On another message board, Catholic Answers Forums, they’re talking about the Fall and how the Catholic catechism says that the Bible uses figurative language to describe a primeval event.
How are us LCMS supposed to view all the various details in Genesis? I think we’re to view it all as literal, but is it permissive to believe in the details of Genesis as being figurative?
If not, how do we believe it all is literal when the story is so hard to believe? Or is this another case where it’s hard to believe because the events were supernatural, recorded because of that and we just aren’t used to experiencing things like that?
