Bible Answer: The starting point -- indeed the foundation -- of the entire Bible is the Torah (the five books of Moses, the Pentateuch, the first five of the OT). Sh'ma, Yisra'el! ADONAI Eloheinu, ADONAI echad [Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God, the Lord is one]. Deut. 6:4-9 (ESV) "Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. [5] You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. [6] And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. [7] You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. [8] You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. [9] You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates. |
