I didn’t say it wasn’t true. I accept God’s Truth is subtle and exists on many levels. That’s why people can read their Bibles their whole life and still find new things in it.
If there was one literal meaning you could read it once and put in the shelf and not need to go back to it again.
It’s not a history book, not a science book, it is God’s multipurpose tool.
But it is a history book. Otherwise, why does it contain so much history? Why not just philosophical musings like something from Kahlil Gibran?
