The Laziness of Biblical Literalism: Re: Re: Re: Literalist = Literal? A question....

In response to Re: Re: Literalist/Fundamentalist posted by Satirie:

question about; literalists, or literal.. or, maybe, fundamental?

Heb:11:7: By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house;

#1 Did Noah build an ark, to save his *house*?
#2 Did Noah build an ark, for the *saving of*...?
#3 Did Noah build an ark, to save *his* house?

Hmmm.....

Now, as a person who believes the literal word of God, I know that Noah, built an ark, to save those OF (within) his house.. i.e., wife, sons, and their wives... How do I know this? Well, because elsewhere, it says so... That is literal... fundamentally speaking, of course...

Yet, here is another example:

Revelation 12:4: And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.

Well, seriously, if a third of the stars were cast to the earth, I am certain that there could be no record of this, nor even an earth.. so then, that cannot be... literally... and fundamentally. Even, Liberally this cannot be... So then...

Well.. need I say more?? ___W
