Thank you for your response. I do consider myself a ‘Christian’, though I obviously don’t read the Bible in the same way that you do.

(As an aside, I also don’t understand your antagonism toward Masonry, having known many Masons myself who were fine men and whose lives, both religious and secular, were enlightened by that philosophy; but I’m not immediately concerned with your fantasies/delusions regarding that particular subject.)

Just out of curiosity: How much of the Bible do you take literally, and how much symbolically; and how do you determine the difference?

For instance, how do you interpret Matthew 5:29-30; or Mark 11:23?

We are to take the Bible as literally as Jesus did. Or Paul
