The Telephone Effect In The Hebrew Bible

In the first Genesis God creates humans because God loves humans and he thinks the Humans are important in this whole creation, and in the second Genesis God controls Adam and Eve from accessing some knowledge and then he brings them to torments the humans. The first Genesis is told and written a lot nicer then the second Genesis book. No matter how each book is told and the difference they have they are both still very important because they both still share the similarity on how they first created this earth. They are also important because they explain the human existence. Our life is not perfect nor will it ever be and if our story was told like the first book of Genesis then we would have wonder why God would have given us pain. Also if God didn’t approve of humans like he did in the second book of Genesis then we would be wondering why should we believe in God. The reason why each chapter is told different is because if it wasn’t then we wouldn’t be able to understand this crazy life we live in and this life wouldn’t make sense if we based it off one book of the

The mythology/fables of the ancient text are often aligned with that of the biblical scripture. However, the text of the two sources also conflict. Both accounts of creations give contribute to a deity. Ancient mythology gives credit to gods and goddesses who are often written to be in battle or conflict and the end result is creation, whereas, Biblical writers give all credit to God. The theologies, mythology, and biblical accounts, give explanations that begin with contingent events that make creation its outcome. Both accounts characterize chaos before the creation. The two versions agree on the chronological order of creation. The Sabbath day is original to Biblical text even through its origins are obscure. There has been no distinct text for Near Eastern mythology that contradicts the Biblical tale.

Because of aspects like how someone was raised and what type of culture they lived in, individuals interpret the Bible differently. This means that even if an individual believes the Bible is the inherent word of God, they may not have the same beliefs as someone who declares the same claim.

     Although the plots are similar, the details included in the stories have numerous differences. To begin, when Noah receives warning about the flood and directions about how to build and fill the ark, he receives the message directly from God. When Utnapishtim receives his message, Ea indirectly sends it through a dream.

13) The Creation of the World; the Garden of Eden; Adam and Eve; Original Sin; the Fall

The Hebrew bible was extremely influencial in the Christian religion; it made up the Old Testament of the Christian bible. The people in the New Testament were of the Hebrew religion.

To begin with, the main similarity in these stories was the divine creation of the world and of humans. In the Genesis account, God created everything out of nothing, which started with the creation of the heavens and earth (Gen. 1:1 NIV). Succeeding these creations, God continued to add things to the earth, which included day, night, land, water, vegetation, and also living creatures (Gen. 1:3,6,9,11,14,20,26).

The last two accounts are similar in many ways. Ptah can be identified with God even though what they did to create was not exactly similar. Ptah created the Ennead while God

The first major difference in these two tales is who initiated the flood. In the genesis account the flood is initiated by one God, because the Jewish people where monotheistic. This notion of one god also unifies the twelve tribes of Israel into one people. The ten commandments provide an excellent

These accounts describe, in some way a chaotic primitive state, the creation of mankind, the concept of “image”, and the division of primitive waters. Showing they have some astonishing similarities as well as important differences. Which brings us to our final question “what can we learn from these similarities and differences?” Well it is apparent that by these interpretations, that the Israelite worldview perceived God through the mythological lenses of the ancient Near East, in many aspects. Mainly because in this time people used religion, instead of science to describe why things are how they are, so it is no surprise that they might have stories with the same central theme but different ways of explaining how they happened. But by looking at the similarities between these accounts we are given a hint of the ancient Near Eastern worldview of explaining how things came to be, and how that impacted the themes of Israelite faith. Likewise, the dissimilarities show how different the Israelites viewed their deity; specifically the praise of Jahwist and his role over

One reason that both Greek and Genesis creation stories are different is because the Gods in both stories create the universe in different ways. For example, “one half of the shell rose into the air and became the sky and the other became the earth.”(Greek) another example is, “in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” This shows that both stories are different because the earth was created in different way in both stories. Another difference that both creation stories have is that they both have different amounts of time in which they created the earth. For example, “with the wing she laid a golden egg and for ages she sat upon the egg.”(Greek) another example is “God saw all that he made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning – the sixth day.” This shows that both creation stories are different because it took ages to create the world in the Greek creation story, but in Genesis it only took 7 days to make the

Bible as the Inspired Word of God The Bible is the work of various authors, who lived in different continents and wrote in different eras. Furthermore, much of the text does not claim to have been 'dictated' by God and is not always God speaking to people. In parts it consists of people speaking to God, as in the Psalms, and people speaking to people, as in the New Testament letters written by Paul. In light of this, some maintain that it is not possible to treat the Bible as a book of divine oracles, delivered once by God and recorded by its authors through divine inspiration, since biblical authors were products of their time and subsequently their understanding of divine truth was culturally

There are many connections linking the Old Testament and the New Testament. These connections are formed to parallel Jesus Christ in the Gospels from the stories of the Old Testament. These examples are used to show the truth of the Old Testament and to present the fulfillment of Jesus Christ. A few of these examples are Moses and the Pharaoh and Jesus and King Herod, Lamb of God and Passover, Moses and the Burning Bush and “I AM” statements, and finally, the parting of the Red Sea and Jesus Christ’s baptism. All of these examples are shown in the Old and New Testament and are shown as miracles because these parallels happened years apart from each other. This is the fulfillment of the Messiah, Jesus Christ.

Created by Johannes Gutenberg, The Gutenberg Bible was the first mass produced book through the use of a moveable printer. Known for its artistic Latin writing, the Bible only has forty-nine copies remaining, one residing at the Harry Ransom Center at The University of Texas at Austin. The Gutenberg Bible exhibits religious qualities from the message, directly from God, and the original purpose of the creation of the Bible.

The first 39 books of the larger work called the Bible, is called the Old Testament. The Bible itself is arguably the best selling and most read book of all time, yet it’s well known to be quite challenging to read through and understand. The Old Testament portion of the Bible, notably the most difficult portion of the Bible for most to study and follow, yields 39 books from multiple authors, and spans over 4000 years of crucial world and church history. If that were not enough to take on, the Old Testament comes our way through multiple styles of authorship and formats, including but not limited to, books of history, law, proverbs, ethics,
