ok you are looking or hoping for a literal manifestation of something, an
appearance if you will, after you have died, right? But Christ
came that we might have life, more abundantly! So
Apollos waters, likely meaning that we all start out with Death, More Abundantly, "Mithraism," bc that is what comports with our desire to go up to a literal place called Heaven,
after we have died, and our beliefs that Yah needed a sacrifice for our sins, a "propitiation," but see that is really all just Cult of Sol Invictus, belief in Zeus, who needed sacrifices, not Yah;
I desire mercy, not sacrifice.
So,
the virgin will be with child to us means "A virgin named 'Mary' had a baby," but see to them "the Virgin" was a very specific deity, yeh? And while we perceive them now as cultists, lost in a bad theology, that was the best theology around then; belief in a One God was initially considered "atheism." But you cant glean all this if the Bible is read as literal history, and the Bible completely contradicts Itself when read on that level, hence all the disagreement among Christians, basically, at least imo.
You might read this for a primer,
Israelite Origins: putting away childish things | Biblical Historical Context, but see that that is #3 on the list, so you might want to start at #1, and if that all seems pointless to you my argument there would be that you just cannot tell people who are not ready to hear something the truth, bc they will literally not be able to hear it, me included :)
we are the moose, and truth is the arrow; at 1:45
imo
