[QUOTE="Mike Flynn, post: 1247061, member: 13527"] Are these scriptures supposed to justify a literal interpretation of scripture? All they really say is that the phrophets and the writers communicate God's word as it has been revealed to them by God. If God chose to communicate using metaphorical imagery to phrophets and writers, then these scriptures say nothing to invalidate this position. Jesus Himself shows us that God is not above the use of metaphor. By adhering to a literal interpretation of scriptures its *possible* that some Christians have been interpreting the text incorrectly by mistaking metaphorical imagery communicated by God for historical events. Isn't this at least possible? [/QUOTE]
