Section A: 1. There are many things that separate Christians from the bible. With all of the translations and different versions of the bible, it is very easy to become distant from the bible. A few of the things that create this distance for modern day Christians is the language that the Israelites used and the culture that they had. Over the years, culture has changed so much, and if one were to look at how culture has changed over the last few thousand years, they could see the hundreds of…

For over two-thousand and five-hundred years the Old Testament has been accepted by many as historically accurate and inspired by God. Likewise, after the King James Version of the Holy Bible was published, it was considered by the Protestants to be the only accurate version of the Holy Bible and was infallible. The historical criticism of both the Old and New Testament began in middle 1700AD and since early 1900AD a more scientific view became established concerning the history of the texts of…

The Bible as we have today as found in the Greek New Testament (NA-28) and the Hebrew Old Testament are authentic to the original autographs as possible. Each of these published manuscripts have a unique history and verification along the way. The Hebrew Old Testament was written in Biblical Hebrew which is different from modern Hebrew. According to Josh McDowell, the Masoretic scribes from the 500-900 CE had the copying with exact precision down to the letters on a page. Scribes could not copy…

1. A midrash is a thorough interpretation of sacred Hebrew texts. 2. The validity of both the Bible and the novel could be argued because those texts could present truth based on the writers’ perspectives. Based on the argument, The Red Tent could also be valid because the story was true in the eyes of Diamant. 3. Because of their beliefs, Simon and Levi committed a mass slaughter even after Shalem’s people were circumcised. 4. Although The Red Tent is inaccurate in the eyes of historians,…

The Hebrew word for prophet “navi” comes from the phrase “niv sefatayim” which means “fruit of the lips”. This implies that the prophets were revered as sacred vessels of knowledge and information sent from the heavens above and God himself. While the Hebrew scripture only recorded fifty-five prophets, the Talmud shows that there were more than…

the mix up of the movie and the bible of the plagues have some people confused and not knowing what to believe in the overall moral and details in the story. The movie did a good job, in some areas, of trying to get most of the information spot on as it does in the book. Since the book was written a long time ago and is a primary source, it may have a better and accurate outlook of the moral of the story. I am the type of person to try and believe everything the bible implies to me, but one…

one of the most common names used to describe the Jewish Bible. It is also known in Protestant circles as the beginning books of the Bible, which is also called the Old Testament. No matter what name this section is given, it is a complex set of books with multiple authors, written in diverse languages, and has a history all its own. Yet, with proper study, much about the text can be discovered because many try to translate the original Hebrew and Aramaic as accurately as possible. This does not…

Frame argues that God’s name is his self-revelation and a way of referring to God himself. God’s…

Psalms 23 David describes himself and the people of God as sheep. As well connects to both the new testament and the old making it one of the most simplistic and beloved Scriptures in the Bible.
