I did a search on a literalist approach to the scripture, and even the Catechism of the Catholic Church emphasizes that the literal sense of Scripture must be established first, as all other spiritual senses are based upon it.
Which is understandable as Paul said,
1 Cr 3:1 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, as unto babes in Christ. I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.
In contrast with 1 Cr 2:13
1 Cr 2:13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
And AI even agrees with all the above
The process of comparing spiritual things with spiritual, as referenced in 1 Corinthians 2, involves using the reason and the guidance of the Holy Spirit to understand the deeper truths of Scripture, which goes beyond a mere literal reading. The ability to compare spiritual things with spiritual is considered by some theological traditions to be beyond the scope of a literalist approach.
I couldnt find the word "literally" that you used in the scripture.
See? even AI says, " The word "literal" does not appear in the Bible"
Can you provide the word literal in the bible (chapter verse)?
When talking to you concerning your opinion I was forced to look outside the scripture to find others who speak of this literal thing that
since Paul spake of spiritual things with spiritual.
It was the non bible sources that were in agreement with you as far as how you use the non biblical word "literal"
Although, I would not call what you do a fatal mistake because I dont not believe that so literally as you might.
If you don't know what literal means that's bad. So I'll explain. The Bible means what it says!
The Holy Spiritual teaches comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
You can get more out of two women being two covenants then you
get out of two women being two women.
The Holy Spiritual? You can't find literal in the Bible, and I can't find the Holy Spiritual in the Bible.
Yeah, I just mis -typed, just imagine I meant "Holy Spirit", doing two things at once here
No I cant
Try the Holy Spirit with the words spiritual, maybe that will help you.

1Chro 21:1 Then Satan stood against Israel and incited David to number Israel.
2Sam 24:1 Again the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he incited David against them, saying, “Go, number Israel and Judah.”
Who incited David to number Israel?
I asked you first, since you posted,
You've never read the Bible? God means what He says, that's literal.

Why are you making this stuff up??? God uses evil people to punish other evil people. Have you never read the Bible?

I gave you two verses, one obviously says Satan, which is this one
1Chro 21:1 Then Satan stood against Israel and incited David to number Israel.
Where is Satan in the next verse?
2Sam 24:1 Again the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he incited David against them, saying, “Go, number Israel and Judah.”
Recconcle them
I am asking him, I think you are missing why we are having this back and forth
