when is scripture literal and when is it spiritual????

I do believe Ray said that the bible is 1 BIG PARABLE.

John 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

1 Corinthians 2:13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

 I could be the only one that has noticed this but depending on the topic of the day many scripture verses have been used. Some seem to use it as meaning literally and others seem to use it as spiritually.I hope I said this right. ???

When are we to descern that it is being used literally or spiritually.According to the above scriptures the word of God is spiritual in meaning and understanding.

 I am a little confused.

Bobby,

  I just read through that paper where he mentions it.  I have relooked through the threads and come to a similar conclusion that you are.

  Thanks for posting, I will be very interested in what will be posted in this topic.

  Have a great day.

  Sincerely,



  Anne C. McGuire

Anne I thank God that I am not the only one who has noticed this. You have been a blessing to me this morning and I thank you.

 I too want to see what responses are given.

Love to you my sister and friend,

I agree.  I like to continue to seek the spiritual meaning of the Word.  The physical almost always leads to "reasoning with our own understanding" and gets us into arguments of the flesh.  Thanks.

Yes CIY I agree and I have to be honest and I have caught myself or should I say it has been revealed to me that I was tending to be doing that myself.
