You're still saying he lied. Nothing such as he described has ever happened. Like Roman Catholics, Mormons, and all the others who can't just come out and say they don't believe the Bible, you've simply found a way to quiet your conscience.
No such Temple as Ezekiel spent eight chapters describing has ever existed. You can waste the time of those who care to let it be wasted all you want with your rationalizations, and after all has been chanted and repeated, the fact will still remain: Ezekiel could not have expressed it one syllable more clearly had God been moving him to describe a literal reality. Because he was.
So extraneous consideration has just moved you not to believe him.
Dan
Not hyper-literally. Who says that Ezekiel's vision will be fulfilled literally? Ezekiel doesn't claim this; nor does the rest of the Canon.
