and as is usually the case, it is only the Christians who will defend God aside from Christ. It is not that He needs any defense from us, but rather, it is the reverse, since if someone is blocked from a true hearing of the real Gospel this person will not have a chance to be with God in the end.
In defending the claims set down in the New Testament, one must needs include an accurate follow-up of the Old Testament. There are so many people who believe in the latter, but seldom do you hear a peep from them, with the exception of some Muslims. You will not hear anything whenever evolutionists add to their claims to God’s work and creation. You will not hear a peep from them whenever such documentaries like ‘Zeitgeist’ clearly attack the authenticity of the O.T. The governments can do whatever they please and you will only hear silence, accept where land or money is concerned. However, the scriptures don’t mean anything in themselves to any religious group as does the Bible to its devoted readers. I know this may sound like a silly, myopic claim, but it does not compare with the conclusions made by the creators of ‘Zeitgeist’.
This movie opens with a clip from a speech that says religion is created to control the masses. It then follows with a skit from George Carlin, distorting the claims of the Bible by gluing this to corrupt men who pose as Christians.
Following this, astrology serves as being the main source for the inception of the O.T. and N.T. A list of pre-Christian deities is compared to Jesus from all over the world. Then, it takes one Christ-type among many in the further the claim that Jesus is a fraud.

First, this film makes a similar stand certain men have done in the past, and with dire results. Elimination of faith in a greater good/power than men themselves is exactly what Communist engineers like Karl Marx, Vladimir Lennon and Mao Zedong have done. See what follows in our case if such philosophy fools influential parties with money and power.

- Karl Marx

George Carlin is an entertainer. The day when such role models are to replace that place in our hearts and minds reserved for our Creator is the day we are all going to be mere butts of a joke.

The circle sectioned off into four equal parts serves as the map of the zodiac. Sure, it has a cross at the center as the two dividing lines meet there at a 90-degree angle. Sure, there are 12 houses each assigned a mythological entity seen in the constellations. Sure, there may be some valid connections numerically speaking between the constellations and the Bible. However, I don’t feel that the pursuit of knowledge is the goal, here. It is something that uses whatever will serve its purpose in attacking Christ. It is something that wants to put man at the center, and this may sound innocently heroic for the cause of man’s place in the cosmos at its face-value, but again what men will place themselves at the center where God aught to be?

Horus, Attis, Krishna, Dionysus, and Mithra predate Jesus’ story. Among the several traits shared , a virgin birth, 12/25 birthday, 12 disciples, and a resurrection, are the most common. Less common are titles such as Lamb of God, The Light (Horus) and Alpha and Omega and God’s only begotten son (Dionysus). Therefore, curious, I read up on Horus only to find out the film’s claims are nowhere near as clear-cut as it seems. Horus is not called the Redeemer, nor is he called the Judge of men. Osiris, is. I looked at Dionysus, too. The maker’s of ‘Zeitgeist’ tend to funnel their data to serve their aims. Many accounts of our Greek god of wine tell of his birth from Zeus’ leg. This clearly cannot be where a begotten offspring in a true sense comes as Dionysus is stitched up in his father’s leg as a protection of a fire which destroys his mother. In addition, often is he connected with this more than his birth from Semele, while still other accounts from Persephone, or both! The real birth date of Jesus Christ falls on our month of September. One clue is the shepherds tending their flock: it would not be around the time of January as there would be no grass for the sheep-yes it was cold at this time and shepherds have more important things to do than lead their flocks to a plain of nothing! The title of God’s only begotten son cannot be taken seriously because anyone even moderately versed in Bulfinch’s Mythology know how many offspring Zeus has! Also, the only disciples Dionysus seems to have are a flock of scantily clad maenads (female denizens of nature).
However, even if some of this was true after a comparative survey of available sources does this mean that the Bible is a fraud?
The movie fails to mention Carl Jung’s research in the connection of dreams and myths. Also, without any scruples owed to the truer definition of ‘myth’ as collections of human experience, embedded into our collective subconscious (aka archetypes) the makers of ‘Zeitgeist’ merely wipe the slate clear of this area so rich in content in order to validate their iconoclast position.

The thorns of Jesus’ crown trace back to the sun’s rays, His appearance in the clouds to the sun’s course in the sky, obscured by clouds, according to the film. The time of Moses is compared to the Age of Taurus at its end to usher in the Age of Aries. The worship of the golden calf in the Genesis account and the shofar of the Hebrews point to astrology-based origins that invalidate God as authority, since this is handed over to the stars. Well, who put the stars in such a precise order, in the first place? I would assume there would be nothing in the constellations but stories for long-extinguished campfires. The fish references where Christ feeds five thousand people with two fish compares to the sign of Pisces and so does the age of Pisces with Jesus’ recorded birth. Bethlehem, place of Jesus’ birth means ‘house of bread’, all Bible scholars worth listening to know this. ‘Zeitgeist’ claims no geological Bethlehem and real person in Jesus Christ. The problem is not in the stars, but in the minds of the makers of ‘Zeitgeist’. There cannot be a real, historical Jesus because this would pose real problems for a man-centered-philosophy. Imagine, what would we do if the heavens really do declare the handy works of God? If one goes to Israel and to Jerusalem, they will be able to stand where Jesus stood, where he was scourged and crucified and where he was laid in the tomb. Even the Jewish communities there acknowledge such sites as well as the actual place where David flees from Saul, Engeddi, to name a few places of undisputed quality.
The Age of Aquarius follows Pisces and compares to Luke 22:10, where the man with a pitcher of water shows the apostles to an upper-room. Perhaps David knew this already, but his conclusions are opposite of the film:

The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handiwork. [Psalm 19:1]

Is the Bible a reflection of the stars or the reverse? The entire creation ultimately points to not only a god, but the God of the Bible and in particular, Jesus Christ. What is more, we can see from the world how God is expressed from the altruism of the pelican who will surrender herself for the life of her offspring to the very stars that, yes, declare a specific creator that we will all acknowledge in the end. Further more just as we may find Jesus in the stars of creation we find Him in practically every page of the sixty six books which make up our King James bible:

Thirty-nine books make up the King James O.T. The first five books make up the Pentateuch, the books attributed to Moses.
Jesus declares the books of the Jews that today make up our O.T. speak of Him.

[John 5:39]

Are we to assume that Constantine and his men at the Council of Nicaea stuck this in here, along with everything else; is this chance?

I receive not honour from men.
[John 5:38-41]

No, Jesus, you do not, and certainly not from the makers of “Zeitgeist”!
