If Jesus is on the throne, how can He sit on the right hand of God? (Mark 16:19). Does He sit or stand on the right hand of God? (Acts 7:55). Or is He in the Father's bosom? (John 1:18).

It is literal. When the bible using symbols and parables it is obvious.

Yes, when the Bible talks about physical body parts of God, it is always symbolic. God is a Spirit.... not a physical body.... and when it describes his right hand, it refers to the position of power. God sits on the throne... means that he is in the ultimate position of control and authority. Then when Christ ascended to heaven, Stephen saw Jesus at the Fathers right hand... meaning Jesus had assumed a position of authority in heaven with the Father. Jesus is the only part of the godhead that has a physical body. He has this because he was born into this world as a man....the god/man... and as such, he can now relate to both.
