Perhaps because some people erroneously believe the entire Bible is parables. Or perhaps because some people believe the Bible is spiritual but not literal.
I know that you are not here to seek for the truth.
You are here just to contradict my sharing because I shared that God is speaking in parables (Psalms 78:2 & Ezekiel 20:49)
And so the Lord Jesus too (Mark 4:34).
What I shared is not from me. It comes from God who asked the Prophets & Disciples to wrote it for him.
Therefore, it is not me who is you are contradicting but God the Father and the Lord Jesus.
That is why your understanding is in reverse..
Because the true answer is the people belief that the holy bible is in literal physical and not spiritual.
If they believe that the words of God is in Spiritual then, they will not go to bible schools or in seminaries to have the wisdom from God.
They will just humble themselves and asked God's Mercy.
The very example of this is Saul of Tarsus. He studied in a bible school to Gamaliel.
And he learned that the pusihment is in literal physical
This is what happened when the recognition of Saul of Tarsus to Jesus was not a revelation from the Father.
DEUTORONOMY 13:8-11
8 Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him:
9 But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people.
10
And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die; because he hath sought to thrust thee away from the Lord thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
11 And all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall do no more any such wickedness as this is among you.
ACTS 7:58-59
58 And cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man's feet,
whose name was Saul.
59
And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.
But when Saul humble himself and the recognition to Jesus was a revelation from the Father (Matthew 16:15-17). He became Paul.
What he learned from the bible school from Gamaliel (in literal physical meaning) he throwed them all.
PHILIPPIANS 7:7-8
7 But what
things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.
8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and
do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,
How did Paul learned and he wrote almost the entire books in New Testament?
Paul followed what Jesus revealed to James.
JAMES 1:5-8
5
If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
And so Paul humble himself and asked for God's Mercy and he had wisdom from the Lord Jesus.
GALATIANS 1:11-12
11 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.
12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it,
but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
Remember, Jesus and Paul did not meet personally. Because when Paul became an apostle Jesus is already in heaven.
Therefore our situation right now is just the same situation as Paul. We are on earth and Jesus is in heaven. But he still teach us if we humble ourselves same as Paul.
Then this is what Paul shared to us.
ROMANS 7:14
14
For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
