The Bible And The New Testament

The two gospels, The Old Testament and The New Testament provide mirror images of Terrestrial Humans mentality Evolution and the comprehensive overview of the mental developmental trends over a span covering last five millennia. The Old Testament moral norms served in establishing a legal system with base in an absolute, irrevocable right of private ownership. Incontestable proof of continuous process of Evolution in this micro-segment of Spiral is an emergence of ‘The New Testament’, as a herald of a new mental era on the Earth, which naturally succeeds ‘The Old Testament’. Needless to remind, that The Old Testament also inspired adherents to vehemently follow the principle "an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth", a total ‘defence of ownership’ “…based on the superstition or the illusion that one was ‘God 's chosen people’ and was superior to all ‘heathens’ ". (Quote from ‘Livets Bog’, Vol IV #1310)

As a person throughly studies the Words of God found in the Bible, one would find that there are many topics and doctrines contained within. One of the major doctrines or teachings found in Scripture is prophecy. Around 28 percent of the Bible is classified as prophecy. The men who wrote these prophecies did not write based off what they thought would happen. Neither did they write them after the events that were predicted took place as some critics of the Bible would claim. These men were inspired by an omnipotent, omniscient God Who knew the events that would take place in the world. After all, “Prophecy is written foreknowledge of the omniscience of our omnipotent God”

The Bible is one of the greatest piece of literature. It is composed of 66 individual books, however it has no official author. The bible was written by different authors within the time frame of 1500 years. The individual books were gradually collected into one. According to the Merriam Webster dictionary literature is a piece of written work that is considered to be very good and to have lasting importance. The bible has poems, proses, and narratives. It also has a metaphorical way and inability of tracing the reading. It is a subject of more art and theory for those who live within its influence, will ever know. Biblical allusions can propose a degree of seriousness or significance that modern fiction does not always support.

Before I read this chapter I had absolutely no idea that the Jewish religion had their own bible. The main differences that I came across after reading and doing research are the number of books, the arrangement of the books, the primary language that the Bibles are read or studied in, the content of the two Bibles, and the importance that is given to the oral and the written traditions in making of the two holy books. The word ‘Bible’ comes from the Greek word ‘biblia’ which means ‘books’ and both religions call their religious scripture ‘Bible’ (Frigge 1). Judaism dates back to the 2nd century BCE and the Jewish Bible is called Tanakh. It consists of 24 books which are in Hebrew and Armanic (Hayes 3). It is divided into three parts, the

Christians, or believers of Christ, study “The Holy Bible”. Made up of two main parts, the Bible has sixty-six books total. The Old Testament, has thirty-nine books and takes place from the Creation to just before the birth of Jesus.

The Bible is the oldest books that is still not only being currently used, but is a bestseller. Christians believe this Bible are the very words of God given to guide people on how to live. The Bible is made of sixty-six books; thirty-nine in the Old Testament and twenty seven in the New Testament. The New Testament was completed in fifty years. The Bible was written over many years and yet everything that was written fits together perfectly. God chose people who honored Him to write the Bible. He inspired them to write His words. Many of the authors were from Asia and Europe.

The Bible is broken down in ways like the Qur'an. First, it is broke into two "Testaments", one is called the Old Testament, which was originally written in Hebrew. The Old Testament talks about the creation of the world to the laws a person should follow. The second half is called the New Testament, was written in Greek, and much of this talks about the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. It also has "letters written by leaders of the early church" (Geoghegan, 14), and also has the end of the time prophecies. In each of the Testaments there are books (think of the chapters of a novel), here are a total of 66 books in the Bible that we have today, in each book there are also verses like in the Qur'an.

Telling stories in great detail, whether verbally, or written down, has always been a part of human civilization among various cultures. Thus by knowing what our ancestors honored or thought to be entertaining, while passing down cultural values, we too are able to learn from them and put such knowledge into a modern context. Particularly dealing with the Christian religion/holy bible that was forcibly spread throughout the world with colonialization, many stories interpreted from it produces various perspectives that seem to change as years pass, with bibles being revised/edited. Even translation from ancient languages into modern languages are not always perfect, so real misunderstandings will remain. However, as society evolves with scientific advancement and more people consider opposite viewpoints to justify or change theirs, evidence has been found that can disprove events in the bible and the bible as a whole. Others who have faith in the bible’s truthfulness also say some type of evidence can prove such questionable stories that preach Jesus was indeed on earth. Focusing on an excerpt/chapter from 2 distinctly different books, Christopher Hitchens critiques the faults of Christianity/religion, and Gordon D. Fee and Douglas Stuart together, explain the true meaning of the 4 gospels and proclaim their belief in Jesus. All authors share their views on the bible/the value of narratives, and how that influences the reader’s interpretation of how the authors present their

The Bible is composed of two parts, which are the New Testament and the Old Testament. The two Testaments consist of a collection of stories, letters, poetry, prayers, historical events and other literature. These were written by different people, some of whom are characters in these stories. The purpose of the readings in the bible is to continue teaching people about God and his only son Jesus Christ. The Bible is considered a guide to follow the right path to the Kingdom of God or eternal life; which is achieved by abstaining from sin. Through these readings, they deliver implied messages of what was considered a sin. Since it is explained in a form of stories, it is common for readers to interpret the readings differently. Due to these interpretations, controversy may be endured.

The New Testament and its canonization were the result of a process that spanned over 250-300 years of Christian history. It is special, in the fact, that we can trace its development to the modern day canonization of the scriptures. Several factors are responsible for this, such as the death of Christ, disseminating of the disciples and their teachings, and the availability of the teachings of Christ to the common people.

There are several great leaders in the Old Testament of the Bible. However, there are some that deserve additional respect, and there are others that do not even have the great appearance or qualifications of a leader. Just as there are leaders such as these, a person that is related to both of these types of leaders is our Savior, Jesus Christ. The Old Testament leaders of the Bible that deserve further respect or do not have the greatest appearances or qualifications of a leader are easily compared and contrasted to Jesus 's life and ministry.

The names “Old Testament” and “New Testament” are inherently theological in nature. Because there is a difference distinctly built into giving them different notations, it implies that there are differences between each the Old Testament and the New Testament, whether it is subtle in nature or obvious in nature. To Christians, the difference means that the Old Testament contains dealings between God and the world and even some of the rules made are made irrelevant by the interactions of Christ Jesus with the world. One of the differences between the New Testament and the Old Testament is the way each of the Testaments describe God and God’s nature. The Old Testament describes an angry God, one who only created the world and was obsessed with laws and rules. The New Testament describes a loving God who redeemed the world. The different ways the Old Testament and New Testament describe God and his nature are very much influenced by their perspective of God. By the rules, actions, and laws God made, the early writers of the Old Testament made their judgements about God and wrote those perspectives into the books of the Old Testament. The writers of the Old Testament did the best they could with the information they had and got some things about God right, but also got things wrong. The writers of the New Testament and therefore, Christian believers understand God better.

First and foremost, it is imperative to understand the Bible and the history of it in order to fully relate the message of the Word of God, clearly to other people. Theology is the study of God and who he is throughout history, where evangelism ties into teaching that truth. In order to identify with the character of God, one must understand him. You need to understand the attributes of God, his unchangeableness, his independence, that he is omnipresent, and eternal. Also it needs to be understood that we will not fully understand who God is either. That in order to share who God is you must study your bible, and at times the history of the times, the context of the stories, and where they were written in order to teach accurately.

The first way to living a happy and meaningful life is to follow the bible and the word of God. God is the ultimate creator and he is the number one thing that should be in our life. Jesus said, “Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life”’(English Standard Version, John 8:12). what he means by this is that if we follow him we will never get lost and he will be our provider and leader while if we do not we will not be with jesus and we will be all alone. Also Jesus said, “I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world”(English Standard Version, John 16:33). What Jesus means by this is that he has gone and died on the cross for our sins so that we may be forgiven and be allowed into heaven. This is so crucial and such a huge part of history and it is stated in the Bible in the book of John, “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life”(English Standard Version, John 3:16). So following God is important because when you gain the faith and you believe in God he says, “I can do all things through him who strengthens me”(Philippians 4:13). He says this because he will give us the strength that we need to accomplish any task that we are trying to accomplish. So when we are trying to live a happy and

The Old Testament is made up of forty six books while the New Testament is made up of twenty seven books, with a total of seventy three books in all. The Bible was written by forty different authors from all walks of life, who wrote this with the inspiration about God and God’s people. Moses and Apostle Paul were the two main contributors in writing the bible. Moses wrote the first five books in the Bible and referred to it as the Pentateuch while Apostle Paul wrote fourteen books in the New Testament.
