Document Summary
Torah is considered the laws for the jewish people. The stories are there for guidance, but they are not very important. Christians see the laws as being not valid. They believe in the death and subsequent rising of christ. They take the stories to be literal. There was no opposition or background into where god came from. Genesis does not mention heaven and hell. It only tells you the things you need to know. Shows human deviance from god"s original view. Eve is driven away because of her curiosity. Hard to grow food out of the ground. God smited the tower of babel in babalon. Migrants are seen in a better view, by them living off of the divine hand. They end up in egypt, and they later become enslaved. Moses is given divine intervention, so that he can go against the egyptian pharohs.
