† Christian's Sacred Book †

In this section, we are going to talk about the Sacred Book of Christianity, Bible.

* Christianity originally developed as a part of Judaism. Jesus was a Jew.
Two Versions:
* Old Testament (original Hebrew Bible)- same as Jewish’s Torah, sacred book of the Jewish faith. Include Jewish laws, historical, and prophetic writings. As a Jew, Jesus taught Jewish ideas. 100% belongs to Judaism
* New Testament- rewrote by Jesus’ 12 disciples which are Christians. Christianity’s main holy book. 100% about Christianity.

Passage from the New Testament
‘Then one of the twelve disciples- the one named Judas Iscariot- went to chief priests and said, “What will you give me if I hand Jesus over to you?” So they counted out thirty silver coins and gave them to him. From then on Judas was looking for a good chance to betray Jesus.’
* Explanation: Judas, one of Jesus’12 disciples betray him by telling leading the Romans to where Jesus is currently staying. Just because of his greed for money.
* Connection to ‘The Last Supper’: Jesus knew that Judas was the traitor. Despite that fact, he still invites him along with the other 11 disciples to eat the last dinner with him before he goes on trial and get kill by the Romans tomorrow. Then, Jesus announce: “I tell you, one of you will betray me. The one who dips his bread in the dish.” Judas said: “Surely you don’t mean me, Teacher?” Still, Jesus forgave the sins Judas had done.
