My understanding of the bible has changed and continues to do so with each passing day. Instituted into me at an early age, the bibles scriptures and lessons were truly god's spoken word. Growing older Iam beginning to realize certain discrepancies that has altered my view on the bible. Small in ways but yet enough to question my whole upbringing. After now learning of how the bible was original written compared to its current use leaves more doubt to my understanding of the bible.

Never question the scriptures or doubt the everlasting truth that the bible contains.

Once crossing those lines you're slowly but surely heading on straight to hell. Those two themes struck a nerve with me and kept my view to just avoid going to hell.

Steven DiMattei) there are actually two different accounts of the commandments. The Ten Commandments that we have known and another set of commandments which are called Yahweh's Ten Commandments which have seems to have gone unnoticed. Apparently the second version is and revised edition after breaking of the first covenant after Yahweh's people had made and god like image clearly violating the first commandment "no other gods before me". These two versions the seem to be very silamar but with original and its commandments are more ethical versus Yahweh's version with an more ritualistic approach. Why not have the 20 commandments or an collection of both that suited both sides the ethical and ritualistic, instead of mix messages that has been blended together. With the bible being translation over centuries ago couldn't these two version more in tune with the King James Version where the act of re-giving is just as miserable as other stories in the Old

Ehrman makes it a point throughout the textbook to emphasize that his approach is consistently from a historical perspective. His apparent goal is to familiarize the student with New Testament writings and early Christian writings by “emphasizing the rich diversity of the earliest Christian literature.” (xxvii) What the reader is left with is a textbook that comes across as being written from an interpretive standpoint where it is apparent Ehrman views his interpretation to be the one true expression of

When talking about the bible it is not important to reach the conclusion on the conversation it is important to start the conversation. Interpretation of the bible needs to be an open mind. Some people are going to think differently of the bible than you; but you have to keep an open mind because there is no right or wrong answer. You also have to forget what everyone else is telling you about the bible to be able to have your view and interpret what you think of it with the opinion of other people. The bible does not only have one view and as Brueggemann states, “The Bible requires human interpretation which is inescapably subjective.”

Moral absolutism is the ethical belief that there are absolute standards where actions can be judged as right or wrong, regardless of the context of the act. Absolute moral rules are difficult to universalize, thus they are difficult for everyone everywhere to abide by them. When I think of absolutism, I think of the ten commandments in the Bible. Commandments such as; Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not kill, and Thou shalt not covet thy neighbors wife, all are examples of absolute standards and rules. For true believers under no circumstance are these commandments to be broken.

Reading about where the bible came from and all the differences between Bibles we now know about, was a new learning for me. Growing up in a catholic church I was taught only from the Catholic Bible and read only reading and gospels from that Bible. I was taught to believe in only what that Bible stated and nothing else.

Interpretations of the Second Commandment: Ambiguity and Clarity Despite the tumultuous changes that have occurred over the last five thousand years one thing remains constant: Human hypocrisy. Early Jewish and Early Christian art is a prime example of human hypocrisy in action and both exist as a result of a necessary interpretation of the second commandment to help people understand the Jewish and Christian religion. While the Jewish people adopted a more abstract form of art, Early Christian art is distinctly different as it creates real and almost idol like images due to the influence of the Roman Empire. Jewish artists made works that were more humble and abstract than other pieces found in that time period in order to follow the second

There are different internal compasses that people utilize to point them towards the path of morality. The most common that probably still remains is The Golden Rule also referred to as the ethic of reciprocity. The Golden Rule stands for: “Treat others the way you want to be treated”.

These laws were called the 10 commandments and were found in Exodus 20: 3-17. Christians were not to worship idols, use the lord’s name in vain, commit adultery and murder, steal, or lie against our neighbors. But as Christians we had to honor our parents, and have no other gods. The 10 commandments were God’s way of promising his people a promise land, after they went astray. The 10 commandments were laws that God wanted his people to not only standby but to go out and teach it to others.

This covenant is found in Exodus 19-24 and Deuteronomy. These books are the structure for the Judicial law which the Israelites follow even to this day.
