Much of Scripture is figurative, yet you cite it to “prove” that it is not!
Swine? Right back at ya!
You’re rationalizing. It’s figurative.
How is showing the meaning/length of a creation “day”, DIRECTLY from the bible, rationalizing? It’s not. It’s straight from the word of God.
A short quiz,.......What was Barabbas’s first name and why was important that he have that name?
“Not only was Barabbas’s first name Jesus, but his last name, Barabbas, means son (bar) of the father (abba). Jesus had always referred to himself as the Son of the Father (and his adversaries had always refused to acknowledge that he was). So now we had two men named Jesus, each a “son of the father”, but opposite fathers, it would seem. Jesus was an innocent man about to murdered, and Barabbas was a murderer about to be set free. During an incident prior to this day, Jesus, when he knew that they sought to kill him, made this statement to them:
John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him.
It would seem then, that by this coincidence, their choice between God and the devil was being reflected back at them in a magnified way.”
In Gen 5, are the ages of the generations of Adam figurative or literal?
Are you aware that no less than God With Us established a new covenant? You and the seventh day adventists should feel right comfy together. Do use have any other names by which you sign in at FR?

Guaranteed God included the 10 commandments in that covenant.
Hebrews 8:10For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
What if my Christian faith is not compatible with your Christian faith?
1 Tim 1:9 Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
It is DIRECTLY from figurative verse.
You clearly don’t understand what that means. Either that, or your faith is so weak that you have to rationalize.
The former.
It will have no effect on my life whatsoever.
Probably nothing really has.
My Christianity has.
How about Adam? Figurative or literal?
Figurative and literal.
Did Adam literally live 930 years and then die?
The theory of evolution
Clarify what is meant.
How about pi? Is it 3?
why would that matter?
The Bible tells us pi=3.
Is that literally true?
