I told you what Col 1:24 says in its proper context - servants of Christ will suffer on this earth in order to futher the Gospel message.That is your interpretation and going by the clear text min is at least as valid>

By what authority do you claim your interpretation is any more valid? Mine makes more sense then yours does, and the literal meaning of each word validates my point more taqhtn yours.

What does the clear literal meaning of Hebrews 9:12 say? Why won’t you offer an interpretation for that verse?

Tell me if these verses are literal or a metaphor Matt. 26:26-28 While they were eating, Jesus took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and giving it to his disciples said, "Take and eat; this is my body." 27 Then he took a cup, gave thanks, 16 and gave it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you, 28 for this is my blood of the covenant, which will be shed on behalf of many for the forgiveness of sins.

not interested in your games.....

I was hoping to have a serious discussion on Bible verses, but it seems you would rather obfuscate. You don’t seem willing to stay on topic of the sufficiency of the atonement, when I asked about Hebrews 9:12.

The Bible must be interpreted in its proper context. There are times when the context calls for a literal meaning and other times when the context is clearly figurative.
