Jesus being the son of God (his claim), dying on a cross to make it possible to to have a relationship with God, and rising again is not possible to interpret subjectively. In addition, the majority of NT teachings are not all that easy to interpret differently either (love thy neighbor as thyself, etc.).
We don't care who you claimed claimed it. Nope sorry, still a claim in the bible. You like that claim so you repeat it. "He said" is still YOU repeating something you like and got out of and old book of myth. And you should know by now that quoting a holy book to prove a holy book is called "Circular reasoning".
The bible is easy to cherry pick, but so is any holy writing of any religion. Still does not make virgin births real and nobody survives the death myth story as the bible would have you believe.
