Theology Based On An Allegorical Genesis

[John V]

Christ recounts the Story of adam and Eve, as such every biblically based Christian must accept the written creation account.

So there's no room for a poetic Genesis?

There's room for a poetic or allegorical Genesis, there's just no internal evidence to support that interpretation.

Some Bibles use italics or indentation to indicate sections which scholars judge to be poetic. Gen 1:27 is the only verse in the creation account judged to be so.

Genesis is not labeled as allegory, vision, parable, or dream.

Jesus refers to the flood as an actual historical event.
