A question for Christians who do not accept a literal interpretation of Genesis:
If Jesus died to repay the sins of all those who accepted him, and human beings are born with sin due to the sin of Adam and Eve, and the events recorded in Genesis didn't literally happen as they are described, where did the sins that Jesus' death forgave come from? Does his death only repay sins committed by Christians during their own lives? Are people born tainted by sin?

What significance does the story of Exodus in the Old Testament hold? Is it thought to be true for the most part, or is it completely made up, or somewhere in between? For example, in Exodus 12:37, the Bible mentions that the Jews numbered 600,000 men, not counting children. Is there any evidence that there were this many Jews ever enslaved in Egypt, or this many living in the Sinai Peninsula at any one time?
