In Mass. The life of christ is the Mass itself. The death is recieving the blessings and forgiveness from god via repentence (crucifed in christ), the resurrection is the Eucharist.
When Christians talk about physical resurrection of Jesus, they mean, Jesus body became alive again physically after the death. What you describe is not an evidence for the physical resurrection. But your interpretation is closer to what Bahais also believe.
It is physical. Its about the communion of real people, real church, and real jesus. Are you saying a christian's salvation is symbolic?
You seem to think symbolic means unreal.
Whereas symbolic does not mean unreal or myth.
Symbolic just means, spiritual truth described with symbolic terms. If you say, his face is as bright as moon. This is symbolic, and real, but it does not mean, his face literally (or physically) is bright.
If you have no bias then you wont see faults in another person's scriptures in light of your own interpretation.
Remember, when you went to school, you took classes and then you wrote a test. Then your teacher marked your test. He told you which one of your answers were correct and which ones are incorrect. Are you saying that, when he found fault with your answers or understanding of the lessons, he was biased?! That is how Holy Books are. People can misunderstand the lessons in the holy Books. The story of Resurrection of Jesus is meant to be a true lesson. The story teaches spirituality. But if some people do not see its intended purpose and lesson, and takes the symbols, as physically true, should not an all-knowing God tells them of their faulty understanding of God's book?!
Spiritual is literal not symbolic. It has physical ways of the same love etc as whats in your heart.
spirituality can be expressed using symbolic expressions and stories, can it not?
The true interpretation is only made by christians. Its Their scripture not yours and not mine.
The Christians who live in our time or even past did not write the Bible. The Bible was written by the apostles of Jesus, not by all other Christians, so, how can you say the book belongs to anyone who is called Christians? Jesus and the apostles many times warned against false Christian teachers, and even those who call Jesus Lord, Lord!
Unless you are saying they dont have a clear true heart and dont have the true interpretation??
I am saying if the heart is not pure and clean, it cannot understand. That is what the Bible said:
"Many will be
purified, made
spotless and refined, but the wicked will continue to be wicked. None of the wicked will understand, but those who are wise will understand."
This verse of Bible tells us, to become wise, we need to become pure and spotless; our heart needs to be cleaned.
"The
heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the
heart of the fool to the left."
"My son, if your
heart is wise, then my
heart will be glad indeed; ...."
"The hearts of the
wise make their mouths prudent, and their lips promote instruction"
