i was wondering does Christianity have any mythology in it? all i know about Christian myth is the creation myth where god created the world in 7 days, is there more to it which goes beyond?

As far as I know there aren't any...but there could be some denominations that actually might. I don't know anything more.

It would depend on who you ask . In the new testament , the story of the good Samaritan was a story told by jesus and not an actual account. So in a way there are some mythologies to the bible.
If you want to to hear some myths / superstitions on a personal note with my family , my grandfather does not support putting pictures of christ or god in the homes .... idk why but thats what he told me :P.

Another thing they did was on sundays, they turn off the electricity to the house. Reason to this is because it is sunday/lords day and they consider it to be work for some reason. They also believe going to sunday morning and Sunday night services. The less time at a church ( to them ) = not devotional to god and would make him upset. As a kid , I went to church atleast 5 days a week. |

The story of the ark is the case in Christianity as a whole! If a Church does not accept what is written in the Bible that this Church is in heresy

Mine believes it as a fact though. yeah my perception is that they are facts as well but very ancient and probabaly long forgotten ones compacted in a story for us to understand and to not forget i suppose, geology is our best friend :D nautil.us/issue/25/water/the-real-landscapes-of-the-great-flood-myths |

If you see the Parallels between histiry from the Bible and the Sumerian legends it is due to the fact that in the era of the Sumer people still remember some facts about then and so on. Just in the Bible are all accurate. From the point of view of Christianity of course ! |

From the point of view of Christianity of course ! ahaha yeah i think mythology is simply the story of humanity transferred to the later generation through culture since there were no hard sciences back then, and after a point some people came along and said these are "my" facts lul fundamentally through all of this i just want to know the story of humans and the story of life itself , seems to me that there is no other saga more epic than our own, (by our i mean the living organisms) |

But it is difficult now in the 21st century to say for sure who exactly the source of these legends. |

yeah these stories are the stories from before civilzation, attributing them to one idea or one civilization would be a mistake

Question from my side: Your thoughts on Jesus and Mary Magdalene - could their be a chance they married and Mary Magdalene was pregnant during the Crucifixion?
