>>lets start here ok? which language do you read?<<
It is irrelevant what I read. I am not saying any text is to be taken literally.
You make the contention, therefore it is up to you to tell us all that you have read the text in its original language(s).
If not, then you do NOT take the Bible literally, but merely figuratively.
It is one or the other. And the onus in on you.
