I think if you're going to believe in it then you should be literal about it, the supernatural events and miracles described either happened and they will be a real part of the universe or they didn't. Sure you can be mataphorical about say Genesis, Noahs Ark and Jonah inside a whale. But then you also have Moses turning a staff into a snake and there is a talking donkey in there as well (or God speaking through the donkey). I don't see why that ought to be metaphorical if there is actual real magic in the world.
