Thanks.

I doubt that you or anyone of the remotest rational capacities construes every phrase, sentence and story in Scripture as 100% and always LITERAL.

Some things are obviously symbolic and some things are even stated as symbolic in Scripture.

Then there's context.

And, of course, perceptions and itnerpretations of context will differ amongst earnest reasonable Believers of all types.

I think it's not very . . . likely . . . that the same perceptioins will accrue across diverse individuals even within the same congregation--particularly on ALL Scriptures.

And certainly not between diverse congregations, denominations etc.

I thought you more than others would appreciate the comment.
Since you seem to take literally more than others.
