the sun doesn’t move though our sky and you know it. When presented with irrefutable evidence of allegorical pronouncement in the Bible you lack the intellectual honesty to admit it. Once you accept allegory in Joshua, you must accept it as possible elsewhere.

Go feast on the four-legged,winged creatures referenced in leviticus, if you can find one.

Normal physics ... yes, I agree ... but isn't it obvious that a miracle occurred in Joshua? Or do you deny miracles are possible?

When presented with irrefutable evidence of allegorical pronouncement in the Bible you lack the intellectual honesty to admit it.

THAT is irrefutable evidence? No worries ... God is not required to operate according to the laws of physics at every instant of time. Isn't that totally apparent to you when reading Joshua?

Was the resurrection of Jesus Christ a literal historical event ... or is that allegory too?

Once you accept allegory in Joshua, you must accept it as possible elsewhere.

And then you are free to allegorize anywhere you are uncomfortable with the literal understanding of the text.

Do you believe the Ten Commandments are allegorical?
