Common sense.So how do you decide, and who decides what is allegorical and what isn't?The person? No. Historical.So Jesus is allegorical?No. Allegorical accounts of a shared history of everyone.The first chapter is history? You mean the story of Noah in chapter one? And some invisible dude taking 6 days to make everything?I didn't say the Bible was allegory. There are several literary styles in the Bible. Allegory is one. They are allegorical events of actual events. The first eleven chapters are the history that is common to the world.
So what's allegorical and what's not and who gets to decide? Science? When something is disproven to be possible it becomes allegorical? Like the resurrection?
We don't need to do things like that. We leave that for you.
