| Q: | Do you take the Bible literally?? If the Bible says Jesus cast out demons, do you believe they were real demons? | ||||||
| A: | The answer to the second question is "Yes." The answer to the first question is "No." Taking the Bible "literally" would mean that there is no figurative language in the Bible. We read the Bible according to its context. If it says something is a figure or a parable, we take it as such. If it says it is a literal, historic event, we take it as such. Jesus miracles are treated as real events not parables. | ||||||
