Except when God shows up in person and says how He wants things to be, it becomes clear that "abandoning" what He wants in favor of a "personal timeless relationship" of our own devising with what He created instead of with Him is a recipe for disaster.
All human devised methods are destined for failure because God says plainly he will accept none of them.
I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father but by Me. -- Jesus Christ
Did God show up in person, or did a human lie and say he was god, and then perform a few charismatic magic tricks in front of primitive villagers?
The "miracles" may have been real, it is just that Christ may have intuitively known how to heal people using the energy fields of our energy body... A man before his time who was killed before he could pass it on to too many people. Then, his actions and words were canonized into a religion to entrap humanity.
I doubt it.
I don't think any of those miracles or magical healing stuff can be real.
It's a lot more realistic to just think that Jesus was a guy like any other, and he tried his best to convince people to accept his ideas, and was successful.
That's much more realistic than thinking some guy is actually doing magic.
The miracles Jesus did had plenty of witnesses and were impossible for the technology of His day or ours. (Well, except the water to wine part. David Copperfield could probably manage that one.)
Could it all be a lie? Sure. Is it probably a lie given what we know about all those eyewitnesses and how heroically they lived, suffered and died? Not likely.
The beautiful thing about God's plan is that it sorts all men into keepers or rejects by their own willingness to round off the uncertainty in God's favor or not.
Cannabis oil, rubbed on the gums of a seizing human, will stop the seizures within minutes. Miracle? No. Science.
For the person racked by seizures most of their life, it may be a miracle.
By that quote, I feel in MY heart-centered awareness, that he knew HE was a sentient, sovereign being, and that the path within EACH of us - each sentient, sovereign being - is the WAY.
