Or in your mind is he like the flood and literal?
Job is not a fictional character and the Flood did happen. In the New Testament we may read the following concerning Job: James 5:11
New International Version (NIV)
11 As you know, we count as blessed those who have persevered. You have heard of Job’s perseverance and have seen what the Lord finally brought about. The Lord is full of compassion and mercy.
In addition, Jesus confirmed some of the most ridiculed stories in the Old Testament. It is almost as though He went out of His way to put His stamp of approval on them. Regarding Adam And Eve, Jesus believed in the Genesis account of creation - which includes the direct creation of Adam and Eve.
And he answered and said, "Have you not read, that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female and said, ‘For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh'" (Matthew 19:4-5).
He used Adam and Eve as an example of God's purpose in marriage.
Cain And Abel
The account of Cain killing Abel is rejected today in many circles, but Jesus believed it actually occurred.
From the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who perished between the altar and the house of God; yes, I tell you, it shall be charged against this generation (Luke 11:51).
The Flood In Noah's Day
Was there really a Flood, in the days of Noah, that God sent to destroy the earth? Jesus assurred that there was. He said.
For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah. For as in those days which were before the flood they were eating and drinking, they were marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and they did not understand until the flood came and took them all away; so shall the coming of the Son of Man be (Matthew 24:37-39).
