Final thoughts on scripture plus poison. (Also BTW maybe my first posting was not put on because of something wrong I said so I don't have the original 3 things listed).
As to point 3; taking literal scripture to symbolic; again anothe real life example was with the book of Jonah. I was told by someone in a "Presbyterian" church when I was in Pittsburgh about 15 years ago that it wasn't a true story. That would make it symbolic at best; or spurious according to this preacher's opinion (not sure his official title maybe Bishop or elder). That was my last visit there; of course it was already showing signs of other issues at the time of liberal interpretations etc.
Going back to the original example of the church replacing Israel in all things (besides the New Covenant for now including Jews and Gentiles) and the assumption that national Israel and the many scriptures on the final fulfillment of the destiny in numerous O.T. prophecies (and some in the N.T. such as Romans 14) we have a large chunk of the Bible we have to say is symbolic despite obvious explanations and meanings to the contrary. Ezekiel 47:9; for instance on the Dead Sea having fresh water has already occurred at least partially with the discovery in recent years of fresh water springs intruding and some sea life found.
As I have mentioned before here or elsewhere there is usually not an issue with past prophecies on the FIRST coming of Christ and O.T. ones being iterally fulfilled. There are of course those who choose not to believe the Bible that make language symbolic. People like to leave things out; such as the mention of the sin of pride with Sodom and Gomorrah in Ezekiel 16:49 which ignores the obvious literal attempt at assault of the angels visiting the city recorded in the Genesis narrative and the laws in the Pentateuch on the penalties for such behavior. There are those who misapply the Bible in regard to female Pastors and others that "cherry pick" what suits them.
