The things you list are specifically called parables. Yes there are parables in the old testament, and they re often stated to be parabolic. Off the top of my head I'm thinking of the parable of the vinyard and the wild olives.
I think there is a big difference.

Your notion that Jesus Christ "endorsed" your opinions here is as exaggerated as your claim that:
"Did David really kill a lion and a bear with his bare hands?"
... be taken literally. C'mon Jason, you made that one up. Nowhere does the Bible even hint at such an event. David's statement (
1 Samuel 17:34-36) make such a braggadocio claim of "with bare hands..."
You exaggerate what the Bible does say and then you demand that everyone accept your wild claims as if they were the actual words of divine writ. And now you offer the wildly exaggerated claim that Jesus Christ "endorses" your methodology?
