  • @rocnation2222 all current religions don't come from hebrew. duh.

  • The old testament is the hebrew religion, new testament is christian religion all current religions come from hebrew

  • The Old Testament (the Tanakh) is the foundation of the New Testament (the Apostolic Writings).

  • You have no idea what the truth is about and why prophecies were written.

  • @aniboker The Old Testament isn't a book about Hebrew self-existence solely. It is mankind's relationship with God and vice-versa. It is understanding God, it is understanding human development with God and occasionally foresight.

  • I was raised w/o religion by an agnostic mother who thought I should choose my own religion and not have one forced on me. The bible was the first obvious choice to study. I did skip the pages of x begot y whom begot z as it was irrelavant to me. I have forgotten more bible verses than most Christians have even read. I walked away from my experience with major doubt. I looked into a few more faiths with the same result. The world won't be perfect w/o faith but will have many less problems.

  • I'd like to meet a Christian who's read even one chapter of the New Testament, all I know are Atheists that have actually read the Bible.

    Maybe there's a reason for that....

  • That's all very well, but Christians should also make sure they study and understand things that aren't just made up - like evolution.

  • awesome

  • We know who Jesus is through the old testament: Jesus himself quote the old testament to tell people who he is. Christ had been expected by Jewish prophets for hundreds of years before He came.
