That's the problem. The Bible doesn't represent itself as allegory or metaphor. The authors who wrote the Bible took these stories as fact. You have to take the Bible as it's written. If you open it up to interpretation, then it's practically useless
Quoting: Green Witch Perhaps only for those without eyes to see, they who have a distorted perspective. (that distortion would be that everything is 100% fact as written with no metaphor or allegory). Are you sure the actual authors took the stories as fact, or the readers down the track without the additional information/ability to see the meaning? (intentionally withheld or not, lost or hidden, etc.) I know we can't be sure of that, we weren't there. Worth considering though. I'm sure you know quite well that it wouldn't be the first book or document that has esoteric meaning throughout, or mixed in with facts. Interesting thoughts. Could the Bible be speculative fiction? I think it's similar to other mythologies, historical facts interwoven with ideals of a belief system, lessons, etc. Presented in such a way so as to be more easily absorbed by the masses. Actual people being real? Many of them yes, and noted historically elsewhere, all of them? all of the events exactly as written? Possibly not. I could take this further and get in to the nitty gritty which will definitely attract some killers with the cross... perhaps not the time. I'm not very awake despite it being lunchtime. Moar covfefe! yeah me too. I don't really feel like fending off torches and pitchforks https://imgur.com/G2tFudN https://imgur.com/f6rBf4Y
