since there is no real

Ps64:7 is a v of obvious interest to me. In it, David says God shot some arrows. The violence & power interests the male in me. But the interaction of God in man's physical world interests the seeker in me.

Argue pt 1 that the arrows are metaphors. With divine help, we can defeat our foes, our problems. In the modern cynical world, it's easiest to believe He merely offers presence & strength & support during times of trial.

But to me, the better route is to argue pt 2, that the arrows were in fact real arrows. The manna and the parting and the burning bush and the cylinder of fire were all real. To disbelieve one interaction dilutes all others. Why wouldn't/couldn't He physically interact? Flatten a tire of a foe? Weaken a structure? Put an unbeliever to sleep?

Don't believe it, or won't believe it?
