Genesis: How much historical and how much allegorical?
I thought this thread at the Messiah Truth discussion forum, where I am known as “Proteus,” might interest some readers here. Keep in mind that most of the participants there are Orthodox Jews. Some of the views expressed as of 05/28/14 have surprised me already.

I believe in all of Genesis. I don’t think God would waste His time on myths and legends. But that’s just me.
Many of these discussions become largely academic: they have little bearing on exactly how to love and serve God from day to day, which is obviously any believer’s FIRST concern!
