bibles

i saw the dead sea scrolls today, the exhibit was kinda dry actually but i read it so meticulously. actually there wasn't a whole of text and theology. these dealt with the find of the dead sea scrolls in 1947 at Qumran of a Jewish fundamentalist(essene) sect called the Yadah(assembly) or 'edah (community) and they referred to historical figures

um... the Torah is the Hebrew Bible tho...

yes yes, but i had always heard it torah... calling it the hebrew bible seems somehow less kosher, especially in a museum .... i mean like calling it the christian qu'ran would seem similarly less proper.

but the Torah is the bible, to an extent. the timeline is a bit different in places, maybe, but the stories should be much the same in a lot of ways... Calling in the Christian qu'ran would be back-asswards since they have nothing to do with one another...

and saying that it's "less kosher" didja mean that as weirdly as it came out, that you were referring to the Torah, which is Jewish?
