what are the differences between O.T and Jewish Scripture?

Sunday, May 16th, 2010

I know the fact that the first five books of the O.T of the Bible is a Book of Torah? And then what about the rest of the O.T? Do they go to any scripture in Jewish book? why not? What other jewish book after the first book of the O.T that are missing in the Bible? why separation?

The Tanakh composes the Jewish Bible, and for the most part it is consistent with the Christian Bible’s Old Testament.

The Torah ("Teaching," also known as the Five Books of Moses), Nevi’im ("Prophets") and Ketuvim ("Writings") – hence TaNaKh.

The Jewish tradition also includes the Talmud, which is the oral tradition (Mishnah) and rabbinical interpretations (Gemara).

Atheists do you feel the bible is a jewish lie to sell books?

Saturday, May 8th, 2010


Scrolls, maybe. Books? They weren’t invented until considerably later.

And you wouldn’t make much of a profit on handwritten scrolls. Not enough economy of scale there.

Can someone name some books about Non-Jewish victims of the Holocaust?

Wednesday, May 5th, 2010

I am doing a report and I can not find any good books on Non-jewish victims of the Holocaust. It would also help if you could give me a little bit of information on this to look up. For example, if you know of any people, other than the Jews, homosexuals, and gypsies, who were killed because they were different then please tell me. If you don’t give me any information and just a few books then thats fine. I just REALLY need to find some books on that topic.

This website has some great resources, others who were victims were the handicapped, black youth were sterilized, and Jehovah Witnesses. I will try to find some books and update this later.

The African-German Experience by Carol Aisha Blackshire-Belay
Destined to Witness : Growing Up Black in Nazi Germany By Hans J. Massaquoi
Facing the Lion – Memoirs of a Young Girl in Nazi Europe
by Simone Arnold
Poland’s Holocaust: Ethnic Strife, Collaboration with Occupying Forces and Genocide in the Second Republic, 1918-1947 [Hardcover] by Tadeusz Piotrowski

Are there any different books in the Jewish Tanakh Than there are in the Christian Old Testament?

Saturday, May 1st, 2010

Did Christians add or subtract any books from the jewish books ?
Jews Decanonized those books because they were not written in Hewbrew or Aramaic.
The Orthodox Church also has those same books.
Sorry for accidentally spelling Hebrew
For spelling Hebrew wrong

Depends on the Christian Bible.

The Protestant churches take their Old Testament canon directly from the Tanakh. Though the arrange the books in a different order and with difference names.

The Tanakh was translated into Greek around 250 BC with several books added that gave the history of that time period, as well as some new songs (psalms) and another book of wise sayings (proverbs). These books have never existed in Hebrew and are not recognized as scripture by the Jews.

However the earliest Christian translation of the Tanakh, the Latin Vulgate Bible made in the 5th century, was translated from this Greek version and included that additional material. It has remained part of the Catholic (and Orthodox) canon since then.

So a Protestant Old Testament will contain the same material as the Jewish Tanakh, while a Catholic or Orthodox Old Testament will include the additional material from the Septuagint Greek translation.
