Well; how literally is that?

When Jesus was alive -

(and I do believe that he was an historical figure, though I tend to be agnostic as to the literal truth of every bit of the entire Gospel narrative) -

there was only the Old Testament. Do you believe that he took the entire OT literally?

I'm not an agnostic and I don't believe that 'literal truth' applies to every bit of the entire Gospel narrative; either. Were the Pharisees REALLY snakes/vipers as Jesus said?

Are you trying to ask me if I am what used to be popularly known as a “Fundamentalist” about forty years ago...? (in some weird and bogus argument against the veracity of the Word of God?)
