To Christians who aren't creationists

[Neo-Scholastic]

...John did his best to describe what he did not understand. God when He dictated Genesis did not have that problem.

You must agree that at the very least the Word is filled with figurative language and symbolic import. Also, look at the bibles celebration of romantic love in the Song of Songs. Now back to John. The 'Lamb' seems to be a pretty obvious symbol, the same one the Baptist used when he yelled, 'Behold the Lamb of God..." I doubt he confused Jesus with sheep, even taking into account the long hair. Are you saying that his references to the Lamb, the Spirit and the Bride, the Four Horsemen and other images are in the same category as an isolated tribesman seeing a 747 and calling it a strange silver bird? As for God dictating the Torah to Moses...I also believe the Torah is particularly significant, but I see no reason to consider the mode of its reception any different from the rest of the Word.
