Hi All
I am currently doing some research for a fictional book set in pre-enlightement times.
I want to include a character that has read the Bible and although he risks his life in doing so, has come to the belief that Christ is a metaphor - that we are all Christ and God exists - not as a separate being, but as the eternal Life force.
Christ dies so we can live... i.e. to be born you have to die... so Christ represents the Life of Man, the Son of God, God being the eternal human consciousness that never dies, but which begets Man.
Does anyone here know of any quotes from the NT that this character could have interpreted/twisted to support this theory?
It would be of great help.
