Jesus was just a good man and do not believe he is the son of God. The
Tanakh which is Jewish and the Bible which is from Christianity both share
some of the same elements but there are still plenty of differences
between them. The Bible and the Tanakh also known as Tenakh or Tanach
have some of the same books and some that are different. There are a lot
of things that are the same and some things that are very different.
! The Tanakh and the Bible both have the “Old Testament” but there is
no old or new testament in the Tanakh, itʼs just the books in the old
testament. The Bible is split into two parts the old and the new testament
and the Tanakh is just one. In the Tanakh there are three parts, the Torah,
Neviʼim and the Ketuvim. These three parts have the same contents as the
Old Testament in the Bible but some are in a different order. The Torah
holds the first five books of the Bible which are referred to as the books of
Moses. The Neviʼim and the Ketuvim contain the rest of the old testament
but some are in a different order as I said before. Since the Tanakh has
only twenty- four books when the Bible has sixty-six books.
Moses is believed to have written the first five books of the Bible which is
the Torah, but some people believe that there were a number of
anonymous people who wrote these books. There were a number of
people who wrote different books of the Bible but some of them wrote
more than one such as Moses who wrote the whole first five books of the
Bible.

parchment also from the word biblios which means holy book, as for the
letters T, N and K stand for the 3 parts of the Tanakh which are the Torah
the Neviʼim and the Ketuvim. These three individual parts of the Tanakh
also have meanings which are, The Torah means law or instruction, the
Neviʼim means prophets and last but not least Ketuvim means writings.
These Bible and the Tanakh are both around estimated over 3500 years
old. The Bible was written around 95 CE or AD, the Tanakh was finished
