Do you aply this method of taking things literally only to the Bible, or do you also aply it to things in your daily life?
like, for example: when a person says "i just cried my eyes out", you take him to the doctor? Ot when a person says "LMAO" you truly believe he will remain bottomless the rest of his life?
I'm gonna assume that you don't believe that, and it's probably safe to assume that you also know that all works of literature shouldn't be taken completely literally.
Then why the Bible? If is was a law book, or a scientifical book,then it would have a simple list of rules or facts. Yet, the Bible is filled with beautiful stories that should teach us about morals.
If i take every sentence from Hitler's Mein Kampf literally, i can probably even show he was a loving man. When i read the book as it is written, then it shows what a horrible man Hitler was.
So, what is your reason to take every sentence from the Bible literally?
I don't mean to offend, i'm truly curious.
