Exploring the Terminology and Organization of the Scriptures

The scriptures are referred to as the love of Moses, the prophets, and the Psalms, while they never actually call themselves the Bible. The Bible commonly refers to itself as the scriptures or mentions the law, the prophets, and the Psalms to describe its components. The term 'word of God' can be misleading because in the New Testament, it often refers to Jesus or the gospel. The organization of the Hebrew Bible in Jesus' time differed from the modern Christian Bible, highlighting the Torah as the first five books, followed by the writings of prophets and Psalms. The unique order of the modern Christian Bible, like reading Samuel, Kings, and then Chronicles, can be confusing but doesn't invalidate its content.
