Hi !4
You said.
"P.S. Chris, I suggest as far as the book of revelations: It's not meant to be taken literally, it's symbolic, and it's value lays in the symbolism, not the literalism."

Yes but who put it in the bible in the first place !4?
And what were we supposed to take from it?
Scholars have debated and argued about it since forever, what chance have I got of understanding it?

As you know I see it simply, I do my best to follow the first two commandments and in humility I trust in God to keep me right. He has done great so far.

Anyway the book you suggested is ordered and I will read it open minded.
With love
Chris
