How can a story guide Spiritual growth as to the experience and practice of a teaching.
I myself practiced Spiritual experiences for years with very little written word.
I came to written word later and aligned to written word with what I knew to be true.
The Bible (New Testament)aligns with my truth because of the Love verses.
Love is my teacher and My Creator is Love.

Well myths can be used when something cannot really be explained. They present something similar to what they are trying to point to.
I think the bible points to truths but people take these pointers literally and miss the real truth.

I don't think the bible is a hoax just because it is mythical. It can still be a great teacher.
