I understand. I wasn’t mockinhg you. Literaty transformations (water into wine at Cana, wate into blood, wine into blood, etc.) are all over the place in the Bible. Calling some “allegorical” or “metaphorical” is contrary to the factual presnetaion of these events in the Bible.

“Literaty transformations (water into wine at Cana, wate into blood, wine into blood, etc.) are all over the place in the Bible.”

At Cana, the host claimed the best wine was saved for last - not a metaphor.

Now, if the disciples at the last supper had eaten the bread and exclaimed, “Tastes like chicken (or lamb)”, THEN I would take it literally.

Context.
