* Should the new heavens and earth in Isaiah 65:17 be taken literally? How should we decide? See Literal and Figurative Creation in the Bible.
* Matthew 10 - Do we take the unclean spirits, diseases and infirmities literally? On what criteria should we decide? If Jesus' comparisons with sheep, wolves, serpents and doves are not to be read literally, how can we take them as implying a literal reading of the serpent in the Garden of Eden, or Noah's dove? See here.
* See Bro Alan Eyre's comments about Matthew 10:29, as well as Matthew 6:26 etc., here — "This is far beyond science. This takes real faith . . . " Do you agree with him about God's intention to convey "deeper spiritual truths" in Genesis?
