Clearly YHvH did not consider it metaphorical.

And neither were the qorbanot.

I have a very high regard for YHvH's Torah,
Just not the man-made Oral "Torah"

Considering that the Written Torah consists merely of a list of over 304,000 consonants, with nary a vowel or punctuation mark to be found, that the vowels and punctuation marks come from the "man-made" Oral Torah, and that the "man-made" Oral Torah contains the rules and regulations for accurately copying down the Written Torah, that is a very foolish statement.

I wonder where in the Written Torah you find the rules for intercalating the lunar calendar so that the festivals stay in season? So, since those rules also come from the "man-made" Oral Torah, I guess that there is no Jewish calendar and no Jewish holidays?

It's useless to converse with you so long as you adhere to your dogmas and refuse to engage in any thinking.

I sense a pride in the writing of man
which many consider superior to the Word of G-d.

When the writings of man impugn the written Word of G-d,
Rabbinism resembles the Roman church.

The Calendar can be understood as the Kareites
understand it without the additional writings
