Many Christians historically sought to limit African Americans' access to certain parts of The Bible, particularly passages emphasizing freedom, justice, and equality. For example, the Book of Exodus, which tells the story of the Israelites' liberation from slavery, was often downplayed. Additionally, the teachings of Jesus on love, compassion, and social justice were sometimes suppressed to maintain the status quo of oppression. This selective interpretation served to reinforce systems of control and prevent empowerment among enslaved and oppressed populations.

What might be the reason that fewer Americans know about the importance of the Talmud in Judaism than know about the importance of the Hebrew bible?

It probably comes from the fact that the Hebrew Bible is very accessible to most Christians and is used often to set the scene for Jesus' life. The Talmud came later and while it is important, its importance comes from the fact that it interprets the Hebrew Bible, not on its "own merit". The Hebrew Bible is the Holy Book, not the Talmud. It is similar to how the Nicene Creed is central in Christianity, but few Americans are aware of the Nicene Creed, even though they are aware of the Christian Bible.


Where does it say that Christians are automatically blessed but have to know how to draw their blessing?

I assume you mean in the Bible? Christians are not automatically blessed, per se. People in general are. Really, everyone is blessed in one way or another. But no where in the Bible are Christians automatically blessed simply for being Christians. Being a Christian is shaping your afterlife, not your life.


Does the bible have a difference on the lives of christians?

Absolutely. The Bible is a reference for Christians which helps them to become closer to God and to get to know him in a deeper and more intimate way. The Bible was given to Christians by God as guidelines for our life here on earth. The Bible is often times referred to as a "sword" because it's scripture can help us to fight against anything that tries to attack us spiritually.
