No, he wasn't literal, He told a lot of stories by parables, or stories about something and then had a meaning within it.
No, He is/was human. Why would Jesus turn water into wine when a wedding ran out of drinks? Is this saying drink up? or that Jesus liked having a good time, also?
Your choice, don't contact me about anything, but Jesus was as human as you and I are....real, and that is why He prayed so much on the mount of gesthemane (or something like that, I can't spell those words right:) Before His execution He knew what was going on in the Spiritual realm,,,,,,,He knew his death would cause millions to enter the heavens, but He also knew that His resurrection would cause people to wonder about Him as a person.
Like the Bible, don't take it literally, have fun with it and have fun with God's sense of humor......especially Moses, that poor guy, he never had the sense to tell Israel that God was in charge, not him, and they rebelled against him, so God led them around the desert for that much longer....

Basically yes, but He tended to go well beyond the literal into the deeper meaning of things.

What do you mean was he literalist? What do you mean did he take all of it liertally! If you mean his word thru scripture! yes I think he meant what he said, so in that sense I guess he did.

Jesus took the Bible plainly. He read the history parts as history, the poetry parts as poetry, etc.

Jesus promised he would send the Holy Spirit to you to witness just what he meant. Try it, ask the Holy Spirit to witness to you, you might be surprised.

There is no real way to know the answer to that question, simply because he is not here to ask. I do not now nor may I ever know what he thought, if he existed. It's impossible to know, sorry...
