Can the bible be taken literaly ?

[kahljorn]

I think you either need to take the entire bible literally, or none of it. I notice people like to pick and choose what to take "Metaphorically" and what to take literal, but that's Okay. The people who are likely doing this aren't going to be a theological expert anytime if their lifetime.

It is true that there are alot of historical "Facts" in the bible, but there are just as many myths and even more things that are just out of place. For example, the birth of christ occured in "0 bc", but the reign of herod ended in 4bc. If you read the bible I believe the three wisemen from the east were being chased by him, and herod was also looking for little Ieshua.
