Yes. See the beginning of the book. The author definitely sees Jesus as divine and preceding creation.
Quote:and they were from hell?
No - they're from "this world," as the quote says.
Quote:It's not metaphorical at all? Wow. Quite an interpretation.

Oooooooorrr, we could realize it's not a reference to being a God, but of being a transcendent being (an Enlightened One, so to speak), while the people to whom he was speaking were not, still trapped in their terrestrial thoughts. One of the numerous examples of Buddhist influence on the teachings of Rabbi Yeshua.

LOL - and you say I have quite an interpretation.
