Of course I do. I believe it uses many devices - literal accounts of some historical events, but also metaphor and parable.

For example, Jesus didn’t tell u to expect a Samaritan to help you if you get mugged and beaten and left for dead on the side of the road.

Rev 13:16-17
16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
KJV

That doesn’t read much like a parable to me.
