Yes!

When God was talking literally He made it pretty obvious. The Bible gives the story of Noah as an account of history, not a parable, although it is a type of being saved in Christ.

You are right in saying the so-called “eucharist” is not literal food. He said “Do this in remebrance of me”, not cannibalising me.

In the O.T. He said about the lamb in Exodus 12:11: “It is the Lord’s passover” This is not any more or less literal than “This is my body”, in which case He was talking about the group of gathered believers, which is the body of Christ.

The Bible is full of the literal and the figurative, and prayerful reading and study clarify the confusion. A

Absolutely! Those that go for all figurative or all literal miss quite a bit.
