Figurative language has literal significance.

Gen 3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

Death was conquered on the cross defeating Satan's dominion over man. A critical blow executed by the "seed of the woman" Jesus Christ, thus described as "bruise thy head". Jesus Christ died on the cross, however conquering death, He resurrected from the dead, described in Gen 3:15 as a non-critical blow "bruise his heel".

This literally is how it happened.

What does your interpretation of the Bible have to do with AIG making a museum full of distortions and prevarications?

I assume some passages are literal. What does that have to do with the fact that some passages are not?

And what does it have to do with the fact that we determine which is which by the simple test of whether a passage conforms to reality?
