Jesus taught in metaphores, right?

[Immortal Goat]

If that is the case, then who is to say the whole "God the Father" thing was not a metaphor? Perhaps Jesus never said the exact phrase "I am the Lord your God, whoever believes in me shall not perish, but have life everlasting". Perhaps it went something like this...

"Look at God as a father to you all. Although we cannot describe God in human terms, this is close enough. God cares for you, provides for you, but doesn't lead you by the hand your entire life. You need to take the initiative and make your life the best it can be. I do not claim to be the son of God, merely a man with a good idea. Whoever believes in my idea shall not perish, but have life everlasting"
Immortal Goat-25:17
