You got is exactly right brother: The only thing Rondonmon and Charlie think is literal is a decimated Promise land; even saying almost everything else is symbolic; but I say this, "Symbolic of What?" Like drinking Grape Juice and it turns into literal Blood? like eating bread and it turns into the literal flesh of Savior? But according to the flesh, there can be nothing greater than the Law: But did the Animal Sacrifices of Israel turn into the body and blood of Savior when eaten? So what do the scriptures say about these things?
2Co 5:16 Therefore from now on we recognize no one according to the flesh; even though we have known Christ according to the flesh; yet now, we no longer know Him in this way.
2Co 5:16 Therefore from now on we recognize no one according to the flesh; even though we have known Christ according to the flesh; yet now, we no longer know Him in this way.
1Co 15:50 Now I say this, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.
Savior says eat my flesh and drink my blood: but what does He say when reading on?:
Jhn 6:63 "It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing; the words that I have spoken to you are Spirit and are life.
Even the Body of the Sacrifice Had to be taken outside the camp.
Heb 13:11 For the bodies of those animals whose blood is brought into the holy place by the high priest as an offering for sin, are burned outside the camp 12Therefore Jesus also, that He sanctify the people through His own blood, suffered outside the gate.
1Pe 2:24 He Himself bore our sins in His own body on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness; for by His wounds you were healed.
Rom 6:10 The death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God.

We go back to Genesis and after Adam receives Eve he makes the comment how she is bone of his bone and flesh of his flesh. So from the start we can see God's divine plan. So I just find it cool in even the literal natural how God can speak to what will be a greater spiritual understanding of him and his divine plan and how Christ will end up with the glory and praise.
