I feel what the I says. Allow me to explain as best as I can translate from my native tongue. I see the bible in two ways a literal and a more allegorical taking. Of cousre I know certain things are historical events and yet there is a much more deeper side to the story. Example Adam and Eve to me were real humans that lived in Africa as well as being an allegory to why I fall from grace, like the question I ask myself is "what forbidden fruit did I eat to fall", of course not a real fruit but an expression for a selfish desire. I always try to apply bibical stories to myself to see where do I relate. Reading the "Third Testament the Ilected words of HIM " inspire I to seek the truth from the Ible be it literal or mystical. InI hope this explains why I see the ible in two ways.
