Ironside SG I quote Bible passages to prove my statements about someone asking about Bible topics. I want to show him or her that what i am saying is not my own idea but from the Bible so as not to leave doubt about the statement whether that was my own idea or from the Bible.
Chin Eng SG You are doing fine.... quoting from outside sources and the Bible is not wrong. What's jarring to the peeps is just an outright quotation with no explanation. I would not have guessed that you are not too confident in speaking English. Keep it up.
laurence82 SG Can someone explain the terms literalists and allegorists? Read it somewhere but cant remember
Chin Eng SG Maybe... Literalist - tells the story as it is...... Allergorist - use various imageries of unrelated icons to tell the same story..... no different from the parables of Jesus, and possibly the style of Revelations
