Difference Between Torah and Bible

Religion has been a major part of people’s lives since time immemorial. In a society, religion is based on a supernatural being, morals, practices, sanctified places, faith, sacred things, ethics, prophesies and worldviews that relate humanity to transcendental, spiritual or supernatural elements. It involves practices such as sermons, sacrifices, rituals, feasts, initiations, prayer, dance, and traces, just to name a few. Although there are over 10,000 religions worldwide, the largest religious groups include Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, and Buddhism, in no particular order whatsoever. Often, the activities are guided from beliefs based on reference materials, such as the Bible, Quran and the Torah, as was in the past.

 

What is Torah?

Torah, meaning teach, refers to the first five books of the Hebrew Bible, namely Genesis, Numbers, Deuteronomy, Exodus and Leviticus. It mainly consists of the Jewish peoplehood origin, involving their trials and tribulations, their call into being by God as well as their covenants with God, entailing following a way of life in a set of civil laws, morals, and religious obligations.

Meant for liturgic purposes, the Torah takes the form of a Torah scroll, which strictly contains the five books of Moses.  The Torah starts from the creation of the world by God, through to the people of Israel descent into Egypt and the presentation of the Torah at Mount Sinai. It, however, ends with the death of Moses. The commandments outlined in the Torah provides guides for the Jewish religious law.

 

What is Bible?

This is a collection of sacred scriptures and texts. It represents a sacred relationship between God and human beings and is used as a representation of faith by Christians, Samaritans, Jews, and Rastafarians. Beliefs and attitudes towards the Bible differ in the same religious groups. For instance, among Christian groups, Protestant churches focus on the idea of scripture alone while Methodists, Roman Catholics, and Eastern Orthodox Christians stress on sacred tradition and harmony based on the Bible. Despite these differences, the Bible has a great influence on history and scripture in the entire world.

The first Bible printed was the Gutenberg Bible which was printed using movable type. It has been translated into different languages over time, with over 5 billion copies sold.

  4. Jewish women have three lovely sexy holes – for passing urine passing stools and making love

    • You’re pathetic!
      Jewish women are God’s best gifts to the world. They have birthed, nursed, nurtured and raised the world’s greatest personalities who have brought the world the very best in morals, values, virtues, inventions and innovations that have made life much more liveable, and the world a better place than your likes have messed it up with hate ,venom and desolation…
      Be thankful to Jewish women for great children who invented the technology with which you have spewed this horrendous, upsetting racist post.
      Yet, it is in the nature of the blessed Jewish women to forgive you and the product of your obviously sick, troubled and dirty mind. I, too, forgive you.
      May your mind and soul be healed.

  5. Jewish girls pass stools in the toilet every morning from their sexy dirty poop holes

  6. I don’t think this is right, Jews don’t believe in the nt, or jabush, there for the Tanakh and the Christian Bible are way different. The Tanakh has Hloy writings which were give by the people hood of the Jewish Nation. Thanks

  7. You have two holes: (1) where your brain should be; (2) where you dirty mouth is.
