Can you find me a quote?

2) I like how you "know" that if a person claims "that a writer is using a metaphor" that they are mistaken or lying. Being that the oldest known bible was written many years after the death of Jesus (60ish), how do you know what the author's meant?
Actually, this is not entirely correct, unless of course you are speaking strictly of the New Testament. Then of course, you would be very close to what is thought to be the writings of most of the books of the New Testament.

Sadly enough, this is also correct. There are thousands of people all over the world, who claim to be "Christian", but who are nothing more than religeous people practicing their own brand of religeon. Thank you for this honest and challenging post.
