Assuming you believe that the bible is indeed the word of God, do you have any heuristics for where you draw the line between literal and metaphorical interpretations of the text? E.g., I saw that you said you believe in miracles but not transubstantiation and I wonder about how you personally make those kind of distinctions.
Well, I use some of my own interpretations and SOME observations from scholars, without partivular choosings. For exaple, how can Jesus be made out of literal bread? Answer: he isn't. He's a human. That's the whole point.
