The resurrection... clearly that is symbolic of our spiritual rebirth, but you don't expect anyone to believe that a man could literally come back from the dead, do you? The Ten Commandments... you don't think God really wrote on tablets of stone do you? How silly. Moses... You don't really believe there was a "Moses" do you? He was a compendium of several people. And all those miracles? Just exaggeration by the authors.

I suspect you are still having a problem answering the question about the grammatical-historical method of interpreting the Bible. Thus you are stuck on a hobby horse caused by your hyperliteralism.

Let me ask:

"For this is he who was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah, saying: "The voice of one crying in the wilderness: 'Prepare the way of the Lord; Make His paths straight.' " (Matt. 3:3)

Did God really intend some massive highway program in the ancient middle east to fill in the potholes and straighten out all the curvy roads? Please give us your literalist answer.

Please give us your literalist answer.

After you answer my question.

a, b, c, d, or e?

We literalists 'merely' disagree on where the symbolizers tend to draw the lines.

We disagree a lot.
