Module 2 The origin of the Hebew Bible

Session 11 – The Hebrew Bible as a Mosaic

The session encourages us to view the biblical writings as a vast mosaic—a decorative piece created by joining smaller fragments. From this perspective, various accounts from different authors fit into a unified whole that reflects God’s sovereignty. He is shown as…

It’s incredible to reflect on these topics that we often overlook. To focus on what Satan lost and those who fell with him, who also have no chance of repentance because they had sufficient knowledge of who God is. And on the other hand, to think that we, being so imperfect, have that opportunity for repentance, not by our own efforts, but…

You’re absolutely right. Once you discover the meaning of those words, whether for personal study or for a class, the text truly comes alive. Having that urge to identify recurring words that highlight their importance, or their usage in the original language, helps us understand the text more accurately and enriches our understanding.…

Your statement about being able to hear God’s voice if we meditate on His word is very true. A careful study of what He left as His revelation allows us, first and foremost, to know Him as He allows Himself to be known. It allows us to know His will, to understand our spiritual standing in relation to Him, and what He has done through the… Read more

Session 9 What The Prophets say about teh Bible´s origin

The way this subject is approached is very interesting to me, specifically regarding several key highlights. The Torah was not produced in a single publication; as previously stated, it did not descend from heaven in its final version. Joshua wrote the ‘proto-Torah’—a synthesized, initial…

Excellent: This is a great contribution in discussing how events are narrated. What I see as important is not the event itself, but the way the authors recounted it, and even more so, the theological weight they imbued in their narrative. From an apologetics perspective, this type of approach relieves pressure on our faith when we see that…

Thank you for sharing. I’m very surprised to find these kinds of connections in the Old Testament narrative. I never would have thought to connect Jacob with Adam based on the words used in the narrative. Now, beyond the literary connection, what you mention about the honesty of the writing in not hiding the moral failings of its characters is striking.

Thank you for your insight into the class. I’m particularly surprised to understand this because, although I understood that the texts weren’t dictated word for word by God, I did think that the author awoke after a prophetic trance or a vision in which he was commanded to write a particular text. I didn’t realize that the texts were written as…

It’s a great topic to study, and personally, although I believe it, sometimes it seems very distant to think about the Lord’s second coming. And the matter becomes more complicated when we begin to address the different perspectives that don’t show what that second coming will be like.

Excellent. While the study of Scripture should be approached in a sense like any other book—that is, understanding its different genres, languages, and contexts, among other things—it remains a spiritual book and we must approach it with the spiritual tools we have. Prayer and the guidance of the Holy Spirit make all the difference.

Session 7: An Important Premise: The inspiration of Scripture

Session 5: The profet for come

One of the most impressive aspects of studying the connections within the Scriptures is how the overall picture becomes clear. It’s not just about the primary meaning of a passage and its context, but about how it connects with other texts to weave a cohesive narrative thread. This is precisely what we explored in…

Session 6 The Profecto to COme Psalm 1 and 2

We have learned in previous lessons that the organization of the Hebrew Bible’s structure is not arbitrary but rather follows a deliberate plan that gives the writing a cohesive thread and points to the Messiah in the New Testament. These are not isolated narratives.

For example, the Psalms are…

Thank you for sharing. It’s interesting how we can strengthen our study and understanding of scripture through different disciplines. Complementing and contrasting historical or archaeological findings with the narratives that scripture allows us to delve deeper into the culture of biblical times is invaluable.

It’s absolutely fascinating to delve into the context of the Dead Sea Scrolls.

The scribes (Soferim) kept count of the letters per line and the total number of lines in…
