Jewish People and the Bible

How much of the Bible do Jews actually believe in.  Not just the part where GOD gave palestine to the Jews is it ????

Don't let the sun go down on me.

Victims of circumstance owe it to fate. Victims of choice owe it to themselves.

The Christian Old Testament contains exactly the same material as the Tanakh, the Jewish Scriptures, only the order is different. The Jews combine 1 and 2 Samuel. I don't know about other books. Both groups accept these texts as inspired and sacred.

Christians who make a distinction between Scripture with Jesus as the dividing line, are standing on shifting sands. Jesus Himself embraced the Tanakh (Torah, Nevi'im, and Ketuvim). It is what He studied growing up. He used it thru out His ministry. Here is a quote from Jesus, "Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill." - Mat 5:17. (NASB) And a paraphrase of the same: Don't suppose that I came to do away with the Law and the Prophets. [Oron- if you drop in here, please let me know it my understanding is correct about this. The phrase Law and the Prophets is shorthand for the entire Tanakh.] I did not come to do away with them, but to give them their full meaning. (CEV) This was the job of the prophets, to identify sin and to call people back to YHWH. In reading thru the New Testament, there are a remarkable number of quotes from the Tanakh.

How much of Scripture is believed? I will not attempt an answer for the Jews. I will say that as you move father into the liberal theologians camp, the less belief there is in the Bible (66 books).

Love is the battery of life....

Hi, --------- My friend JayR gave you an excellent answer, as he always does (2 thumbs up). My answer will be much more simple: The Jewish people believe only in what is written in the Bible (meaning only in the old Testament). ------------- 2 additional comments: The 2 books of Shmuel (= Samuel) are seperated (never combined) and Tanach (in Hebrew: תנ"ך) is the abbreviation of T - 1st letter of Torah, N - 1st letter on Nevi'im (= prophits), and the "ch" (pronounsed as the spanish J [e.g: Juan]) is the 1st letter of "Ktuvim".... ---------- Best regards,

Oron-

I did a quick Google and it showed that Ezra and Nehemiah are combined as a singular book. And that was the only instances of unification. Is this correct?

May all the blessings of the LORD be yours, my friend
