How exactly is the Jewish interpretation different from the Christian one? I thought the Christian Old Testament was identical to the Torah. I ask as someone who was raised Methodist.
The Torah is only the first five books of the Old Testament. Depending on what branch of Christianity you go by, the Old Testament contains 39-49 books. But that's only a small nit.
I've never heard of that particular interpretation of the Abraham story, being raised Catholic. I also can't find any sources that say that the Jews believe that the Abrahamic Covenant started as a joke between God and the angels, but then again my quick search might not have had the right keywords.
I wouldn't trust anyone who misspelled interpretation twice.
My keyboard app doesn't have working spellcheck. Sorry that every other Android keyboard is spyware.
The difference is that the Jewish interpenetration developed both before and after Christianity started, so its not really possible for them to be the same.
