Roses are red, violets are blue, you just read poetry, yet it's still true. Metaphor is similes, poetry, and figures of speech. Even poetic language, whenever we're using poetic language, truth is still conveyed. This is so deceptive because this is not a metaphor. He didn't use the same kind of poetry or poetic figures of speech as the Bible did. He is intentionally skirting around that. That is actually truth in certain ways, roses are red. But this is a misrepresentation of what's really going on here in the scriptures.
