Re: Biblical Literality

This is fundamental problem with using the bible.

If it's literal and absolute... it's horrifying.

If it is ANYTHING less, it's worthless. Bottom line, the authority of the bible resides on the belief that it is the word of god. Ok... then what gives anyone to right to decide when god was being literal versus when he was being metaphorical? ANY interpretation is just completely subjective.
