It just dawned on me that your thinking isnt entirely new. After re-reading your posts I see that you're just stuck in gnostic kind of thought due to your dream you had. They were one of the early herisies. They thought there were all these angelic levels to God and that Jesus wasnt both man and God. They had numerous versions of God and thought they had a special revelation that surpassed that of the apostles writings and soon either left them or added their own thoughts to it.
Im asking you to consider what you are left with Thorwald. If you dont accept the word of God as it is, then how do you justify still reading it? Am I right in saying you are only choosing the verses that line up with your dream? Because I was doing the same thing. You're going to find this will become a moving target that's constantly changing. The problem was that I was affraid that going against what had happened to me meant rejecting God. You do remember that our adversary is a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. Does he still fit into your theology currently? If not, that may mean something. We can be snared and are told that we are easily decieved. How do you know you are not decieved? It's an honest question and I wouldnt ask if I didnt care brother. I can tell you things spiraled out of control and the word didnt make sense to me anymore. I just started praying for Him to ground me in Christ alone. He marvelously brought me around by His hand and is still working on me. For the first time in my life, scripture makes so much sense and I've been able to see my redeemer instead of what I was seeing.
The bottom line is this. I cant explain what happen to me. I only know where I am now. Now I rely on God's word versus what I was thinking, feeling or dreaming. Im greatfull He delivered because it most certainly wasnt by my power. I had none and was dead wrong in nearly any doctrine you could imagine.
