The Helios Biblos Deception


ASK FOR THE EVIDENCE!

Let’s begin by addressing the idea of the Bible being a Sun Book (Helios Biblos). There is no evidence of Jesus or the Bible ever being referred to as the Sun Book (Helios Biblos) in the 1st century (during the time of Jesus, His disciples, and during the completion of the Bible). While it sounds coincidental there is no evidence to prove it is correct. Merely saying, “the Bible is the Sun Book” is simply an opinion, a conclusion, not evidence. In fact, the evidence points directly against it. There is also no primary evidence (early sources from the time of Jesus), that supports the idea that there are parallels between Jesus and Horus or any other astrological being.

The Early Jews and Christians Did Not Refer To The Bible As Helios

The Jews and early Christians did not use these terms to refer to the Bible. Jews usually referred to the Pentateuch, the Law, the Book of Moses, etc., while Christians referred to “the writings” or “the scriptures” (Greek hai graphai, ta grammata).

The word “BIBLE” is derived through Latin from the Greek word biblia (books), specifically the books that are acknowledged as canonical by the Christian church. The earliest Christian use of ta biblia (the books) in this sense is said to be 2 Clement 2:14 (c. A.D. 150): “the book and the apostles declared that the church...has existed from the beginning.”1 The phrase biblia sacra (holy books) first appeared sometime in the Middle Ages.2 Therefore, no follower of Jesus in the early church referred to the Bible as “The Holy Bible”. Notice, sacra is latin for Holy, not helios!

Jesus nor The Bible Is Ever Referred To As Helios (the sun) In The New Testament

The New Testament is the earliest historical document that speaks of the person and works of Jesus (although many 1st century, non-Christian historians affirm His life and works). I have researched every time the word helios is used the New Testament and they all refer to the actual SUN, not Jesus or the Bible.
