5 months later of research into theology, psychology, postmodernism and other various subjects, l've now came to my own conclusion that not only is Jesus the son of god, but god manifested inside the human spirit.
Like Jordan Peterson points out, the story has to be primary to human beings, it's engraved within us, the problem with postmodernism is that a narrative of a story is unable and insufficient to explain the complexity of human experience.
For postmodernism to succeed it needs to derive its own narrative and story in the process, which is touché to say the least. The problem is that they unconsciously substitute what can be seen as the highest good (god) and replace it with their own personal narrative.
We then come to morality, people like Sam Harris acknowledge the presence of good and evil, and heavily emphasise subjective experience for the most part central, so how do you then arrange and solve the problem of morality? Because in doing so you need to pursue a story and narrative of objective truths on good and evil.
Look at the grandfather of postmodernism, Nietzsche : "God is dead, we have killed him."
Now let’s look at Jung, a follower of Christianity:
When Nietzsche said, “God is dead,” he uttered a truth which is valid for the greater part of Europe. People were influenced by it not because he said so, but because it stated a widespread psychological fact. ~Carl Jung, CW 11, Para 145.
As humans we cannot bare the responsibility of the worlds sin, and the only way to pursue a path of righteousness and redemption, is through the recognition and acknowledgement of Christ as the redeemer of sin.
God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of Goddess.
"If God wishes to be born as man and to unite mankind in the fellowship of the Holy Ghost, He suffers the terrible torment of having to bear the world in its reality. It is a crux; indeed, He Himself is His own cross. The world is God's suffering, and every individual human being who wishes even to approach his own wholeness knows very well that this means bearing his own cross. But the eternal promise for him who bears his own cross is the Paraclete."
