Tanakh/Tanach: I have seen you use the term Tanakh/Tanach. What does this term mean?
Tanach ($nt), also commonly spelled as Tanakh, is a composite Hebrew term for Torah (the Law), Neviim (Prophets), and Ketuvim (Writings). Messianic Believers prefer the term Tanach (Tanakh) rather than using the term Old Testament, because the term Old Testament often brings with it thoughts of these Scriptures being old and outdated. If anything, when the term Old Testament is used in writing or speaking, it is only done so for the familiarity of others who are unfamiliar with the term Tanach.
