@kellyjay saidI think a divine being should have done a better job of making clear what was and was not a metaphor.
Jesus saying He a door is a metaphor he does not also have a door knob and hinges making it both real and a metaphor, telling us God can move mountains was I believe a metaphor, however, that one He could do, so both are true, you are making much of something quite a little. Not sure why you'd talk about it more often than when you bring up science and cannot explain reality ...[text shortened]...
John 10:7
So Jesus again said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.
@ghost-of-a-duke saidWe suppress truth when we stand before God who is truth, what we were exposed to and how and why we did what we did will be revealed. None of us will have any excuses and everything will be made known, nothing done or said in secret will not be revealed.

@kellyjay saidSuggestig over and over again, as you do, that not believing the same things as you do is "suppressing the truth" is just low-grade propagandizing and not-in-good-faith conversation.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidBefore we move on....That which FMF did was to call KellyJay out in open, public forum, regarding a fundamental change of stance on the 'literal/metaphoric' question, which is there for all to see who wish to see it, and all are free to comment. That which you did was to imply accusation against somebody for doing something which you were 'pretty certain' that they did, with no evidence to back up the implied accusation.
Great. Let's move on then.
The two things are completely different, and cannot and should not be compared, one against the other.
@indonesia-phil saidBig stinking deal, FMF claims I have been doing this I deny it, he accuses anyway, he can say whatever he wants his words are meaningless as far as I'm concerned. If you have something to bring to my attention that is in the context I say them go for it.

@kellyjay saidPerhaps your communication problem is rooted in your inarticulacy and pridefulness rather than any "big stinking deal" regarding those who take the time to read your inconsistent screeds.

You may be braying that my "words are meaningless" but I think it is merely a symptom of your inability to process disagreement and to reattach your wheels after your lamentable disintegration in 2022. Nevertheless, I would never cop out and bray that your "...words are meaningless as far as I'm concerned". It's too petulant and furtive to my way of thinking; I would be selling myself short.
