Steverino-- I finally do understand where you are coming from with your question ... I didn't know what you had in mind until you posted those verses ... I'll answer you with a question ... Have you ever used the terms "sunset" or "sunrise" ?? If so, does this mean that you think the sun is moving around the earth instead of vice versa? |
Wow, it looks like something finally got through to Dave. And I thought he'd never admit the folly of a literal interpretation of the Bible. That's excellent progress, Dave my boy!
Now I want you to try expanding on that concept. Meditate on this question: how can you tell the difference between literal and figurative passages in the Bible?
