You are right bunny the message is everything....The additional details I have provided are to strenghthen your faith and to help you keep watch...Those that doubt the message now have more information on their search for truth...Christianity is not a fairy tale...

Probably the reason some of these details are so obscured is because of the paramount importance of the message ....still things like the Israelites going into Babylonian exile...that is actual history...Nebuchadnezzar is an actual Babylonian king...The bible is littered with history...There's alot of archaeology study going on now too on Biblical story sites...

Yeah, because if there's anything that approximate historicity is an indicator of, it's definitely metaphysical infallibility. U R SO SMART.

OK, you guys are making me crazy. I'd tend to take "literal interpretation" as an oxymoron.
I'm interested in just what "..some " literal interpretation means.

carry on, luckyme

If I were to interpret you literally, I would take it to mean that you just accused us of causing you to be afflicted with a mental illness. By interpreting you partly literally and partly figuratively, I expect you mean that you are shaking your head sadly, wondering how anyone can go through these mental gymnastics in the modern age and wishing you could find some way to banish such mysticism.

Clarify at all?

Are you going to answer any of the questions you were asked? The point of starting a thread here is to discuss something, do you have anything to discuss? You seem to be preaching more than anything.
