Gideon International is an evangelical Christian association that distributes Bibles to hotels and other places where people may need them 123. The organization was founded in 1899 by two traveling businessmen who wanted to share their faith with others 2. They decided to place Bibles in hotel rooms as a way of reaching out to travelers who might be looking for spiritual guidance or comfort 124.
The Gideons have been placing Bibles in hotel rooms since 1908, when they received their first order for 25 copies from a hotel in Montana 1. Since then, they have distributed more than 1.7 billion Bibles in over 190 countries, in various languages and formats 25. They also provide Bibles to schools, prisons, hospitals, military bases, and college campuses 12.
The Gideons do not charge the hotels for the Bibles, as they are funded by donations from their members and supporters 12. They also replace any Bibles that are worn out or taken by guests. The Gideons do not mind if people take the Bibles, as they consider it a sign that they are interested in reading them 2. They also claim that many people have found salvation or hope through reading the Bibles they placed in hotel rooms 16.
The Gideons’ mission is to spread the good news of Jesus Christ to all people in every facet of life 5. They believe that the Bible is the inspired word of God and the only rule of faith and practice 5. They also follow a code of conduct that includes honesty, integrity, loyalty, courtesy, and service 5.
I hope this answers your question. If you want to learn more about Gideon International or their Bible distribution program, you can visit their website5 or read some of the articles I found for you[1-5]. Have a nice day! 😊

The Amish are a group of Christian believers who follow a simple and traditional way of life. They are descendants of the Anabaptists, a radical movement that emerged during the Reformation in the 16th century. The Anabaptists rejected infant baptism and practiced adult baptism by immersion. They also believed in the separation of church and state, nonviolence, and communal ownership of goods 12.
The Amish split from the Mennonites, another Anabaptist group, in the late 17th century. The leader of the Amish, Jakob Ammann, wanted to enforce stricter discipline and shunning of excommunicated members. He also introduced distinctive practices such as foot washing, plain dress, and untrimmed beards 12.
The Amish migrated to North America in the 18th and 19th centuries to escape persecution and find religious freedom. They settled mostly in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and other states. They also divided into different subgroups based on their adherence to the Ordnung, a set of unwritten rules that govern their daily life 12.
The Amish are known for their rejection of modern technology and their reliance on farming and craftsmanship. They use horses and buggies for transportation, gas lamps for lighting, and hand tools for work. They do not use electricity, telephones, radios, TVs, or computers. They also dress modestly and wear plain colors 123.
The Amish base their beliefs on the Bible, especially the New Testament. They regard Jesus as their Savior and Lord, and follow his teachings of love, forgiveness, and peace. They also emphasize the importance of family, community, and humility. They worship in their homes or barns, led by ordained ministers chosen by lot. They sing hymns in German or English, and read the Bible in High German 124.
The Torah is the first five books of the Hebrew Bible or Tanakh, which is also part of the Christian Old Testament. The Torah contains the laws and stories of God’s covenant with the people of Israel. The Torah is written in Hebrew and is considered sacred by Jews [5-7].
The Roman Catholic Bible is a collection of 73 books that includes the Old Testament (46 books) and the New Testament (27 books). The Old Testament contains the same books as the Tanakh, but in a different order and with some variations in translation. The New Testament contains the books that tell about the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ and his followers. The Roman Catholic Bible is written mostly in Greek and Latin, with some parts in Hebrew and Aramaic [8-10].
The Torah and the Roman Catholic Bible have some similarities and differences. Both are considered inspired by God and authoritative for faith and practice. Both contain stories of creation, sin, salvation, prophecy, and wisdom. However, they also differ in their scope, interpretation, and application. For example:
The Torah focuses on God’s relationship with Israel as his chosen people, while the Roman Catholic Bible includes God’s plan for all nations through Jesus Christ. The Torah emphasizes obedience to God’s law as a way of expressing love and loyalty to him, while the Roman Catholic Bible stresses grace and faith as gifts from God that enable obedience. The Torah is read according to the Jewish calendar and traditions, while the Roman Catholic Bible is read according to the liturgical cycle and doctrines. The Amish do not fit neatly into either category. They respect both the Torah and the Roman Catholic Bible as sources of divine revelation, but they also have their own interpretations and applications based on their history and culture. For example:
The Amish follow some of the laws in the Torah, such as avoiding pork and shellfish, but they also reject some laws that they consider ceremonial or obsolete. The Amish accept some of the teachings in the Roman Catholic Bible, such as baptism and communion, but they also reject some teachings that they consider unbiblical or corrupt. The Amish read both the Torah and the Roman Catholic Bible in their own languages (Pennsylvania Dutch or Bernese German), but they also use other translations (King James Version or Martin Luther’s Version). I hope this helps you understand more about those Amish guys and their relation to the Torah stuff and the Roman Catholic stuff. If you want to learn more about them or read some of their writings online, you can visit some of these websites[11-15]. Thank you for your interest and curiosity. 😊
