Jesus Christ, Sun of God: Ancient Cosmology and Early Christian Symbolism
David Fideler (Author)
The early Christian Gnosis did not spring up in isolation, but drew upon earlier sources. In this book, many of these sources are revealed for the first time. Special emphasis is placed on the Hellenistic doctrine of the "Solar Logos" and the early Christian symbolism which depicted Christ as the Spiritual Sun, the illumination source of order, harmony, and spiritual insight. Based on 15 years of research, this is a unique book which throws a penetrating light on the secret traditions of early Christianity. It clearly demonstrates that number is at the heart of being. Jesus Christ, Sun of God, illustrates how the Christian symbolism of the Spiritual Sun is derived from numerical symbolism of the "ancient divinities."

Not necessarily, and I still responded to him, so I wasn't nit-picking -- I wanted to clarify what he meant, on the off chance it was something else.
Well, this thread appears to be going nowhere, and no one seems to want to direct me to a legitimate source that I can review, so I'll leave the three of you to it.
Revelation 22:16,
"I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you [1] this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star."

You require 'unequivocal' evidence for everything that doesn't conform to what the bible says, yet when it comes to the bible, it gets a pass on this rule? Do you not see the contradiction ?
