If you claim any sort of belief in the Bible--

[YoursTrue]

Would you say that Jesus was born as a Jew and after he died was preached to others beyond the Jews? Remember -- IF you claim any sort of belief in the Bible -- if you don't, no need for you to answer. Thanks.

Yes I do.

 

[Spice]

Yes

Yes

Funny. A question with just one answer. Dissenters outlawed.

I believe the Bible was never meant to be a science book.

Of course it wasn't. It did, however, convey the idea that God gave certain laws and restrictions to the Israelites. That would include for certain ones to not touch the dead, not to eat certain types of food.

Not really. The question was narrowed because I am interested in how people think or weigh things, but feel free. I'm not outlawing you, however the primary interest is towards those claiming to be members of a religion that bases its primary belief as that of the Bible. Because many religions and people do not put faith in the Bible and that is to be expected.

The basic question was not about the Bible and science. It was: Would you say that Jesus was born as a Jew and after he died was preached to others beyond the Jews? If you don't believe that, that's your viewpoint. If you do, again -- that's how you believe.

 

[Aupmanyav]

Did he not preach to gentiles while he was alive? Jesus was born a Jew and his words were for Jews only.

"any" sort of belief - I guess that includes me though I'm not a Christian nor do I believe the Bible is without errors and certainly the stories should not be taken literally.

Were there non-Jews in the region when Jesus was alive? If there were, I would presume he would interact, preach if you like, to whomever came in contact with him.

I find it hard to see any usefull meaning from this question.Can you explain what is the purpose of the discussion or is it just a poll?

It strikes me that "any sort of belief in the Bible" is a comically low threshold, particularly given that you are less than clear about whose Bible. Mine, for example, says nothing about Jesus.

Of course.

I find it interesting to see how people figure what the Bible is.

I said of course because you accept maybe what is called the tanach?

I’m curious, @YoursTrue : you at one time were a believer in the Jewish faith, right?
Did you ever wonder about the “serpent” in Genesis 3? Because the Hebrew Scriptures shed no light on the subject.

Only the Greek (NT) Scriptures do.

No, No one spoke about it, and even though my parents and family were Jewish, they never discussed the Bible with me. In fact, we went to services every week on Friday, the rabbi was a renowned rabbi and never taught us anything much about the Bible. They read from the Torah every week in Hebrew, my family did not understand Hebrew and little was ever explained. There was a prayer book, much of it was in English, some was transliterated into Hebrew sounds, and we recited the statements routinely. When I finally learned what the Bible really said many years later, I remember going to the last Seder (Passover ceremony) and told my family what I was learning. My uncle's reaction was that "you can't believe that, it's tradition..." And so I decided to stay with what I learned and believed to be the truth about God. (Hope that helps to explain my transition...)

So what I meant by the Bible is the basic 66 books from Genesis to Revelation. But now that I review your post again, since you say your Bible is apparently what is called the "Old Testament" by some, do you believe that Moses existed as written in your Bible. At least when I went to synagogue I was taught he existed, and it was not a myth about Moses but really happened as written.

Hell, I also don't think it was meant to be a history book. It's a book of spirituality.
