where do believers make the distinction between what parts of the bible to take literally and what parts not to, and why?
​
My contention is the biblical writings are so open to interpretation that it has caused the many sects within the primary faith itself.

This topic is not promotable as written. Perhaps it needs to evolve.

Delete the "question to self" portion and I'll promote it.
