Answer is no. The literal leads to BONDAGE and SLAVERY and DEATH. The Allegorical leads to FREEDOM and LIFE and ETERNITY... you choose.
Therefore Paul was compelled to write:
Rom_2:29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
The chosen of God - the Is-ra-el of God are in the Judah camped to the East.
2Co_3:6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.
Do you want death - as most of religion does - OBVIOUSLY with their choice to read on the literal or do you want life?
So you choose. I made my choice and I am not here to convince anyone to do or not to do anything. Go according to your conscience.
Shalom,
