Some stories and verses from the Bible are not taken literally, can we apply that on God?

[ANV]

Many verses from the Bible apply that God is some sort of energy and quality and not a personal being. Could God be non literal?

Non-literal would be non-existent. Why even mention the Name? Man/woman/human/personkind has a very limited ability to express the essence and meaning of God, and just as little ability to comprehend. God is pure spirit - thus, we have writings that mention hands, arms, wings and other material objects that are simple analogies which attempt to provide some level of understanding of the Divine existence.

 

[Wesrock]

Scripture is itself God’s own self-revelation to man and a record of His covenants with man. It addresses much about who God is, beyond just what He is. It becomes useless if God is not real.

You can … that doesn’t mean that you’d be right.

The other Topic about God is getting too long winded, so I guess you needed a new beginning!

Literal and metaphorical converge as one, when the subject is big.
