My recent post on quantum physics and spirituality, reminded me of a post I did 5yrs back though I got a rubbing for it. It said the Bible is a MYSTIC (spiritual/unseen world) book and should not be read like a novel.
There are DEEEP and HIDDEN WISDOM within its stories held in eg ALLEGORY, ETYMOLOGY of words, SYMBOLS and PARABLES. It’s narrative is about what’s happening inside you,

To my average Christian friend, CHRIST is not a person but a CONSCIOUSNESSES, a God awareness.

Similarly a Jew is also not a person but a consciousness that has direct access to God/Source without a mediator.

Remember Christ is in you (Colossians1::27; a Jew is also in you Romans 2:27-28.

However one needs a mental overhaul, a mental transformation, to repent (metanao) to accept and internalise these truths.
“Unto you (Disciples,Esoteric students) is given the understanding of the Mysteries of the KINGDOM” Jesus said.

FINALLY: The Bible is not a literal book but mystic (spiritual, inscrutable & metaphysical)
