You keep coming back to the date, but you clearly understand that the the christian interpretation of the narrative is not the traditional interpretation of the narrative, even if you only now found out about that. That the two religions were both wrong about the same thing does not alter that, or certify that your christian interpretation is the traditional or conservative interpretation.
Why is it so difficult for you to acknowledge that the necessities of your faith place restrictions and incur responsibilities on the texts? Why call it anything other than what it is? Why do we even have to have this ridiculous argument? I was only wondering how you felt about the missing or rejected content that any such interpretation created. I suppose I have an answer of sorts. It's nbd, and, besides, the ot wasn't about the jewish people, it was about the coming christian god.
