Episode Details

 
This week we hit part three in a series exposing the lies of Jordan Maxwell, and his Asrotheology cronies.
 
“Is it true that astrology played a large part in the formation of Christianity as Ms. Murdock asserts? Noel Swerdlow is Professor of Astronomy and Astrophysics at the University of Chicago. He has specialized in the study of the practice of astronomy in antiquity through the 17th century. I emailed Dr. Swerdlow on this matter. Here is what he had to say on Ms. Murdock’s view:“In antiquity, constellations were just groups of stars, and there were no borders separating the region of one from the region of another. In astrology, for computational purposes the zodiacal signs were taken as twelve arcs of 30 degrees measured from the vernal equinox. Because of the slow westward motion of the equinoxes and solstices, what we call the precession of the equinoxes, these did not correspond to the constellations with the same names. But . . . within which group of stars the vernal equinox was located, was of no astrological significance at all. The modern ideas about the Age of Pisces or the Age of Aquarius are based upon the location of the vernal equinox in the regions of the stars of those constellations. But the regions, the borders between, those constellations are a completely modern convention of the International Astronomical Union for the purpose of mapping . . . and never had any astrological significance. I hope this is helpful although in truth what this woman is claiming is so wacky that it is hardly worth answering.(5) So when this woman says that the Christian fish was a symbol of the ‘coming age of Pisces’, she is saying something that no one would have thought of in antiquity because in which constellation of the fixed stars the vernal equinox was located, was of no significance and is entirely an idea of modern, I believe twentieth-century, astrology.” https://www.risenjesus.com/a-refutation-of-acharya-ss-book-the-christ-conspiracy
I, the Odd Man Out am in no way affiliated with any of the researchers, & individuals from the sound clips of this episode. Anything i may have said does not reflect upon their character, or positions. I do implore you to watch their documentaries, listen to their podcasts, & read the information they have provided in response to the Zeitgeist films, & the Jordan Maxwell crew. We are very lucky to have intelligent researchers who have taken the time from their very busy lives to unearth critical responses to the Theosophical, & New Age points of view.Albert Mcilhenny-Profit of Zeitgeist, Critique of The Jesus Mythicism of Jordan Maxwellhttps://www.amazon.com/Prophet-Zeitgeist-Critique-Mythicism-Christian-ebook/dp/B008AV29OQAlbert Mcilhenny-Zeitgeist The Farcehttps://www.amazon.com/ZEITGEIST-Mythicist-Phenomenon-Christian-Mythicism-ebook/dp/B0125U2YRESteve Bancarz-The Second Coming of The New Age.https://www.amazon.com/Second-Coming-New-Age-Spirituality/dp/1948014114Chris White-Mystery Babylonhttps://www.amazon.com/Mystery-Babylon-Antichrist-Exposition-Revelation/dp/0615886523Thank you for listening.
