The Bible is the Word of God, gives all humanity the necessary knowledge and beliefs to receive God's salvation, and is born again by the life of God. Reading the Bible also teaches us much about God, Christianity, Jesus and his words. To understand and understand the Bible and the Bible literature it is important to understand the historical background and many other factors. This article discusses the importance of reading the Bible, how to understand it, and applying it to our daily lives using what we have read in the Bible.
The Old Testament (Hebrew Bible): The first part of the Christian Bible. It is also known as the Jewish Hebrew Bible. There are 24 books in the Hebrew Bible, the Protestant Bible divides 24 more books into 39 books. The order of the Catholic Bible is the same as the Protestant Bible, but it contains seven other books called the Dutero canonical book. The Orthodox Bible contains other books (Prothero 2008: 260). Appointment: Some churches divide members for ministers and priests. In Christianity this is usually done by prayer in the hand or by the call of the Holy Spirit. The priesthood is considered a sacrament of Catholic and Orthodox traditions. Roman Catholic church, Orthodox church, and evangelical church are only men. Meanwhile, liberal, some sacred churches, and some Pentecostal churches appointed women (Reid et al. 1990: 846).
Today, Greek Orthodox, Roman Catholic, Ethiopian, Syrian, and Protestant traditions use different sizes of the Bible. 73 Catholic Bibles, 66 Protestant Bibles, and Ethiopian have 81 books. But which Bible is correct? Which is most authoritative? I encourage you to read Apocrypha and read other stories that are preserved in other Christian traditions of the Bible. This belongs to the same story. Are we not consistent with Christ? What does the Orthodox teach us about Jesus? What can you learn from Catholic friends? We pray each other, eat bread, drink together, and learn a variety of traditions of ours. After all, everyone is centered on Christ.
