The Generation of Jesus Christ - What It Means

[Anthony Pritchard]

You seem to use literal in a way that I do not.

Jesus was not literally a lamb, He was human.

Yes, you are right. That is why I used the phrase pictorial speech. It is figurative. In a figure, Christ was the Lamb. Literal interpretation does not exclude the use of figurative speech. The truth that the figure conveys is literal.
