Oh really? And exactly where does it say that certain parts of the Holy Word of God are to be taken "metaphorically?" And who decides which parts you write off as such?
My Bible says that we are to obey every word.
Quote:
Deuteronomy 4:2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.
Matthew 4:4 Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
James 2:10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
