I suppose you will claim you missed it, but the "color green" explanation has been on this board countless times. How do you describe the color green to a person blind since before birth "literally"? You can not! Only people who have already experienced green can know what you mean "literally" by the word "green." People who have seen green can readily know the "truth" about green. Other people must depend on indirect speech, allegory, parables, and other highly symbolic communication. Actually developing an understanding of green might take a lifetime.

The "color green" explanation is irrelevant. If Jasper says that he is "dekkajnid" it doesn't matter if you know what dekkajnid means or if what Jasper says is true. It doesn't change the simple fact that Jasper says that he is.

The Bible might be "true" as I already explained, but it cannot be literally true.

Literally true or figuratively true, or each in turn, it doesn't matter. You asserted that the Bible doesn't say it's true, but the Bible does claim to be true.

The Bible does not say it is true because in fact it contains allegory, parable, and symbolism to point a person toward the truth

If you wish to point to those parables and symbolism as proof that the Bible's claim to be true is a false claim, go right ahead. That's your affair. It still doesn't change the fact that the Bible claims to be true.
I am now sure you will never look at any works written by assorted Bible scholars and theologians who will lay out various Bible passages and analysis on the subject. You much prefer to stay locked inside your own invented and baseless certitudes.

You have a cripplingly simple notion of "truth." Are you ready to tell us exactly what the Bible means? Don't let me stop you. Some people would pay to see that.
