My understanding of the bible at least from the orthodox side is that the stories are not always literal however mainly metaphorical.

There is some interesting theories that it's all about your body, god is you. Your body is the kingdom.

Any god botherers who can answer this:
Jesus was the "great teacher" yet one of his chosen 12 gave him up for silver with a kiss, then killed himself. Surely both are the most terrible acts / sins.
If jesus can't have his chosen ones not commit such sins then does this not say he's not a great and wise teacher?
 
Being God has its perks—immortality, omniscience, and the ability to zap people with lightning, for example—but being the Father of Jesus? That’s a whole other level of stress. First off, Jesus never stops asking questions. You’d think that with all His wisdom, He’d let you chill for five minutes, but nope—He’s always probing, like, "Hey Dad, why do we have free will if you already know what we're going to do?" Like, how do you even answer that without sounding like you’re over-explaining a simple math problem? And let’s not forget the whole “saving humanity” gig. You know, no big deal, just the fate of billions resting on whether or not He can keep His sandals clean and avoid being tempted by some random devil with a snack offer.


Then there's the guilt trip. One minute, Jesus is performing miracles and feeding the 5,000 with some fish and bread, and the next, He’s looking at you like, "Why can’t I turn water into wine? I mean, come on, Dad, you made the universe, and I can’t even get a decent grape juice at dinner?" You try your best to be supportive, but the constant “Why have you forsaken me?” routine? It's enough to make you want to retire to a quiet cloud somewhere, where the only thing you have to worry about is how many angels you need to serenade you during your lunch break. Being the Father of Jesus is like being on call 24/7 for a miracle-demanding teenager who’s convinced the world’s problems can be solved with a good parable and a couple of fish fillets.

You must really hate sundays with all that praying and ****. I trust it’s a little easier after a manly win. Or did you have something to do with that?
