Many of the events in the Bible occurred long before they were ever written down. These stories were kept alive by their being told over and over again. Some stories converged with other stories — and some diverged. That does not invalidate the stories. It enriches our culture by bringing more spiritual meaning into our lives. Some stories, however, should not be told to young children who lack the life experience to properly process them. For example, stories involving genocide, collecting Philistine foreskins, incest, etcetera are not for the young and innocent (those parts that would be rated PG-13 and higher).
