What you are trying to say, without succeeding, is that most of the Bible is allegorical and refer to the metaphysical. Some of it certainly is. Most is not. There is nothing allegiorical or metaphysical in the passages in question:
20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, offering up Isaac his son upon the altar? 22 Seest thou, that faith did co-operate with his works; and by works faith was made perfect? 23 And the scripture was fulfilled, saying: Abraham believed God, and it was reputed to him to justice, and he was called the friend of God. 24 Do you see that by works a man is justified; and not by faith only?(James 2)
54 ... Amen, amen I say unto you: Except you eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, you shall not have life in you. 55 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath everlasting life: and I will raise him up in the last day. 56 For my flesh is meat indeed: and my blood is drink indeed.
(John 6)
Didn't I just say that?..
You really need to read the entire passage if you want to put this quote in context. If you want to parse and snip you can easily misinterpret the meaning of anything.
