Proto-Orthodox

they're going to evolve into the Orthodox Catholic, in other words, the main line of Christianity. They have this kind of middle ground, which is that no, Christians don't have to obey Jewish law, we don't have to keep kosher, but there's some things that we should probably keep doing, like the Ten Commandments and things like that, mostly, obviously not the Sabbath because we're going to be doing Sunday instead of Saturday, and this kind of a thing. Instead, their position is that we don't throw the Old Testament away, but we don't read it literally. We read it typologically, which is to say every one of these things that's happening in the Old Testament is a story of and a prediction of the Christian gospel. The whole idea of, for example, crossing the Red Sea or crossing the Jordan River is that essentially the people, to become set apart, to become the true Israel, to become that, they had to be baptized. Even the flood is also a baptism typology. The whole reason why the old world had to be destroyed, it's not so much a story about literally killing everybody, but in the same way that Christians understood that the old person is dead when they go into the waters of baptism and a new person is alive in Christ when they come out, that's what that story is now typologically signifying, as opposed to worrying about it in any kind of literal interpretation.
