I am from a fairly relaxed Anglican background and don't remember very much how I was taught about the faith, but I think we were taught the Old Testament myths very simply as just the Ancient Hebrews' beliefs.

It was Christianity, i.e., what the Apostles took of Jesus' preaching and what they believed of his life and divinity, that was important.

@ArishMell Trouble with that teaching is the inconvenient fact that the Old Testament was the (only) bible of Jesus and his followers. Christianity without full incorporation of the Old Testament is a contradiction in terms.... well, that's how I see it.

@westfield What happened there? You'd already posted that, 3 minutes previously! :-)

@ArishMell It made more sense positioned as a direct reply to your comment, so I deleted it from its original positioned and reposted in that more logical position

@westfield Ah, OK. Logical thing to do, but it didn't actually delete it as your thought. It still appears twice.
