@beinlibertarian I am genuinely curious if it's as sexually dichotomous as everyone asserts. My expectations fall more along the single/married or with/without kids divide more so than male/female. I'd expect moms who experienced postpartum would be far more hostile to her than anyone else.
There is some irony in this. Or maybe divine chastisement.

@TodAshby I found it interesting to juxtapose Peter's denial with Elisha's threefold commitment when Elijah was taken, especially considering that Peter actually saw Elijah at the transfiguration.
@TrevorSheatz Which is why Paul compared it to circumcision (which he was declaring unnecessary for salvation, in opposition to false teaching then) and specifically said Abraham was declared righteous by faith before circumcision. Paul made it abundantly clear justification is by faith alone.
@rabbriansamuel Messianic pictures in the old testament are a great example of this. The ram caught in the thicket on the mountain, Joseph redeeming nations after being thrown in a pit, the serpent on a pole being lifted up, the blood running down the doorpost on the first passover, etc
@rabbriansamuel The remarkable part is that a sovereign, eternal, all knowing God has carved specific allegory into parts of our own history but it doesn't negate, detract from, or contradict the plain meaning of scripture. It can be both but it has to be at a minimum literal.
