Bible Note: Greetings Biblicalman! I haven't read all of this thread yet, but I did want to respond to your point about 'literalism'. 'Literalism' does not mean that there cannot be figures of speech, or hyperbole's, or poetic language. This is a common misunderstanding about being literal. Taking a literal approach to Scripture simply means that Scripture means what it says. If a passage is poetry, it should be read as poetry. If a passage is a metaphor, it should be read as a metaphor, ect.... Thus, in the instance that you have cited (Is. 2), one could argue that Isaiah is simply using poetic language to describe the exaltation of God's temple and His worship over all of the arrogance of fallen man. This would fit well with Is. 2:17 - " The arrogance of man will be brought low and the pride of men humbled; the LORD alone will be exalted in that day," Of course, it is certainly possible that God could raise the mountain upon which the temple is place above all other mountains. He is certainly able to do that! ;-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
