These habits, more often than not, have been established by church history and reaffirmed by the church leadership as they focused upon or followed teachings that were familiar to them. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe word Bible, as with the expressions Old and New Testament, is commonly used by people from all ethne, nations. The appropriate term to use for the Hebrew Scriptures is \u003ci\u003eTanakh\u003c\/i\u003e (the Old Testament). \u003cbr\u003eThis word \u003ci\u003eTanakh\u003c\/i\u003e is derived from the Hebrew letters of its three components: \u003ci\u003eTorah\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eNevi'im\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e, \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eKetuvim\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e.\u003c\/i\u003e In Luke 24:44, the Messiah identifies these same three components: \"law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms\" (KJV). \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHebrews 6:1-2 (CJB), \"Therefore, leaving behind the initial lessons about the Messiah, let us go on to maturity, not laying again the foundation of turning from works that lead to death, trusting God, and instruction about washings, \u003ci\u003es'mikhah\u003c\/i\u003e, the resurrection of the dead and eternal punishment.\"\u003cbr\u003eThe Hebrew word \u003ci\u003es'mikhah\u003c\/i\u003e has deeper cultural and biblical meaning than the expression, \"laying on of hands,\" which we will get into later.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Reilly,Michael W.
