HaaaHaaaaa...If the scriptures aren't literal, why did God have them written...Practicing a comedy routine??? Or maybe his bible was pretty light and he needed some filler material...
You crack me up...
The bible does not describe itself - the Catholic bishops defined what the bible consists of, and the man Luther deleted a dozen books 1500 years later.
Catholics at least claim the authority that Luther himself exercised. Oddly enough you recognize both the Catholic bishops’ authoritative definition of the New Testament and Luther’s authoritative definition of the Old Testament. Sucker.

>>That’s what you get wearing blinders. After all, what is or is not Biblical is a matter of personal taste.

The School of Antioch wasn’t influenced by Nominalist reasoning unlike that undergirding your theology.
And your way of thinking has nothing in common with St. John Chrysostom who was probably the most famous orthodox Antiochene theologian.
The Syriac fathers also were among the ones who pushed the hardest for the literal interpretation of Matthew 16:18, which your sect rejects.
