Catholics will have a problem with this as they view Genesis as symbolic.
Name a Catholic that views Genesis as symbolic??? You have NO idea of what you are talking about.
RE: Catholics will have a problem with this as they view Genesis as symbolic.
How does that work?
I’m sure Catholics ( the devout ones at least ) believe that marriage is between a man and a woman.
If Genesis is symbolic, then Jesus’ statement about marriage, which refers to Genesis, can be taken as symbolic as well.
“Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female, and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh? So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.” — Matthew 19:4-6
Then we have the genealogy of Jesus mentioned in the gospel of Luke, which traces Jesus’ ancestry all the way to Adam.
Those are symbolic too?
How can it be when it starts with His LITERAL father, Joseph?
