Where does it say it was written in Israel?

@Uninteresting The bible states that god spoke to moses and had him write the first bible in hebrew, it isn't that hard to figure out.

the first bible was the old testament you retard

the new testament was written by the apostles and other people in later years

And the old testament was written by moses.

That first bible is the Hebrew Bible, part of the Old Testament and part of Jewish scripture.

we're not denying that

The Old Testament is mostly a record of Jewish religious practice.

you just have to remember the temporal divide between the old and the new

@Chaiske Such as?

the specifics of the old testament are irrelevant lmao

The first few books of the Bible, e.g. Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy, are part of the Tanakh, comprising the Torah.

i think ur just arguing for the sake of arguing at this point

That is to say, those first books are literally the Torah.

@Chaiske That's dancing around the question, don't you think?

Not really?

You asked which part of the Old Testament is part of Jewish practice.

The answer was that, for example, the first few books are part of the Torah, a central text in Judaism.

@Chaiske Well you are not actually providing any specifics and are just stating that they were apart of the torah.

because theyre irrelevant

Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy, for example, state specific laws on conduct with God.

especially in a discussion about the new testament

@Chaiske Such as? And how do they prove that the bible was jewish?

By the fact that Jews still use the Torah today?

@Uninteresting This is an argument about whether or not the bible/new testament is jewish.

@Chaiske And how is the torah related to anything?

The bible isn't the New Testament, though.

I know.

The Torah is the central scripture of the Jews.

And how is the bible related to it?

It states the history of the Jewish people, their covenant with God, and the law entailed in that covenant.

@Deleted User the old testament is jewish, the new testament is christian

not a hard concept

The Torah is a part of the Bible.

@Uninteresting Feel like proving it?

the old testament has almost nothing on jesus christ

@Chaiske How so?

@Deleted User what kind of proof do you want?

@Uninteresting [X] Doubt

The first books of the Old Testament, Genesis through Deuteronomy, make up the Torah, which is the central Jewish scripture.

@Uninteresting Anything that proves your point.
