I’m in Texas, but I’m taking 3 full summer courses for Nursing, so I have 3-6 exams, 8 hw assignments, and 30+ pages of reading to do weekly, so I’m swamped and burnt out with everything rn and I don’t have the mental energy to continue the debate, ya feel?
So sorry everybody, but I have gotten too busy with school to continue the debate. When I started the debate, I did not anticipate my school getting as bad as it has and I apologize for that :(
I believe you may be misunderstanding my last reply, those literary themes are the examples I am giving for places where the Bible says specific things are NOT meant to be taken literally.
When I say that, I am specifically referring to parables and metaphors, among other common literary themes throughout all of the Bible. Because the Bible tells us when text is meant literally, metaphorically, or symbolically.
I wholeheartedly agree on that stance as well. The only time we should not take what is written literally is when we are specifically told that what is written is not literal, aka a parable or other similar literary devices.
I am more than willing to drop the Solas off of the argument, the reason I added that is due to the fact in my previous debates over this topic, they always get brought up anyways, so I figured I might as well address it in the description, just in case it came up.
Sorry if this sounds dumb, but how do I do that?

Updated the description for you! I completely understand your opinion and belief on that and adjusted the debate accordingly!
But other than that, how well did I do with the description overall? Its my first time on this website and I would greatly appreciate any feedback!
Sorry for the late responses everybody! I am most active at this time of night!
