Seldom do we embrace a new idea, especially one of a religious nature.
The ultimate aim of reality is to become science fiction!
The reason we haven’t yet fully understood the Jesus story is that we are gospel-based rather than Bible-based Christians!
The question concerning Jesus: do you want to know the real story, or just the allegory?
Mine is the only view that appropriately combines the end-time messianic expectations of the Jews with Christian scripture.
In my view, the gospels are true, not historically, but theologically, or, as I would argue, prophetically! What we have is, the Messiah’s history written in advance in story form.
If we fail to understand the biblical story of Jesus, we will compromise our prophetic interpretations of the end-times. And that’s exactly what we’ve done.
The difference between a theist and an atheist is the degree to which God has revealed himself to them.
One could say that my view legitimately fuses the end-time messianic expectations of all three Abrahamic religions: Judaism, Islam, and Christianity!
In the deepest sense, the Bible is not meant to be interpreted, but rather revealed!
