Bible Study

One of the biggest mistakes Christians make in reading the Bible, is forgetting, ignoring the fact, that to be a good Christian, we must study the Christ, and the Christ was a very good Jew.

So in my opinion, in order to be a good Christian, you first have to be a good Jew...

The "Old Testament" is actually the "Torah".

My pastor now addresses the Old Testament as the Torah.

Respect for all beliefs.
***
Jews, in my studies, and I am no expert, never refered to the serpent as Satan, as the Christians do.

The serpent wasn't evil, it just was...

G*d placed the tree of the knowledge of good and evil in the center of the garden and placed a great big "HEY, DON'T EAT THIS FRUIT,OR YOU WILL DIE" sign on it.

Why'd he/she do that?

No fence, no guards to protect it, no obstacles to surmount, no bottomless pit to cross.

It was meant to be eaten.

How can that be a sin?
