Re: Against LSM's Allegorizing
Thanks for the information.
I went through a bit of it and will all of it at some point.
I know LSMers take the allegory figuratively speaking to the extreme.
However the bible does speak figuratively such as many of the parables Jesus taught.
Or the parable of the sheep and goats.
Being a Christian I am familiar with the parables in the Bible. But went I went to the local churches home meeting I was surprised at how many MORE parables and figurative messages they were drawing from the verses.
Correct me if Im wrong but a prime example that I just witnessed yesterday is.
Jesus is a greater Jonah.
They attributed Jonahs time spent in the fish as Jesus spent in "hades". Therefore Jesus is the greater jonah. Fine could be true but that sounds like reading too much into the text.
To me thats like saying God is a greater Jericho wall because they both took 7 days.
I often find their allegories don't really do anything for me.
