One word: metaphor.

Yes?
And how do you know what is metaphorical and what is literal in the bible?

Those mitzvahs only applied to Hebrew people. Gentiles are governed by the seven laws of Noah.

Wow, aren't you wrong....

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Laws_of_Noah

The Seven Laws of Noah (Hebrew: שבע מצוות בני נח‎ Sheva mitzvot B'nei Noach) form the major part of the Noachide Laws, or Noahide Code.[1] This code is a set of moral imperatives that, according to the Talmud, were given by God[2] as a binding set of laws for the "children of Noah" – that is, all of humankind.[3][4] According to religious Judaism, any non-Jew who lives according to these laws is regarded as a Righteous Gentile, and is assured of a place in the world to come (Olam Haba), the final reward of the righteous.[5][6] Adherents are often called "B'nei Noach" (Children of Noah) or "Noahides" and may often network in Jewish synagogues.[citation needed]

And if driving this



Gets you sent to hell it's worth it

I think it's metaphoricle because pretty much every religion out there has tons of metaphoricle staories, so why wouldn't Christianity? Throughout history Christianity has purposefully employed bits and pieces of other religions to make itself morea appealing.
