The only scripture that Evangelicals don’t interpret literally is “If you don’t eat my body and drink my blood you have no life in you”!! Every other thing in the Bible is to be taken literally! LOL.
We do not take everything literally, of course. I’m almost certain, though that a Catholic radio host suggested we do, in that he said Catholics, unlike evangelicals, will read figures of speech as just figures of speech. This radio host knows the truth about evangelicals but misled listeners.
Now, language wise, even when one person or thing is said to be another, that does not necessarily mean that they actually are. Jesus said He is a door and a branch, and that His followers are sheep. None of that is literally true.
Jesus also was there at the Last Supper, and could have given His disciples some of His actual flesh and blood, if even in a small quantity. But that’s not what He offered them, and would they have wanted some of His actual flesh and blood?
In some spiritual sense, I believe Jesus is a door, and a vine, and that we eat His flesh and drink His blood, and we are His sheep. But it has to do with the supernatural realm, which we don’t understand much about right now.
