The Bible thing

The Bible is a collection of stories about the history of our Faith over the last 4000 years. It tells us of our creation, the lives of Abraham, Moses, Jesus, David, and all the other aspects of how our faith came to be. In the early days, no one knew how to write, so stories were passed on through oral tradition. All the stories of their people were passed on from the storytellers to the youth. During the time of the Jews' captivity in Babylon, the priest feared that the stories would die out because so many of the story tellers had been killed, so they began writing them down, thus, we have our bible today.
