Let me state now that the Bible is not reference at all to any persons whoever existed or to any event that ever occurred upon Earth.
The ancient story-tellers were not writing history, but an allegorical picture of lesson of certain basic principles which they clothed in the garb of history.
And they adapted this stories to the limited capacity of the most uncritical and credulous people.
Throughout the century, we have mistakenly take personifications for persons, allegory for history, the vehicle that conveyed the instruction for the instruction, and the gross first sense for the ultimate sense intended.
I will not continue to quote this. If you will receive the Truth of these writings, you will look to find more for yourself Mr. @Papa-Pepper.
The doors are always there, we have to choose to walk through them.
This is the link for the full audio-book: Neville Goddard, Consciousness Is The Only Reality. It's the first lesson out of a series of five, which I really recommend to anyone to study.
I could write so much more about this, but I feel there is not point right now. If it were that you ask for it, it shall be given. :D
Thanks for sharing Mr @Pappa-Pepper!
