WHICH IS THE TRUE BIBLE?
The Bible is a set of books that are
inspired by God.
However, the various religions and sects
do not agree about the length of the
list of the books that are inspired by God,
and that therefore are part of the Bible.
The list of books considered inspired by
God is called canon, and each
religion or sect has its own canon of the Bible, in other words, its own list
of books considered inspired by God.
Therefore, there are several Bibles,
because each religion or sect has its own Bible, and some have a smaller number
of books, and others have a larger number of books.

Therefore, we need to know which of
these Bibles is the true Bible.
As each religion or sect has its own
Bible, then the true Bible is the Bible of the religion or sect that is the
correct one.
Therefore, we need to know which of
these religions or sects is the correct one.
The five first books of the Bible,
Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy, who are present in the
Bibles of all the religions and sects, are in fact one only book, divided into
five volumes, called the Book of the Law (in Hebrew, Sepher Torah), because it
contains the Law of God (Torah).
In these five first books of the Bible
are the commandments of God.
The Roman Catholic Church, the Greek
Orthodox Church, the Syrian Orthodox Church, the Ethiopian Orthodox Church and
the Protestant and Evangelical churches, say that it is not necessary to obey
all the commandments of God, which
are in the Law of God (the five
first books of the Bible), as, for example, the commandment of doing the
circumcision (Genesis 17:9-14 and Exodus 12:48-49 and Leviticus 12:3), the
commandment of not eating the unclean animals (Leviticus 11), the commandment
of keeping Saturday (Exodus 20:8-11), and the commandment of doing the holidays
of God (Leviticus, chapter 23).
Therefore, it’s obvious that these
religions or sects are wrong, because they recognize that God gave the commandments that are in
His Law (five first books of the Bible), and however they say that it’s not
necessary to obey several commandments of God.
Well, if God is the Creator of all things, and is
the Lord of all human beings, it’s obvious that we must obey all His
commandments, and it’s obvious that all the religions or sects that say that
it’s not necessary to obey all the commandments of God are wrong religions or wrong sects.
So, the correct religion or sect only
can be the Judaism, because only this
religion says that we must obey all the commandments of the Law of God.
Therefore, the correct Bible is the
Bible of the Judaism, which is composed only
by the Tanach (which the Christians call
Old Testament), without the addition of the apocryphal books
Consequently, all our beliefs, doctrines
and practices must be based on the Bible of the Judaism
(Tanach), which is the true Bible.
It is interesting to notice that the Christian Bibles are very contradictory,
because in them it is written that God
commanded us to do the circumcision (Genesis 17:9-14 and Leviticus 12:3 and
Exodus 12:48-49), and not to eat the unclean animals (Leviticus 11), and to
keep the Shabbat (Exodus 20:8-11), and to do the feasts of God (Leviticus 23), and however in them
it is also written, in the part that they call The New Testament, that Jesus
Christ abolished the Law of God
(Ephesians 2:15), and that we must not do the circumcision (Galatians 5:2), and
that it is allowed to eat any animal (Matthew 15:10-20 and Mark 7:14-23 and
Acts 10:9-16 and Romans 14:14 and 14:20 and 1 Corinthians 10:25 and 1 Timothy
4:4), and that we need not to keep the Shabbat (Matthew 12:1-8 and Mark 2:23-28
and Luke 6:1-5 and John 5:8-9 and 5:16-18 and Romans 14:5 and Galatians 4:10-11
and Colossians 2:16-17), and that we don’t need to do the feasts of God, commanded by Him (Galatians 4:10-11
and Colossians 2:16-17).
This clearly shows that the Christian Bibles are false, because the
contradiction evidences the lie.
