Just for your information, God is light and that is in what you might say is metaphorical and Literal.
The 1 John is both and you will see in Rev it says at the end, there will be No need for the sun & the moon BECAUSE God will lighten it.
Burning Bush, no one (man) can look at God and live. Why would that be,,,,, seems screamingly obvious to me.
As for me standing alone, so to speak, well,,,, I can assure you there are others if not the same, very close and since my findings, I noticed the numbers are increasing, going by the net that is.
As for my unique way of interpreting the Bible - As far as the Key subject on the basics of who God and Jesus are, which I would suggest is necessary to receive Gods Spirit (?), which The Word subject is a Key part of IMO, there is nothing unique other than I use (appears) far more support verses or the ones everyone else leaves out and that, I will challenge anyone anytime, let the Bible do the talking.
However, have you noticed how most said Christians, will Not discuss it. I don't ask them to discuss my views as such but verses I put up and they seem to vanish or say nothing or come back with verses in an entirely different area.
If they could show fault in the verses I provide, I'm all ears as I don't just immediately brush someones opinions aside without checking out their references, backing.
Now I'm really only talking of the Basics regarding who God and Jesus are, I call it the necessary first milk or oracles of God.
My concern is, if one doesn't have that, in other words, don't know the true God, do they get the Spirit of God?
And no one, when I put a hypothetical and ask, "if" my understanding was correct, What do you think the consequences would be for those that don't follow this line of thought, or if I'm wrong, where do I stand,,,,, and I have not had anyone prepared to give that answer??????????
The Bible says, God's Word is Spirit and it also says, test the spirits, so effectively if one puts up verses to see what one thinks about them, your really testing the spirits, so perhaps (?) that's why no one answers, or vanishes haha.
And like it or lump it, (the basics) appear to hinge around John 1:1, in fact the entire Bible is pretty much centered around it, The Word as EVERY message centers around it, milk, bread, water, rivers of water, seed, eternal life, The true light, SPIRIT and on and on it goes and they are ALL in reference to God.
If one grasps that, it's like reading a new Bible.

I understand the position it appears you need to come from or perhaps, what you think people need, re - the science etc.
But that appears to me, that your effectively saying, there needs to be absolute "literal" proof/evidence.
There appears to be many Bible passages that go against this line of thought, re - the faith subject.
Look what Abraham was prepared to do to his son. Do you think he got bogged down on all the science or should I say, mans thinking, logic etc on the matter?
But having said that, I suppose it was more of a proof factor that brought me on board initially.
My first encounter was a study of Rev and over a few years through watching worldly alignments, mid east etc, to many things seemed to align to suggest it wasn't looking to be true (only given a brief here).
From what I see, it doesn't really matter if one doesn't know all the science as to how this or that happened, just the fact that God is behind it. And IMO, if one doesn't have the basic, first milk, their not even getting off home base and all the knowledge, science etc you have on creation etc amounts to bugger all in the big picture.

Anyway, is the following the likes of what's happened in the world?
Isa 30:1 Woe to the rebellious children, said the LORD, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they add sin to sin.
