Was the Divine message ever meant to be understood in a strict literal sense?

Reformed Samaritanism advocates the idea that Scripture is the means by which God’s speaks unto us using riddles and parables (“Son of man, put forth a riddle, and speak a parable unto the house of Israel”- Ezekiel 17: 2).
In other words, by means of it’s geographical descriptions, it’s historical accounts, it’s family-centered struggles, it’s statutes, it’s rites, it’s Laws, and it’s commandments, Scripture uses something “physical” (and therefore temporary), in order to describe something that isn’t physical (and is therefore eternal).
For example, God’s Law (or “Torah”) places much importance to physical circumcision (“This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee; Every man child among you shall be circumcised ”- Genesis 17: 10).
Still, physical circumcision of out foreskin is just a symbol for the non-physical circumcision of our hearts. As is written:

1) “ Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiffnecked…”- Deuteronomy 10: 16
2) “ Circumcise yourselves to the Lord, and take away the foreskins of your heart, ye men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem: lest my fury come forth like fire, and burn that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings”- Jeremiah 4: 4

The fact is that, although important and beneficial, physical circumcision isn’t an end unto itself, as it is short lived (disappearing upon the arrival of death). Yet, the symbolic (or non physical) benefit of circumcision (God’s unfettered favor) isn’t affected by death, as it pertains unto the soul [which is eternal]. As is written:
1) “Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be [forever] a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine”- Exodus 19: 5
2) “ All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth unto such as [forever] keep his covenant. .. ”- Psalm 25: 10

From whence do we get that circumcision’s symbolic meaning [along with it’s corresponding punishment] isn’t limited to Israelites, but also applies to strangers? We get if from the scripture that goes on to say:
1) “… O ye house of Israel, let it suffice you of all your abominations, In that ye have brought into my sanctuary strangers, uncircumcised in heart, and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, to pollute it, even my house…”- Ezekiel 44: 6-7

And From whence do we get that circumcision’s symbolic meaning [along with it’s everlasting reward] isn’t limited to Israelites, but applies even unto strangers? We get if from the scripture that goes on to say:
1) « Neither let the son of the stranger… speak, saying, “The Lord hath utterly separated me from his people”: neither let the eunuch… For thus saith the Lord unto the eunuchs that… choose the things that please me, and take hold of my covenant… I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off ”- Isaiah 56: 3-5
2) “… the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you … ”- Leviticus 19: 34,

Curiously, ancient Jewish tradition seems to lend support to the idea that Scripture is intended to bring a message that’s far beyond the meaning of it’s plain words. As is written: «Rabbi Yehudah said: “ If one translates a verse literally, he is a liar. .. ”»- Babylonian Talmud, Kiddushin 49a

«Reformed Samaritanism teaches the following: “God doesn’t arbitrarily judge [nor rewards] any individual. Rather, by means of His Divine Law of “sowing and reaping”, He forces each person to “reap” the same goodness [or evil] he has freely and willingly “sowed”. If we sow peace an life, we’ll be forced to reap peace and life; But if we sow death and despair, we will be forced to reap death and despair”. And that’s exactly what happened to Pharaoh: Since he tossed Israelite prime (the Israelite children) into the waters of the Nile, both Pharaoh and his own prime (the Egyptian soldiers) were tossed into the waters of the Red sea. No one escapes God’s perfect judgment! »

Some Quick Facts about Reformed Samaritanism...

(1) Reformed Samaritanism is to believe that the God of Abraham (י ה ו ה ) is the one and only God, who wants us to follow the 10 commandments given to our master Moses, while considering everything else to be optional commentary.
(2) Talmud, Gospel, Koran, etc, are such optional commentary. And whatever part of them presents God as a morally perfect being who wants us to repent, depart from evil, and start obeying His commandments, comes from God
(3) Each person achieves salvation (and everlasting life) by means of sincere repentance; and by “sowing” upon his fellow human beings [who suffer], the same justice, mercy, and goodness one day he would wish to “reap” for himself
(4) Reformed Samaritans believes God is a singularity [and not a multiplicity of beings]; the one and only infinite being which isn’t contained within anything else; the God who gave Moses 10 Laws for the whole world to follow
(5) By means of Parables, God spoke to each nation according to their own language and culture: To the Hebrews, he sent Moses; to Arabs, he sent Muhammad; to Greek and Romans He sent Jesus, etc.
(6) The message of all true prophets has always been the same: obey the God who wants His children to repent from evil, starting to do the good that please Him- honor your parents, don’t steal, lie, covet, nor murder, and always be honest & humble
(7) It doesn’t matter which prophet you choose to follow [Moses, Jesus, Muhammad, etc], as long as your obedience to God’s commandments yields “the good fruit” that pleases the Creator.
(8) The tree is known by it’s fruit; good religion manifests itself in good thoughts, good words, and good actions. Why? Cause “we can’t have God in our hearts, while having the Devil in our hands”
(9) No one is a true believer until he loves what God himself loves [a life of virtue and justice]; and hates what God himself hates [a life of injustice and immorality]
(10) God does not want our flattering words; rather, He wants us to praise him with our obedience, our sincerity, and our commitment with truth, justice, and righteousness
