I understand you main point about people thinking that the OT=Fairy-Tales, but I don’t see how one gets Christ=Pinocchio.

Pinocchio = The son of the father.

The rest of the story is a fairy-tale of his shortcomings as a way to diminish Christ as the Son of God.

As XPians, we might also see Pinocchio as Satan-The-Fallen while some might contend he is Adam and represents the fall of man.

For me, I view the Pinocchio fairy-tale as mythology wherein Pinocchio’s “good works” cause him to be human (as opposed to the Christological “being human presupposes good works”.

Maybe I’m wrong.

Also, and to be concise. I stated that Pinocchio = Christ intending the concept of the fairy-tale, not the Biblical understanding.
