The Year

[BLBereans]

Would you also "tend to suspect" the allegorical view over a literal view of the Crossing of the Red Sea account?

No.

Neither would I believe that a man will literally move a physical mountain like Mount Everest. The point is to discern when and where allegory is used and when it is not.

Michael Joseph sees allegory EVERYWHERE where you seem to see it rarely if ever. I fall somewhere in the middle, depending upon each instance - a case by case basis.

I certainly do see allegory - the 7 Annual Holydays are allegories and TYPES of what will LITERALLY occur.

I accept allegories that are based on past and future LITERAL EVENTS... that help explain their true significance to us.

Allegories based on IMAGINATION AND SPECULATION are to be "cast down".
