Best Answer

you should look in a bible

Answer 2

A quick look at the names of the sacred Jewish books implies that they constitute the O.T. and are the same thing.
However, there are some important differences. One difference is that the Jewish Bible (the Tanakh) is only in the original Hebrew. Any translation is, at best, no more than an indication of what the Tanakh is saying. Many verses teach us a number of things.
Another difference is that the Christian Old Testament may contain a few books that are not in the Tanakh (such as the books of Judith and Sirach).

Yes. A quick look at the names of the sacred Jewish books implies that they constitute the O.T. and are the same thing.

The books of the Jewish Bible are:

Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, Joshua, Judges, Samuel, Kings, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, the Twelve Minor Prophets (Hosea, Joel, etc.), Psalms, Proverbs, Job, Song of Songs, Ruth, Lamentations, Ecclesiastes, Esther, Daniel, Ezra & Nehemiah, and Chronicles.

However, there are some important differences.

One difference is that the Jewish Bible (the Tanakh) is only in the original Hebrew. Any translation, whether done by Jews or Gentiles, is, at best, no more than an indication of what the Tanakh is saying. The translations leave out all or most of the Hebrew Bible's accompanying oral tradition, its traditional musical chant (cantillation, which provides punctuation and emotion), and the fact that many verses teach us a number of things.

Another difference is that the Christian Old Testament may contain a few books that are not in the Tanakh (such as the books of Judith and Sirach [and others] which are in the Catholic O.T.).

What is the Bible word for the end of time?

The New Testament concept of the end of time is called "parousia". This is a Greek word that means arrival - when Jesus will come, although most New Testament authors obviously believed that he had already come and that the parousia would be a second coming. Mark believed that the end of time would occur within his generation, but later authors began to accept that it would not be soon. However, in the Tanakh (Jewish Bible), there is no talk of the 'end of the world' at all.

What was the Christian Testament and you do not know where it can be found in the Bible?

First that question is not properly written to give you the perfect answer. The "Christian testament"? The Bible is made out of the "Old Testament" and the "New Testament" which is the Bible. The Bible is broken up by different books that create the Old and the New. In the Old Testament, that is where Jesus has not yet come to earth and die for our sins. Therefore, in the Old Testament there was worse judgment on the world. Then, the New Testament is when Jesus finally came to earth to die for our sins so that we may have eternal life. Basically, the Bible is in two halves. The Old Testament starts with Genesis where God talks about how he created the world. Then the New Testament starts in the Book of Matthew then so on. If you are looking to study about Jesus Christ, start with the New Testament.

Does the Bible say that Jesus is the mediator of salvation?

This occurs only in parts of the Bible. The Old Testament comprises the majority of the Bible, written before Jesus was born. The New Testament has portions in which Jesus is to have said that one can only come to God the Father through him (thus achieving salvation).
