[quote=Anonymous]Here's the thing I don't get about Christians who read the Bible literally: If you follow the Bible, then you *know* God uses metaphors -- Jesus uses them over and over again in the New Testament. So I don't get why it seems like a Big Heretical Thing to say that elements of the Old Testament could be metaphor as well. Also, if you know the history of the assembly of the bible, you know it was assembled by people. I'm sure they prayed over their choices, but the fact that they had various councils and debates over which books to include implies there wasn't perfect unanimity -- which you would think there would be, if God was giving direct input into the final selection. So there's definitely some room for error there, I think (unlike, say, the Quran, which claims to be the verbatim word of God, as recited by Gabriel). [/quote]
