I'm not trying to vex you, but I will answer by asking what you mean by "based on"? I will answer that, of course, Christianity is "based on" scripture, but I do not hold to the literal truth of each word and event. You do, and hence you would define "based on" as something much more strict and literal.
Buck,
I never once claimed to be of the strictly literal camp. Nor am I.
I simply asked... if you are not going to decide what to believe about the Savior based on Scripture, then how will you know?
I don't know any other way to ask that question. I wish I could be clearer in some way.
If you don't want to continue this discussion because it is too private, I respect your wishes.
Blessings to you,
