Why would you consider the horses (and stables for them and maybe someone to clean the stables...all this in heaven!) literal but that sword not?

What would make you believe that Jesus would have a literal sword coming out of His mouth? And what on earth makes you think anything needs to be cleaned in Heaven? Where, if at all, did you get your Bible instruction?

You made the assertion of literalness, it's really up to you to show why. Making a statement and then demanding others disprove it is a no-no.

Actually, you expressed doubt about part of the Word of God and it is up to you to prove that your doubt is well-founded. The fact that I shot down that doubt and proved, once again, that the Scripture as God wrote it is inerrant and absolutely true and proved your doubt to be completely without merit puts no obligation on me at all.

If you want to show that God's word has contradictions and errors and cannot be trusted, it's up to you to prove your point.

I already proved mine.

If you’re going to say the horses are literal then by what means do you determine that another detail isn’t? So why should one be literal and the other not.

Horses have digestive tracts, they eat and defecate, and unless you are going say these don’t then heaven is going to get quite messy.
That is where confusing the literal with the symbolic leads.

I did not express doubt about Gods’ word, only your what you say it indicates.
