Literalist and non-literalist views

When listening to certain Christians we only can have the impression they do not understand the Hebrew way of talking and do not see how often idioms, parables and allegory are used. Too often they take words as names and texts literally when they are not meant as such.

Bereshith 2 Man and Woman placed in a Royal Garden

In the second chapter of the Bereshith light is shed on the day that יהוה Elohim made earth and heavens and created a beautiful Royal Garden where man, made in the image of God, could live in peace, with the animals, to which he receives rulership (not ownership over the earth).

For this, man needs to understand clearly what caused this troublesome world. The Bereshith tells the story of the origin of life and death.
