In this third part of the bible there is more than one story. The first story relates to the Tower of Babel where the descendents of Noah and his family decide that they want to build a tower so high that it could reach the heavens. And God decides that this is not what humans are meant for doing, so God decide that all the people who are constructing this enormous building change their native language. This story is really straight forward and teaches us that there are better thing to do than to reach the heavens.
The other story that is presented in this third part of the bible is Abrahams story his sons and his life. Abraham is a descendent from Noah and is another of the chosen persons on earth by God to be their profit. In one of the stories of Abraham is the Story of Jacob the dreamer. Jacob was one of Abraham’s many sons and because of the greed of his brothers Jacob was sold into slavery by his brothers and taken to Egypt to work as a slave. So we can see that greediness is seen in all of humans even in those days and it seems as if it was something natural that makes us sinners. This passage shows us what some greediness can lead to. The question that is left behind is, we greedy, how do we manage it?
Franklin Delano Roosevelt
Mr. Vice President, Mr. Speaker, Members of the Senate, and of the House of Representatives:
Yesterday, December 7th, 1941 -- a date which will live in infamy -- the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan.
The United States was at peace with that nation and, at the solicitation of Japan, was still in conversation with its government and its emperor looking toward the maintenance of peace in the Pacific.
Indeed, one hour after Japanese air squadrons had commenced bombing in the American island of Oahu, the Japanese ambassador to the United States and his colleague delivered to our Secretary of State a formal reply to a recent American message. And while this reply stated that it seemed useless to continue the existing diplomatic negotiations, it contained no threat or hint of war or of armed attack.
It will be recorded that the distance of Hawaii from Japan makes it obvious that the attack was deliberately planned many days or even weeks ago. During the intervening time, the Japanese government has deliberately sought to deceive the United States by false statements and expressions of hope for continued peace.
The attack yesterday on the Hawaiian islands has caused severe damage to American naval and military forces. I regret to tell you that very many American lives have been lost. In addition, American ships have been reported torpedoed on the high seas between San Francisco and Honolulu.
Yesterday, the Japanese government also launched an attack against Malaya.
Last night, Japanese forces attacked Hong Kong.
Last night, Japanese forces attacked Guam.
Last night, Japanese forces attacked the Philippine Islands.
Last night, the Japanese attacked Wake Island.
And this morning, the Japanese attacked Midway Island.
Japan has, therefore, undertaken a surprise offensive extending throughout the Pacific area. The facts of yesterday and today speak for themselves. The people of the United States have already formed their opinions and well understand the implications to the very life and safety of our nation.
As commander in chief of the Army and Navy, I have directed that all measures be taken for our defense. But always will our whole nation remember the character of the onslaught against us.
No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the American people in their righteous might will win through to absolute victory.
I believe that I interpret the will of the Congress and of the people when I assert that we will not only defend ourselves to the uttermost, but will make it very certain that this form of treachery shall never again endanger us.
Hostilities exist. There is no blinking at the fact that our people, our territory, and our interests are in grave danger.
With confidence in our armed forces, with the unbounding determination of our people, we will gain the inevitable triumph -- so help us God.
I ask that the Congress declare that since the unprovoked and dastardly attack by Japan on Sunday, December 7th, 1941, a state of war has existed between the United States and the Japanese empire.

Genesis 5 - 11
In these chapters the basic story is the one of Noah and his story about the flood… Most of us know that story but the question is, do we understand why this happened? Some people may think it was because man kind was corrupt and deceived God’s principals, but there is more. God is a figure that is always looking upon us (humans) and it is in this story or event that the KJV bible expresses that this does happen. How corrupt is human culture and why should it be destroyed. These are questions that are only answered in the bible. According to the KJV bible man’s corruptions comes from the greediness of Cain and from that moment on Man has always tried to be corrupt. God decides that the best solution for seeking an end to this corruption and deceiving of God’s principals, humankind should pay a price that is so high that meant death, the way of extermination and in this case the survival of the fittest in terms of religion, faith, and good values. So the question that is open- ended is, are we meeting God’s expectations, why does God have expectations? These are questions that can only be found in ones self.
Genesis 1 - 5
In the beginning of Genesis, the first book of the bible, God creates all living things and continuously works for six days and on the seventh day he rests. In those six days one of his creations is Man, this creations was meant to rule over all the already existing creatures of earth. God gives Man his blessings and is superior to any other creature. As time passes God finds loneliness by Man and decides to create a partner for him. This partner was to be Mans companion and couple. God decided that this new creature (mans companion) would have to be a direct creation from man, so God puts asleep Man and takes from him a rib that was then used to create the woman. Man then decided to name all living creature and he named himself Adam and his companion Eve. They were sent to a garden made by the almighty power of God called, Eden. It is then in the Garden of Eden that both Adam and Eve sin for the first time. This sin is recognized as the First sin of man kind and is the sin that all humans are born with according to Catholic Church teachings. It was this sin that changed all relation with God and his creation. Then the Genesis continues with Adam and Eve’s life story, their sons Cain and Abel, where Cain kills Abel because of greediness and then what happened to Cain and his descendents.
In this first part of the Bible Authorized by King James you can clearly see how it is similar to the Catholic version of the bible, so this version can be considered a descendent form the Catholic bible no only because it has the same information, but also because it has a similarity of teachings and basic knowledge that the person who wrote these passages wants the reader to understand.
