i CONSISDER CHRIST TO HAVE BEEN BEYOND TIME in a sense even when he walked dusty paths.

Certainly I know about metaphor.

Why you refuse to believe the metaphor is what escapes me.

Certainly I know about metaphor.

And therefore you realize that a metaphor requires interpretation and cannot be taken in a slavishly literal fashion.

Why you refuse to believe the metaphor is what escapes me.

What escapes you is an appreciation for the Bible as the authentic and complete word of God. You're apparently looking for other information. What do you need to know that is not in the Bible? Can you answer that?
