Color me blushing, except! I don't know how, & your use of "they" also differs from mine. I try not to use that word, but think IJUHP, & try to figure out how others reckon they're so much different. If I take multiple liberties with my interpretations, I strongly suspect others do the same. Being absolutely sure is not one of my wonts. According to Herbert W. Armstrong, I might be descended from one of the lost tribes, except that that migration came from the south & east, &???
"Sacred" "holiness" is way, way a matter of opinion. Groupthink trips us up more effectively than thinking as individuals. Maybe the story of The Tower of Babel was one of God's brighter ideas which hasn't yet been interpreted well? Maybe not.
Co-opting the "OT" to continue/engender new traditions strikes me as no more silly than some of the other editing our species attempts every day, as agreements are reached, only to be abandoned as quickly. The Quran (sp?) is the Bible is the Torah, expanded, & they're all bastardizations of life, rarely as poetic as Shakespeare.
I stand by & for our mutual happiness.
