    The civilization of the ancient Hebrews is one of the most fascinating to study, if only due to its longevity in the face of countless trials faced throughout history. Their imagined community, formulated by their religious practices and their devotion to scripture as the center of their beliefs, kept their culture mostly separate from others, allowing them to retain many customs and practices to which they still adhere to this day.

Jesus for instance took nails at the cross to be apart of God’s plan, most of the disciples died or got sent to jail just for spreading His word, but if we look at the great things they accomplished through God’s name, every struggle and obstacle was worth it.…

Genesis reveals how God’s relationship changes because of disobedience, as well as how a desire to be equal to God motivates disobedience. This is important in how it explains the ultimate reason humans sin and how it affects God’s relationship with humanity.…
