Interesting. I didn't know that.

Did Moses write the Torah laws? Who wrote the first five books of the Bible?

DID MOSES
WRITE THE TORAH?

It has been a traditional belief that Moses was the author who wrote the first five books of the Bible,known as the Torah (the law) or the Pentateuch. No one was present at the time to verify that Moses did indeedwrite the entire law, however this belief can be tested by examining the books in question.

Even a cursory investigation is enough to conclusively demonstrate that no single individual,Moses or not, wrote them, but that rather they are composed of a conflation of conflictingand diverse source materials with the component parts composed over a span of many centuries.Finally these divergent sources were edited and then conflated in a single set of manuscripts.................

That's the longer, more accurate explanation. :)

In reality, it wasn't even Luke that said so in Luke 16. No one knows who wrote Matthew, Mark, Luke or John, they were all penned by unknown authors.


True enough, but I didn't really feel like going down that line of debating with AV.

Correct.

I believe it's called the Tablet Theory, or the Wiseman Hypothesis.

How do you come to this conclusion
Well, for one thing, Moses wasn't born until Exodus.

For another ... do you know what colophons are?

Also note ...

Genesis 5:1a This is the book of the generations of Adam.

Yes, I think I'm going to bow out of this conversation as well.

I'm not going to cast my pearls before you guys; you'll trample them and then rend me ... as you're starting to do already.

You're not really interested in learning, so I'm not really interested in teaching.

Thats your choice. And, it is my choice to reject your claim.
You have no idea what you're rejecting.

I get accused of that all the time with evolution; that's one of the reasons why I take it with a grain of sand.

Mirror, mirror, on the wall.
That's right ...

I routinely get accused of doing the same thing.

As they say: Be careful when you point fingers at someone; three are pointing right back at you.

Speak for yourself when it comes to learning. AV, considering your track record of claims that can be proved false, I'm not sure you would be on my top ten list of teachers.

How do you know Moses wasn't born until Exodus? How do you know the events in Exodus occurred? What does the generations of Adam have to do with anything if you can still now provide evidence of Adam's existence.

I also do know what colophons are
