I think there is another option. If you watch yoir thoughts carefully you can see what has never been and never been spoken of before. Moreover, you can even see better concepts than those Jesus presented. He said this Himself. There will come others. You could be one of them.rssllue wrote: ↑02 Mar 2019, 11:22I think that only way to really know God is to trust that His Word is entirely true from beginning to end. If He is the Creator of everything as He states, then He is surely able to easily keep His Word and the meaning of it intact throughout the ages up to our present day. And the ultimate core of the teachings of Jesus is that He is God Himself and without that the rest of what He said and taught really has no depth or meaning.
As C. S. Lewis put it, there are 3 options:
Jesus is Who He claimed to be (God)
He was a charlatan and a liar (because of that claim)
Or He was insane (also because of that claim)

I also believe that Jesus' bone is a metaphor and much as I understand the core of Jesus' teaching is focused on unconditional love for everyone.

It is a metaphor according to my understanding that is why I also did not take it literally.Michgal 32 wrote: ↑02 Mar 2019, 12:51 I think this can't be taken literally, it must have a deeper meaning like maybe finding oneself after some negative things happen to you.

This is indeed an intriguing metaphor and I also feel that the author has tried to convey the message but he wasn't able to convey the message completely.

Jesus' bones is a metaphor. And yes, I also think that it indicates the doctrines or the messages left by Jesus.

I am totally in line with what you are saying and I took this description exactly in the same way as you are saying.Ekta Kumari wrote: ↑02 Mar 2019, 16:08 I think it was mainly used as a metaphor signifying that the author was chosen to find the authentic meaning behind Jesus's teachings and then propagating it to others.

Exactly! The term "Jesus' bones" can't be taken in a literal sense and as I understood it definitely indicates the message left by Jesus.KristyKhem wrote: ↑02 Mar 2019, 21:18 Jesus' bones refer to his core teachings. Jesus spoke in parables in the Bible, so maybe this was why he chose to appear 'boneless' in the author's dream. It is not meant to be taken literally. The author simply had to revive Jesus' true teachings and share it with the world.

I'm confused about this area, too. It was not the literal bone, you are right; the bones might be his spiritual journey.
