Oh no, that's just sound "Reformed" hermeneutics!

Like how the SAME EXACT PROPHECY in the OT can be totally literal and for-Israel (the cursing part) and totally "spiritual" and for-the-Christian-Church (the blessing part) at the same time!

I have been puzzled by the blessing/cursing thing for some time now. How can they decide to literally interpret one half while allegorically interpreting the other half.

It is what you said in your article. Without a consistent hermeneutic everything becomes whim, chaos, personal fancy.
