[[To say the bible is 100% literal is obvious wrong and maybe even a lie.. sometimes..]]
I never made such a statement- infact, I said hte bible is pretty clear about which are metaphors, which are alegorical, whiich are literal- the links I gave in previous posts point out how we can take all God’s word to determine hwich passages are literal, and why they are literal. As well, things liek Christ, and indeed Peter, walking on water were witnessed by folks who related the vevents, and we have no reason to doubt hteir recountign of hte events
[[Jesus talked of eating his flesh and drinking his blood,]]
This is an obvious metaphor- literally.
I’m asking, if we can’t take eye witness accounts such as Jesus walking on water as literal truth, or Jesus restoring sight to blind people, or raising htem fro mthe dead, or the idea that days meant just that- days, and not long ages, as literal, then God’s word becoems meaningless, because we are made subject to people’s subjective itnerpretation which renders literal truths to be metaphors instead. Again, God’s word is very specific about which sayings were metaphorical, and which were literal- but ‘progressives’ want us to think that much of hte literals in God’s word are really nothign more than metaphors open to interpretation- but hte bible itself refutes thse claims, and one can only take literal issues and turn them into metaphorical ones by twisting hte word, and stretchign meanings beyond their itnended purposes.
you are correct, the Hebrew does use many instruments, BUT, it is also a VERy precise language, and a VERY careful language- and htose making out literalisms to be metaphors MUST ignore this precision, and assign incorrect values to isolated words in order to do so, and MUST ignore the precision of those isolated words elsewhere in God’s word.
Unless you were there, there is no there there..
In that case you are bound to faith in "the words"..
I believe its possible and maybe even true too.. (walking on water)
But Jesus miracles holds no candle to a daily walk in faith/spirit..
I don't believe in miracles, I rely on them..
