The Bible

The bible is divided into to parts, called the old testament and the new testament.

Thirty-nine books make up the holy scripture.

The best known books of the Old Testament are genesis, exodus, psalm, job, Ecclesiastes, the song of Solomon, and Isaiah.

New Testament consists of twenty-seven books.

The main books of the new testaments are the four gospels - Matthew, mark, Luke, and John - and revelation.

Abraham is the ancestor of both Arabs and Jews.

Isaac and Ishmael are the son of Abraham.

Arabs are descendant of Ishmael, and Jews are descendant of Isaac.

God told Abraham to kill one of his son, Isaac, to test his faith.

God said to Adam and Eve these words, "Dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return", to remind them that they were made from dust, and are going to return to dust.

God is alpha and omega. He is the beginning and the end of the world.
