It's too bad that some Christians don't accept Rabbi Moses Maimonides' advice that the first 11 chapters of Genesis are not to be taken as literal history --- they are folklore and borrowed myth to fill in the gap in the period before the Israelites' emergence as a self-aware cultural entity.

Jesus did not think so. Genealogy does not include parables or myths.

Mat_24:38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,

Why even call yourself a Christian if you believe this? You just said that the Judeo-Christian faith is a developed copy of a myth.

No I did not just say that. You seem to have a strong tendency to read into things people say in order to discredit them. This does not make for good adult Christian relationships.

I have been straightforward and honest, and have done nothing but point out exactly what you are saying.

It's to bad that some "Christians" don't accept God's Word in general especially the first eleven chapters of Genesis.
I'm more concerned about the living , inspired , infallible Word of God than some individuals "advice" that mocks The Holy Word of God.

You are free to disagree with Rabbi Maimonides but you are not free to accuse him of mocking scripture that is sacred to his faith as well as ours. You are also free to disagree with how I myself approach scripture which is quite different than yours. Go with God in peace and hope and in love.

Where did I accuse Rabbi Maimonides of anything?
And you sir are in no place to tell me nor others what they are free to do.
