You reject God's Word ...
Recognition that the Bible frequently teaches truth through metaphor isn't rejection of God's word.
Do you believe that God reached to the ground, picked up some dust in his hands, and molded it into a man?
Do you believe a man that was beaten half to death by Roman soldiers, crucified, and stabbed in the heart with a spear just to make sure.......came back from the dead after three days and walked through a wall to say hi to his friends and let them know he was okay....among other things?
Doesn't every reasonable person?
No, I believe the crucifixion and resurrection to be the greatest hoax ever perpetrated by organized government upon its constituents.
I believe there was a renegade portion of the priesthood which understood that the time of beating the congregation over the head with threats of hell was at an end. It was time to offer the carrot and put the stick away.
Not to mention that the entire philosophy of the crucifixion/resurrection makes no sense to me.
Christ is God, omniscient and eternal. Yet a man killed him?
