Great Post!!
The language of scripture is Figurative, Symbolic and Literal. The Figurative is explained by the context, the Symbolical either in the context or somewhere else in the Scriptures, and the rest should be taken literally. Its all about rightly dividing the Word.
Blessings to you!!
Thank you sir. It can't be one of the other, so we have to examine all of the scriptures without question, and prayerfully seek it out in Christ.
