It is impossible for the way back to have known about DNA.
For one, they didn't have microscopes.
Thanks for the sermon.

The bible is a book written by poorly educated shepards and desert nomads and doesn't contain anything having to do with modern scientific discoveries.
This is precisely why the evidence shows that these uneducated shepherds were inspired to write the code of creation into their books.
This is evidence God did what he claims, which is to inspire the prophets.
Jesus' parable is an example of what the bible is, wheat (truth) being mixed with weeds (lies). Those who put the bible together planted weeds among the wheat, though it's not wise to throw the baby out with the bathwater. The "harvest" represents that "AHA!" moment or personal revelation. If you pull the weeds up, you may also pull up the wheat so let both grow and when harvest time (personal revelation) comes, you will easily be able to separate two, you'll be able to discern the truth from the lies.

But you don't mean Bible code like the matrixing of bible passages, right? You mean interpretation of their writings from our now scientific point of view…

Communion with angels is surely inspiration enough, don't you think?
They enter the room like a sun and say here, don't be afraid, write this down.

Did Dionysus literally rise from the dead? What about Osiris? Remember, those who believed in those stories also believed they really happened and that the characters actually exist(ed) just as Christians believe in the stories the bible says about Jesus.
The Egyptian myths and any other popular myths throughout history hold the same esoteric truth within them that Jesus' story does. Does that mean they literally happened? Of course not, so I don't see why it should be any different for Jesus and the myths (allegory) surrounding him.
Am I saying that Jesus never existed? No, but what I am saying is that if he in fact did exist he didn't perform the miracles the bible attributes to him, they are pure allegory for esoteric truths in the same way that pagan myths contain esoteric truth within its myths and metaphors.
Also, how did you come to the conclusion that Jesus could manipulate natural laws other than the biblical accounts? Like I said, pagan gods performed all kinds of miracles according to records but just because they were written down does not prove they actually happened.
I appreciate the time you take make these threads though, they're really shining a light on my own understanding.

Those who truly anticipate "him" anticipate themselves in my opinion. Like I said in my original post, those who remember have a leg up, if they remember themselves then they anticipate him (themselves).
Jesus is called "the life", so those who anticipate him anticipate life after death (resurrection/reincarnation). John was called Elijah, so that's a nod to reincarnation and evidence of belief in reincarnation by Jesus.
The image or copy below is what we see, the angel above is our mind. The perfection of world around us (I don't mean human affairs) is a mirror image of the perfection that resides within us, which is the Spirit of God.
John 14
20 On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you.
