His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow.
- Matthew 28:3
Did the angel appear as a lightening bolt or were his garments covered with ice?  Of course not!  Here is an example of simile.  Typically you can identify a simile in scripture (and elsewhere) with the words like or as.
In this passage, an angel appears [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=metaphorically-speaking.net&blog=6227322&post=93&subd=metspeak&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Isaiah 55:12
You will go out in joy
       and be led forth in peace;
       the mountains and hills
       will burst into song before you,
       and all the trees of the field
       will clap their hands.
Do trees have hands that they can clap?  Of course not.  However, on a windy day, ever listen to the trees as [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=metaphorically-speaking.net&blog=6227322&post=84&subd=metspeak&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Luke 14:26
&#8220;If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters &#8211; yes, even his own life &#8211; he cannot be my disciple.&#8221;

Welcome&#8230;.to a new project!  We&#8217;re currently accepting suggestions of biblical passages that we can look at together and determine the meaning of the various figures of speech found in scripture.  We hope it to be an interactive experience for all.
