Literal Symbolism

This week, Joel & Eric talk about taking text and scripture text literally vs metaphorically.

Here are a few examples that they use to “break open” (metaphorically, of course) this topic :)

• Do not put a stumbling block before the blind. (Leviticus 19:14)
• Do not boil a kid in its mother’s milk (Exodus 23:19)
• Do not lie with a male as one does with a woman (Leviticus 18:22)
• All men are created equal

They also talk about hamburgers, Supreme Court justices, Star Wars, and Joel’s continued inability to get an Xbox.

*Note: Joel's Mic settings were a bit off this episode. Apologies for the odd sound behind his voice, and promises to do better in Season 2!
