I'm just saying that the plain text reading doesn't require any figurative language to understand it. You are the one who wants to shove in such things to make it fit your preconceived notions.

You have still done nothing to explain away the fact that never means never. If there is some overpowering reason to believe that never doesn't mean never - for whatever linguistic or cultural reasons - then present that argument.

Don't you know that the Holy Book is only Holy while it fits the (Christian) reader's doctrine and pre-conceived notions. If it doesn't, then the (Christian) reader reserves the right to change the semantics of any word or sentence (or even imply that the original author wrote something different to what they meant to convey ) until it fits his ideas .
