To take the Biblical words at face value is an . . . interpretation?

"Behold the lamb of God."

The minute some words are taken as figurative and others are taken "at face value", interpretation enters the picture.

From this we can see that to decide to take all or none of them "at face value" is also an interpretive act.

In everyday life, when we decide what is "figure" and what is "ground" we have interpreted.

So I answer: Yes.
