    Leviticus 18:22 reads, “do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable.” Leviticus 20:13 reads, “if a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.” Biblical Scholars suggest that these two passages provide evidence for the “Genesis portrayal of normative marriage.” For these scholars, Genesis chapter one and two affirm the appropriate human sexual relations that God wanted.…

    Pentateuch Authorship

    AUTHORSHIP OF THE PENTATEUCH A Traditional view of the authorship of the Pentateuch supports the idea that Moses authored the first five books of the Bible. There is ample internal evidence that supports Mosaic authorship. In these instances it is recorded that Moses wrote down all the words of the Lord, or that the Lord commanded him to record all that is written (e.g., Ex 24:4; 34:27; Deut 31:9, 24). Furthermore, the New Testament writers seems to assumes Mosaic authorship of the Pentateuch, as seen in Luke 24:27, when Jesus explained to his disciples how all scriptures pointed to him, here, the evangelist, Luke records, “Then beginning with Moses and the Prophets, He interpreted for them the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures.”…

    Mesopotamian cultural has a large influence on Hebrew Bible. By comparing Mesopotamian art and literature with Hebrew Bible, It is easy to see that there are many Mesopotamian cultural elements embedded in the Old Testimony, and one of them are the human-head animal-body guardian figure. It is a common phenomenon that each ancient civilization has its own mythical protector(s): the dragon and Tao tie in ancient China, the sphinx in Egypt, the cherubim in Israel, and the Lamasu in Mesopotamia. This phenomenon of having a guardian itself is not that surprising. What is interesting however is that some of those supernatural protectors share astonishing similarities in their appearances and positions, and all those similarities render people to…

    To understand these regulations we must always consider the context in which these are written as many were written in the Hebrew Bible in a time with a completely different culture to our own. For example one of the unquestionable regulations in the Bible is that of making adultery immoral. This can not be said to be down to the current culture of the time as it is clearly still the same case today. On the opposite side of this is that of Deuteronomy 22:28-29 where it is said that that if a virgin who is not promised to another man is raped that they must marry their raper. This clearly is not at all applicable in todays time and can’t be considered moral in a any way.…

    I do not have a great knowledge of the bible. I am familiar with the main stories taught in Sunday school and the stories that my family told me, however I know very little about the Old Testament. I am able to recall many of the main stories as well as a few chapters in the Old Testament, but I would say that my knowledge is strongly lacking. My main knowledge of the Old Testament is there are many prophets, holy figures, and foreshadowing for what Jesus will be like when he comes. Some parts of the Bible confuse me and make me question how people cannot believe God although I feel that this is just the way, we as humans, have always been.…
