Do you think God literally hopped on a cloud and rode down to Egypt and kicked over their idols?Is that what God inspired Isaiah to write??? Yes??? Well of course I believe it then...
What motive do you have for not believing God???
So none of the prophets, nobody who wrote the inspired scriptures, ever used metaphor or simile? The scriptural text is "flat".
Not like you guys think...For you, the entire book of Revelation is a metaphor...
Aside from the historical accounts, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, ALL the minor prophets, Psalms and most of the rest of the books are a metaphor to you guys...
You are bound and determined to 'bring in the Kingdom' FOR Jesus so you have to try to eliminate any reference to a future kingdom that is plastered all over the Bible...
The book I read says Holy Bible on the cover...I suspect yours says 'Holy Metaphor'...
