The Bible is an accumulation of historical books that are comprised into the now known Bible, which has a variety of versions. However, the Christian Bible is composed of two Testaments. The Old Testament and the New Testament, whereas the Jewish Torah is only composed of one, the Old Testament. In the text, "Beginning Biblical Studies," revised by Marielle Frigge; she presents a section on sin in chapter 5. Sin is addressed as rebellious, distorted, and an act of forsaking’s God’s covenant. Sin is an act of withdrawal from God’s will, as a result of the Bible which states the Lord has a plan for us. In Jeremiah 29:11-14; God’s plan is expressed for the people to call upon him, not for evil, but only good. However, in 1 Samuel 12:20-25 and 15:22-23; the Lords message is expelled out to the people to turn away from their sinful ways. For sin is rebellion, arrogance, and idolatry, which will all be rejected by God.…

Although seen by many throughout the world as a pseudo-Christian cult, Jehovahs Witnesses also known as the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, identifies themselves as the only authentic followers of Jehovah. Christian scholars and apologists however continue to disprove their claim due to the multitude of pseudo-doctrines, which are clearly outside of orthodox Christianity. Charles Russell founded this movement in Pennsylvania as a Bible Study group in 1872. He had difficulty accepting the idea of hell and therefore came to deny its existence and from then on attacked core elements of Christianity such as the Trinity using his personal interpretations…
The second part (2:6- 3:6) indicates the basic perspective on the period from the time of Joshua to the rise of the monarchy, a time that is characterized by the re-occurring cycles previously stated.

I will also expose the myths and fallacies of human trafficking in an attempt to bring honesty and truth to this very disturbing subject. In view of the plight of those trafficked, something must be done.…

The first 39 books of the larger work called the Bible, is called the Old Testament. The Bible itself is arguably the best selling and most read book of all time, yet it’s well known to be quite challenging to read through and understand. The Old Testament portion of the Bible, notably the most difficult portion of the Bible for most to study and follow, yields 39 books from multiple authors, and spans over 4000 years of crucial world and church history. If that were not enough to take on, the Old Testament comes our way through multiple styles of authorship and formats, including but not limited to, books of history, law, proverbs, ethics, philosophy, treatises, dramas, songs, epics, biographies, and letters. There have been many books written and published to survey, explain, and/or bring to light the Old Testament, but none more helpful to me than the review subject of this paper, the work of Dr. Elmer L. Towns, entitled “A Journey Through the Old Testament”.…
