Question

Another Bible Question~ How is it that the gentiles read the Bible [which is a jewish not a christian book] and don't even understand what they read 'YO VEY'

Answer 1

The Bible is not a Jewish book.



The Old testament is a collection of documents entrusted to the Jewish descendants of Abraham for the duration of the covenant between God and the nation of Israel. The Old Testament contains a written record of that covenant, along with other documents which are historical, prophetic, etc. The Old Testament is very clear that God is God of all peoples (not just the Jews) and that God's plan for human salvation is for all humans.



The New Testament is a collection of documents entrusted to Christians (Jew or gentile). The New Testament contains the record of the "New Covenant", along with other documents which are letters (epistles), prophetic, etc. Much of the New Testament is explicitly addressed to gentile churches.



For both Jews and gentiles, understanding of scripture comes through study. It is not genetic.

Answer 2

The Bible consists of 66 books: 39 in the OT and 27 in the NT. The Bible took about 1600 years to write. It was written in 3 languages (Hebrew, Aramaic, & Greek) by about 40 authors and is internally consistent throughout.

here are certain integral aspects of Christianity and Judaism that make “borrowing" from mythology out of the question. Most religious scholars find that biblical monotheistic Judaism did spring up organically and spontaneously in the middle of pagan cultures. Likewise, Christianity appears in the first century on the heels of one man, Jesus Christ. This belief system is not based on a long process of mixing and blending pagan stories over centuries. The Good News of Jesus Christ is based wholly on the foundation of Judaism and its predicted completion in the New Covenant. The Bible is a final culmination of God’s first and final agreement between Jews and the Gentiles (non-Jews) as predicted by the prophets of the Old Testament.



• What is the source of Judaism?



Many scholars have speculated on the origin of the Jewish faith, the first monotheistic world religion. Where did the Jewish faith come from? Secular historians Ian Shaw and Paul Nicholson say, the cultural and ethnic origin of the Israelites are difficult because the archaeological and biblical evidence have not been reconciled. They say about the accounts, “The story of the enslavement of the Israelites in Egypt and the Exodus to Canaan described in Genesis and Exodus of the Jewish scriptures has no relationship with any known history. Biblical ‘scholars’ cannot bring themselves to accept this simple fact, (Ian Shaw and Paul Nicholson, in The British Museum Dictionary of Ancient Egypt).



But this remains to be answered by the scholars, “Where did the Jews come from?” and “Who created this unique race, religion and language of Jews?”



• Jews From Canaanites?



Currently, most secular scholars have rejected the Bible and have adopted the idea that Jews evolved from the Canaanite civilization.



Unfortunately for the historical confirmation of the stylized chronology of the Exodus tale, the Pharaohs in about 1440 BC, when it was supposed to have happened, were strong monarchs, Thutmoses III and Amenhotep, who we know were not letting Canaanites go back to Canaan from Egypt but were subjugating the whole territory in a phase of colonial expansion. They were actually enslaving Canaanites rather than allowing them to escape slavery. (Dr. MD Magee, Moses and the Exodus from Egypt, 1999)



Could monotheistic Jews come from Canaanites, who are polytheistic pagans? Not likely. Jews from pagans would be a very radical transition. It might happen on a small scale. Could a race of millions of people start from a pagan culture? Could a monotheistic religion start from a polytheistic pagan cult?



Secular and religious scholars agree that the Canaanites were one of the most sexual and perverted cultures the world has ever known. Think about this. Can you imagine a few perverted pagans getting together to create a moral religion? Can you imagine a few pagans coming up with the idea for circumcision as the ritual to gain membership! How many Canaanites would be standing in line to join this new religion? All male adults and children 8 days and older had to be circumcised. This new found religion would need to become a race of people and they would establish their own particular language in only a few centuries! The idea that Judaism springs from paganism appears insane, but this is exactly what secular scholars postulate and want people to believe! Ultimately, the Bible explains where the Jews came from and how they got to the promised land.

Answer 3

Jesus Christ indicated that His message would 'go out', and He met the Roman centurion.

Paul of Tarsus then took that message to the Greeks. Paul explains the message is

'to the Jew first, then to the Greek(and then to the gentile). The entire NT is written

in Greek with some Aramaic, but mostly written in Greek.

62"I am," said Jesus. "And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven."



63The high priest tore his clothes. "Why do we need any more witnesses?" he asked. 64"You have heard the blasphemy. What do you think?"



They all condemned him as worthy of death. 65Then some began to spit at him; they blindfolded him, struck him with their fists, and said, "Prophesy!" And the guards took him and beat him.

Answer 5

Because they have been to government schools, and don't know logic... and why do those who say they are 'Jews' and are not also not understand. 'YAHUDIM' means 'those who worship YHVH'.... and they don't.
