Why is it that the passage of the snake and eve in the garden of eden meant to be taken literally, yet jesus's command to sell everything you own is metaphorical?

Please show us which Scripture in the Holy Bible tells us that Genesis is "metaphorical."Originally posted by heyheyitsdummy View PostWhy is it that the passage of the snake and eve in the garden of eden meant to be taken literally, yet jesus's command to sell everything you own is metaphorical?

Let me tell you one other thing, you booger from Satan's nostril:Originally posted by heyheyitsdummy View PostWhy is it that the passage of the snake and eve in the garden of eden meant to be taken literally, yet jesus's command to sell everything you own is metaphorical?
No one has ever said that Jesus' command to the young rich man was metaphorical. The truth of the matter was, it was a command to him, and him alone! Because Jesus knew he had great possessions, and yes, it is difficult for those with great possessions to own them rather than to be owned by them. But this is never a problem for True Christians(TM) because as Jesus said,
Matthew 19 (AV1611 King James Bible)
23Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. 24And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
25When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?
26But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
So you see, my feeble-minded, weak-willed, limp-wristed, God-hating, fool of fools, YOU DO NOT KNOW GOD OR THE BIBLE! So anticipate burning in a lake of fire, where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched, while you are forced to watch us eat peeled delectable grapes from the hands of cherubim!
In Christ
Warren
