⁣As someone who has attended church since before I could walk, in a
family comprised entirely of devout Christians, and having read the
Bible cover to cover it has become increasingly clear to me that these
holy scriptures were meant to be taken symbolically, not literally or
historically. Things like talking snakes and bushes, virgins giving
birth, eating the body of Christ, staffs turning into serpents, and many
other biblical “miracles” are all actually ancient spiritual
symbolisms, found in many cultures/traditions around the world,
thousands of years older than the Bible, referring to psychological
phenomena, not historical events. Of course snakes and bushes cannot
talk, of course virgins cannot give birth, Christ isn’t a cannibal,
wooden staffs cannot turn into living serpents, water cannot magically
turn into wine, breads/fish cannot magically manifest from the aether,
and humans cannot survive for days inside whale’s bellies.

2 Corinthians 3:6 clearly says the scriptures should NOT be read literally. Matthew 13:34
says Jesus never spoke unless it was in parables. He said people who
took the word literally were like those who looked but could not see!
Modern fundamentalist Christians who read the Bible literally with their
over-active left-brains are missing the whole point. The reason Jesus
cast nets to the right side, sits on the right side of God, and builds
the door to the temple on the right side, is because he is leading us
out of our lower left brains and into our holistic, symbolic, higher
brain on the right.

The following full-length documentary
featuring Eric Dubay, Pastor Bill Donahue, Pastor Ray Hagins, and John
St. Julien explores the many esoteric symbolic hidden meanings in the
Bible and sheds light on the deeper and more personal and practical
wisdom hiding behind the church's literal interpretations.
