[Literal sense or symbolic sense of the scriptures]

Thank for all of your contributions, guys !

We use to say that the scripture are "true". But in what sense?

If it is in any one of this sense, saying that they are true is true...

But, really what sense is the most important?

The only one who can help us understand really our God, is, of course, the symbolic.

Because it is said :

Proverbes 25:2 ¶It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.

So, if we read the scriptures searching to be sure that the events really occured, aren't we trying to look for proof ? Instead or using our faith to understand what is behind the story.

What do you think of this?
