sure, things can be typological/symbolic and prophetic
anyone who studies Scripture has to use interpretive methods to a certain extant
I don't know what you mean by a duality view of God
to my understanding, the literature kept a Qumran affirms Triune concepts of God
I think this sort of view of the Gospels and of Jesus is abnormal
I view Father, Son, and Spirit as distinct aspects of the one God
Divine Triad
The duality of the Essenes are the TWO divine principles at enmity with each other in THIS AGE. But the two at enmity in THIS AGE are WITHIN the unifying third principle, namely, the Most High God. He lies at the heart of all things maintaining a unity. This is the divine triad of the Essenes explicitly described in the DSS.
Trinity
Christian orthodoxy says the trinity are three persons making up one God. The Trinity was a later variant of the Divine Triad. In the Trinity the enmity of the two principles under the Father is replaced with perfect harmony. In addition, they replace “the El” with YHWH Elohim, make Jesus the only begotten Son, and identify the Holy Spirit as the third principle. The difference between the Essene’s Divine Triad and orthodoxy’s Trinity is largely due to the Gospel stories being taken as literal events. Put the Gospels in their proper perspective as mythical esoteric stories and the Essenes Divine Triad comes into view.
For example,
If the Gospel story is myth and Paul’s formal description (in his epistles) of Jesus being the Holy Spirit is true, which I believe it is, then the mythical Gospel Jesus and Paul’s inner Jesus can be reconciled presuming that the Gospel Jesus is written esoterically to personify the INNER JESUS of the saints, (specifically, Paul, in this case for he was a revelatory teacher), —the inner Jesus equated by Paul to be the Holy Spirit. Therefore, the Holy Spirit is (=) Jesus/Joshua. If Paul and the Essenes are on the same page then those two line up to be one principle, one “person” of the Divine Triad.
Now we just have to sort out the other two principles. Follow the line of thought here.
IF the saints have an INNER JESUS, associated with the Holy Spirit, personified in the Gospel story as the mythical man Jesus, then the flesh of the saints would be personified as well as the “body“ of the Gospel Jesus, aka, the only begotten Son of God.
Stay with me Just a bit longer.
Again, In the Gospel Jesus (not Paul’s Jesus) we have the sum (=) of the duality personified and mythically represented as the 1) Holy Spirit and (+) the 2) material body or flesh of the (“only begotten son of God”), —the two principles at enmity with one another. Right?, for what does Gospel Jesus say, “It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh is no help at all.” (John 6:63). Again, the flesh must die, the only begotten son of god must die for what? For sin! In the Gospel stories we see the enmity of the duality esoterically represented, the spirit versus the flesh of the mythical Gospel Jesus, which is EXACTLY what the founders of Christianity taught. Furthermore, please note that when the Gospel Jesus was mythically represented as dying on the cross, it was his flesh or body left hanging there dead and lifeless, whereas, the Spirit returned to his heavenly Father. The body and spirit of Christ were divided at death, that is, the flesh or body of Christ and the spirit of Christ
Set the Gospel stories aside for a moment and think only of its esoteric meaning.
If the flesh or material world or body of the Christ or only begotten Son of God
is at enmity with the Holy Spirit or spirit of Jesus, then who is the only begotten son of god or flesh and furthermore, who is the heavenly Father? The latter is easily identified as “the Most High God” or “the El.” The former is arguably YHWH Elohim. Why? Because he forms the body or flesh of the saints and condemns them to death forever. There is no avoiding his curse in THIS AGE! He is the adversary to the Holy Spirit IN THIS AGE. He is the only begotten Son of God in heaven who died for sin, —his sin! What sin? The original sin: Denying the “the Most High God”, rebelling against his heavenly Father, in heaven. YHWH Elohim is the body of Christ who spoiled his heavenly nature and now forms the nature or body of Christ that dies for sin, —in US!
Therefore, given this rough sketch of how the divine triad developed into the Trinity, largely due to the Gospel myths being taken literally, we can perceive how the Trinity
should parallel the Divine Triad as espoused by the founders of Christianity, namely, the Essenes.
1) The Most High God >> one true God and Father, “heavenly Father”
2) YHWH Elohim >> Only begotten son of God who died for sin forming and killing flesh of Christ, father of imperfect flesh condemned to die
3) Ruach Elohim >> Holy Spirit or Inner Jesus of the Saints bringing order to the “body of Christ”, freeing the spirits from death, and transmuting the “body of Christ” to its former glory, champion to the saints, prince of truth
