Christine the Savior concept is just a spin from the original myth.
There is a deep desire in all mankind to understand his being. Early man observed the heavens and did understand that the light and heat from the sun were necessary to sustain life. Therefore considered it their prime source for existence. Their first knowledge came from the zodiac and it's reliability for assurance of its return.

There is a book titled, "Who is this 'King of Glory?'" written as an explanation for the true wisdom in the bible. I can assure you of the many works I diligently sought, this one book, made me have a new respect for the hidden wisdom of the bible. It is available at Kessingers online bookstore. I have a 3 1/2 floppy with the entire book in text. If you have a website or are on any IRC I have a cable ethernet that sends at speeds up to 10 times a 56 modem. If you have a good ISP responsw time should be able to download in a matter of minutes. If you care to browse its contents online Kessigers gives a brief description. If you continue your search you will truly prove own truth from within your own soul.

I started today running little inspiring words from concepts of different words of the wise. My next post aafter this reply will be from a quote of Eckhart. It will ring true or false on its own merits and needs no spin for your understanding.

Christine here is another work explaining mythology. I am of the opinion if one wants to understand the bible, it is necessary to understand Greek mythology. The, "Orphic Theogony" by G.R.S. Meade
is an excellent work for this.
