Re: Some standing here

But the metaphorist says...

2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the Church, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the Church were for the healing of the nations.

The metaphorist just committed a lie.

27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Roman armies be.....

35 Temple and Jews shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

But the metaphorist says...

10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the Temple shall pass away with a great noise, and the Jewish Law shall melt with fervent heat, the Jews also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,

12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the Temple being on fire shall be dissolved, and the Jewish Law shall melt with fervent heat?

Re: Some standing here

It's ok. I get what you are saying. (I think) If it is connected to or proceeding from a body, it is literal, but if the body is just standing in it or just touching something, it is a sign.

I was just curious how you can take one word in a verse and make it a sign, and another word in the same verse as being literal.

I was sure you had a method to your madness (figure of speech) (or was it a metaphor? IDK) and just was curious as I couldn't see a consistent method.

Did you notice that after you asked your question concerning the Sean's interpretive method, he blew a socket? He goes seven posts without making himself clear concerning his method of interpretation? Does anyone else notice this?

Yes. One thing he did not say, that I noticed anyway, was in deciding what might be literal or symbolic was from searching the scriptures themselves to see what they may say on the subject, which is why, I believe, his interpretive method gets so...so...interesting.

Re: Some standing here

LOL , when I read a verse in Rev., and it is showing a sign, I use the sign to clarify the verse itself.
