>>14809432If you do not interpret the bible literally, then why do you follow it?
>God creating the Earth>Adam living 900+ years>Noahs ark>Moses splitting the seasYou most likely don't take these literally, you can even form neat metaphors for them to explain their significance.
>Jesus performing miracles>The resurrection>HeavenWhat about these? Do you interpret these as merely metaphor for philosophical ideas?
You cannot. The resurrection and entry into heaven is a core part of Christianity. The belief in the holiness of Jesus and his literal ability to save all of humanity is non negotiable.
If you don't interpret this aspect of the bible literally, then you have no faith in Jesus and are not a Christian.
And if you DO interpret this aspect literally... then why are you unwilling to believe the more fantastical things like Noahs Ark?
It's all or nothing, you can't pick and choose which parts you like and which parts you don't.
