An extreme symbolic interpretation of the elements could result in scripture being regarded as mere history devoid of spiritual significance.

Q1. (1 Samuel 3:1-10) What was Eli’s counsel to Samuel, when he recognized that God was calling to the boy? Samuel was to respond as follows:-'Speak Lord, your servant is listening' Was it good counsel? Yes it was. God wanted to speak to Samuel but Samuel would hear the voice of his spiritual father, Eli. Hence Eli had to redirect Samuel to God. What is the significance of Samuel recognizing that he is a servant? Serving God requires us to walk in humility. A servant does not question the mind of God but communicates the Word without adding or subtracting anything from it
