Nevertheless, I also believe there can be deeper meanings in passages that are literal. For example, I believe that there really existed a person named Moses, and that they really did kill a lamb and put the blood on the door posts, etc. That passover lamb, however, also carries meaning in pointing to Jesus as our sacrifice. Some people would argue that it doesn't matter whether the story is real and literal, but I think history is very important in that only God can speak through history. Men can make up stories, but God is the only one who can orchestrate historical events, the rise and fall of nations, etc.

He is fully human and fully God. Jesus was God manifest in the weak and corruptible flesh of man, and now he is resurrected with an immortal body which is incorruptible. Those men and women who believe in him will experience being clothed with the same immortality and incorruptible nature. Peace be with you.
