WHAT IS THE ETERNAL BOOK?

[Brian M. Leahy]

COULD SOMEONE PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT IS THE ETERNAL BOOK?

Edit to add: It's eternal because everyone gets potty trained. And it's one of the only subjects where all people agree.

I will be removing my name from this forum if this is the sort of reply one may meet.

It's an open forum. You may get replies like this. And it provides an answer to the question you asked (although it does need commentary).

Also, your question needs some context. Which religion are you asking about? Why do you think there *is* an 'eternal book'? What tradition are you coming from that leads you to ask the question?

I searched for "eternal book" and didn't get any solid hits - can you describe this idea in more detail?

This place is definitely not for the faint of heart or thin of skin...

I apologize.

I was making a stupid joke.

The point I was making was, that It's eternal because everyone gets potty trained. And it's one of the only subjects where all people agree.

I feel very old and I know not how long I have to live so I'm in a hurry. At the moment I'm attempting to understand the history of the "creation of the state of Israel" and I came across the following.
I think that Israel's Declaration of Independence was an excerpt from Martin Gilbert’s “Story of Israel” and that David Ben Gurion read out, “The Jewish people came into being in Eretz Israel [the Land of Israel]. Here their spiritual, religious and political identity was shaped. Here they first achieved statehood, created cultural values of national and universal significance, and gave to the world the eternal Book of Books. Ergo, What is the eternal Book of Books?

I had to Google that. I had no idea. Apparently, it is an explanation of the first five books of the Old Testament called the Pentateuch in Greek or the Torah by Jews from a Kabbalistic viewpoint. This is what is called Jewish mysticism which I find very interesting. It is spirituality. Mans' relationship with God.

It's a phrase that was made up by Ben Gurion referring to the Tanach.

Unless you did not type exactly what you meant to say I have to point out that Gilbert's book was published in 2008 - decades after the creation of the State of Israel.

I'm sorry. It must have been that old yellow and crinkled dry book I threw in the fire yesterday.

Should have looked at the title. My bad.

The eternal book of book's is the Torah
