Maybe this has already been addressed, but just in case, we have some citing the scripture that speaks of the four corners of the earth, and others cite the scripture that says God sits on the circle of the earth. So which is it I wonder? ;) Does a circle have corners? Or how can an object with corners be circular in shape? This example alone shows that there are things in scripture that are just in a manner of speaking and not to be taken literally....God uses poetic, spiritual language, and often hyperbole as well.
I believe every word of God is true, but we need to understand the intention of the Author with what He has had written and not take everything so literally.
