Is this a sin if a Christian reads another religion Holy book. Torah for example?

And what about others religions? What does it say about reading other religions Holy books?Is this a sin if a Christian reads another religion Holy book. Torah for example?
That was a good one. Only two of the 11 showed that they know that torah is part of the bible.
Why not? It should only strengthen your faith to see how wrong they are, right?Is this a sin if a Christian reads another religion Holy book. Torah for example?
Nope. Nothing in the bible (that I am aware of) precludes you from reading up on other faiths and religions. In fact, knowing about other traditions helps you know how to evangelize the Gospel to its participants.
The first five books of the OT are the Torah. They are called the Five Books of Moses or Pentateuch.



There's nothing wrong with reading other holy or spiritual books.Is this a sin if a Christian reads another religion Holy book. Torah for example?
No. I think you should read all you can, if for no other reason than to be educated.
No, it's not. If it were, we wouldn't have a Bible at all. The Apostolic Community (the early Church Fathers) had a lot of texts to sort through while determining which books were to be canonized, many of which were Gnostic texts. The Roman Catholic Church had a list of ''forbidden books'' for a while, but I think this was probably a reaction to the Protestant Reformation, and the ban has been lifted. By the way, the Torah (Christians often call it the Pentateuch or the Law of Moses) is the first five books of the Old Testament.
Of course it is!



Not really. :]




As long as you don't accept it as your religious book of choice I'd say you'll be ok.
Of course not.



There's nothing wrong with reading any religious book, no matter which religion the book belongs to.
Answer: If I'm not mistaken, the Torah is PART of what are recognized as "Christian" Scriptures -- as well as being Jewish scriptures. It would not be considered sinful to read the scriptures of other religions so that you can know the differences between other religions and your own.
Only if you are looking for spiritual truth in those works. I have read bits and pieces of other religious works - mostly those of false cults of the Christian faith, but a little bit of others, too. But I was not looking in them for spiritual truth - though if they had the truth I was open to it. I looked at them to understand a little about what they believe and why.



Only do this if your faith in Christ and God is strong. And do so with much prayer. If you are not strong in faith, you may open yourself to deception, for some of what they say is true, and some is outright lie, and some takes a truth and twists it into a lie - which can easily lead someone astray.
It's not a sin if you read the book but if your interested in it and you actually believed it then it's a sin.
Idk if it's a sin, but remember that while reading other books like the Torah, it does have different beliefs that the Bible. You should be carefull not to get too wrapped up into other religion's books. Keep in mind what the truth is, one true God.
