Speaking of poetry in the Bible...
Recently I heard a teacher* caution students of the Bible against reading too literally any of the three Ps of the Bible:
Poetry
Prophecy
Parables
This teacher especially urged believers not to build doctrine on any of the 3 Ps. That feels like good advice.
(It also feels like another strike against the doctrine of eternal conscious torment in hell of all unbelievers. The core verses you will find people using to support that particular doctrine are found in Revelation's prophecies and in the parable of the rich man and Lazarus.)
* I wish I could remember who it was! 😉
