The method that God gave is the literal method, or what man has labeled the Grammatical-Historical Method.

Where is that in the Bible?

B-Chan,
I think scholars sometimes can lose people through the use of big words and complex construction of simple concepts enveloped in brilliant essays that are just so so long.

I think the author of the piece would agree that the literal method (or the other big word method) are high foolitin terms for just reading what it says without monkeying with it. By example: when you balance your checkbook, do you take the numbers as they are and add them up? You are using the literal method. That is all they are saying.

If you decide to use some other more creative method based on what you think the amounts should have been, you will eventually screw up your balance and perhaps the bank will garner your wages to pay it. This relates to your question, where it is in the Bible that it is supposed to be taken literally. All of creation as revealed by the Bible and confirmed by science follows real literal natural laws, conforms to the literal method. Curious what you think :) Where you looking for passages/references?
