On Literally Believing the Bible

 I think it's physically His blood and body. I'm a firm believer in Transubstantiation. And I think many saved Christians were saved believing the Old Testament wasn't literal. Augustine wrote a chapter about that in his confessions. The same arguments have been circulating since the beginning, and there are legitimate expressions of the faith that don't include literally believing Genesis. In my personal opinion, I think God's omnipotent, so what of it? He formed Eve from Adam's rib and turned water into wine. Why can't God create the world in 6 days, and also 6,000,000,000,000 years? Like, a computer programmer will create their world onscreen differently than the player experiences it in a video game. Or a painter, too, creates the painting in a different order than we experience it. It's no different for God and Adam and Eve. And the Flood actually has a lot of evidence backing it up, that it actually happened.
