Why?
So your question is not a fair question and you should know that
if you had read the Bible. I advise you to read the Holy Bible
before you start asking questions on the contents. Wouldn't you
do the same before asking guestions on the contents of any other
book. It makes you look foolish to ask questions when you have
very little idea what is written in the book. It was like the time
I was standing before my teacher attempting to give a book report
on "The Red Badge of Courage" when I had not really read the
book. I had no idea how to answer her questions. I was a fool.

Originally posted by RJHindsWell I have read it. You appear to be claiming that the bible itself says which of its own parts are meant to be taken literally and which parts are not. Do you stand by this or are you backing away from it?
What I told Wolfgang59 also applies to you. Read all of it and you will
not have to ask foolish questions. I am getting tired of answering them.

immoral persons and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part will
be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second
death.” (Revelation 21:8 NASB)

Where does the bible itself say which of its own parts are meant to be taken literally and which parts are not to be taken literally?
