The Torah is the Old Testament. The Bible is the New Testament.
Yes, it is a chronological story line, the Bible expands on the Torah. However, if you take the time to read it, God is completely different in the New Testament. In the new God is concerned with forgiveness and loving thy neighbor. In the Old he's mostly fire and brimstone. The VAST majority of attacks people have on Christianity actually come from the Old Testament. Homosexuality, slavery, the killing for eating shrimp, etc. are all aspects and duties of the Old Testament. No where do you see Jesus calling for anyone to be stoned.
