I get you. I used to believe that pretty much everything in the Bible was to be taken literally.
The more time I spend reading scripture, praying and researching history, archaeology, science, etc., I think that a literal interpetation puts God in a box that is limited by man’s imagination and the extent of his knowledge. My God is all powerful, all knowing, and all seeing. So I decided that all things are possible. I will consider all things in light of what God’s word says about them and prayerfully seek answers and confirmations from God about their legitimacy.
That said, yes, some visual imagery in the Bible has been amazingly accurate.
I think I understand your perspective.
Thanks for your kind response.
I may be on the other side of your perspective . . . say your perspective is a circle, I’m on the other side of that circle. . . . perhaps.
