Bible |
The Bible
refers to one of two closely related religious texts central
to Judaism and Christianity, the Hebrew or Christian sacred
scriptures. The Hebrew Bible, composed between the 14th and
5th centuries BCE, is the main source for the history of
ancient Israel. The five books of the Torah comprise the
origins of the Israelite nation and its covenant with God.
Judaism recognizes a single set of canonical books known as
the Tanakh, also called Hebrew Bible, traditionally divided
into three parts: the Torah ("teaching" or "law"), the
Nevi'im ("prophets"), and the Ketuvim ("writings"). The
Bible as used by Christians adopted the Jewish, or Hebrew
Bible into its canon, classifying it as the "Old Testament".
Soon after the establishment of Christianity in the first
century, Church fathers compiled Gospel accounts, and
letters of apostles into a Christian Bible, in addition to
the adopted Jewish Bible. This became known as the New
Testament. The two together are referred to as "The Bible"
by Christians. |

vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh
his name in vain." (Exodus 20:7). Judaism states in the
third book of the Torah, that those who speak blasphemy
"shall surely be put to death" (Leviticus 24:16). Blasphemy

respect. The penalties for such behavior vary by

in sinsemilla is considerably more in comparison to cannabis
that has been pollinated, because the production of seeds
requires an immense amount of energy, and if left
unpollinated a female plant will divert all her energy to
calyx production in an effort to seize pollen. This is
especially desirable, as the calyx is where the highest
concentration of trichomes exists (in marijuana trichomes
contain THC), and the more densely packed a plant is with
calyces, the greater psychoactive effect that plant will
have depending on the strain. |
