Almost all of the stuff in the Bible did happen. The parables didn't happen, but it doesn't read the parables from a first person point of view. It usually says "Jesus proceeded to tell the assembled the story of a mustard farmer". While the mustard farmer may have been completely made up, the fact that Jesus told the people about a made up mistard farmer is not; he did tell them. So, what the Bible says is true.
Ok i'll admit, not everything in the Bible is a metaphor but many of the tales are representing a lesson and metaphors are very easy to get wrong.[/QUOTE]How much of the Bible have you actually read Dagorion?
