This sentence means nothing
Most of the verifiable validity of the Bible is historical
You can say that about any work of fiction that has historical aspect.
Look at The DaVinci Code. DaVinci was real and historical, The Vatican exists, Paris exists. Therefore using your reasoning the DaVinci Code should be taken as a literal and allegorical truth.

Do you understnad what equivocating is?
Maybe you should address the issue GM brought out about you equivocating with the words true and truth.
I just put a seal in my toilet, but that doesn't mean there is a Pinniped swimming in my toilet. The same word can have different meanings and definitions.

I guess you don't?
I will let you look up equivocation your self.
My point. Hopefully you can figure it out
Truth as I believe GM is using it
conformity with fact or reality; verity: the truth of a statement.
The definition you are equivocating it too
(often initial capital letter) ideal or fundamental reality apart from and transcending perceived experience: the basic truths of life.
She is not using a narrow definition of truth, you are trying to expand it to a totally different meaning of the word. They are , for all intents and purposes, different words. Yes they are spelled the same, yes they are pronounced the same, but they are different words with different meanings.
These are homonym's. Their definitions may be similar, but they are not the same word.
