If you’re Christian, do you really believe in the stories or are they just to teach you lessons? For example, do you really think Jonah was swallowed by a whale or that Noah actually put all those animals on the ark?

Some of them are real, some of them are metaphors, some of them mean something else or are trying to teach a lesson/moral

Not a christian but if you believe your god is all-powerful and can do literally anything it seems weird to cherry pick which parts of the book you believe and which parts you call metaphorical. It looks bad on yall when the book says something happened and yall go "nah i don't believe it, it's too hard for my guy, must be a metaphor"

What makes you prefer one hypothesis (massive flood) over the widely accepted one? (changing water levels and tectonic plates)
