I am not perfect and neither is my understanding of anything.
God, however, is perfect. When perfect God tells me something that is, from all indications, literal, I believe it.
When He speaks to me in a clear use of metaphors/parables, I will interpret accordingly.
Perhaps you have some magical way of cutting through more deeply than that. At least you think you do.
If you really have read the Bible and can't see the distinction between literal and figurative, you may have not been paying close attention or ignored the context.
Your interpretation. Your list of indications. But you are not God, and your list of indications is not the only possible list.
Once more, are you perfect?
