Judaeo Christian

A detailed Summary of Judaeo Christian

Psalms, Genesis, and Exodus are three different portions of the bible that I feel serve two different purposes. There are many major differences in the way that God's relationship with humankind is expressed in Psalms, and the way that it is expressed in Genesis and Exodus. In my paper I intend to go over the differences that I feel are the most important in understanding what Psalms, Genesis, and Exodus add to the bible.

In Psalms, the relationship between God and humankind is not one where any physical or verbal interaction takes place. Interaction of the physical or verbal nature does not take place with God or anything that God creates in Psalms. God does not give the humans any rules, consequences, or commands. God does not express any emotions in Psalms, the people do.

One major aspect of Psalms is humankind boasting about how great and powerful God is. This is exemplified all throughout Psalms, such as in Psalm 8:1, where a mortal states "Lord our sovereign, how glorious is your name throughout the world! Your majesty is praised as high as the heavens." God's praise is also brought out in Psalms 9:1-9:2 where a mortal says "I shall give praise to you Lord, with my whole heart, I shall recount all of your marvelo

Another example of God handing out consequences is found in Genesis 6:7, when after the Lord had seen how wicked the human race could be he said "I shall wipe off the face of the earth this human race which I have created-yes, man and beast, creeping things and birds. I regret I ever made them." Shortly after this in Genesis 7:1 the Lord says to Noah, whom the lord thought well of, "Go into the ark, (which God had instructed Noah to build earlier) you and all your household, for you alone in this generation I have found to be righteous." I feel that this is an important excerpt because it in my opinion shows that God is not heartless and without reason in his judgements.

Another good example of God setting rules and interacting with the human race starts in Exodus 20:2, when God tells Moses the ten commandments and then goes on to state other rules for the people to live by in their daily lives. One of these such rules is in Exodus 21:12 where God says to Moses "Whoever strikes another man and kills him must be put to death. But if he did not act with intent, but it comes about by act of God, the slayer may flee to a place which I shall appoint for you." I think that this is meant by God to be the way murder is dealt with in the justice system of the human race. Another one of these rules is presented in Exodus 22:20 where God says to Moses "Whoever sacrifices to any god but the Lord must be put to death under solemn ban." In my opinion God says this to put the fear of God into the people so that they will be faithful to God.

In the writings of Genesis and Exodus there is a lot of verbal and physical interaction with God. God gives humankind many rules, consequences, and commands. One example of this is in Genesis when God forbade Adam and Eve to eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. After Adam and Eve ate the fruit of the t
