All words have meanings, and most words have several meanings if not many meanings. So why is anyone so absolutely sure of what most of the sentences in the Bible actually mean? If those who us the word literal actually mean reading the Bible by understanding some exact meaning of the words, then who gets to pick and choose what words really mean that are in the Bible.
If on the other hand a person decides on there own what passages in the Bible mean, then I have no argument in that case. But if you were taught in church what the passages mean, that which someone else says is the meaning, they have a right to that opinion. But like any opinion, it is not a universally accepted meaning of those words. So maybe you should stop preaching for a minute or two based on some preacher opinion.
After all, one of Jesus's main ideas is that a person can and should have a personal relationship with God. In other words, you don't need a church or a preacher to tell you the story of Jesus.
