Moses wrote what, when, on what, with what.

I'm just guessing that the OT was compiled a whole lot later...Rather like the Jesus tales of the NT.

Prove me wrong.

"According to the majority viewpoint", Moses wrote the first five books of the Bible, known as the Pentateuch or Torah, which are Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy.

Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
Didn't Trump say that?

God Calls Moses
3 One day while Moses was taking care of the sheep and goats of his father-in-law Jethro, the priest of Midian, he led the flock across the desert and came to Sinai, the holy mountain. 2 There the angel of the Lord appeared to him as a flame coming from the middle of a bush. Moses saw that the bush was on fire but that it was not burning up. 3 “This is strange,” he thought. “Why isn't the bush burning up? I will go closer and see.”
4 When the Lord saw that Moses was coming closer, he called to him from the middle of the bush and said, “Moses! Moses!”
He answered, “Yes, here I am.”
5 God said, “Do not come any closer. Take off your sandals, because you are standing on holy ground. 6 I am the God of your ancestors, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.” So Moses covered his face, because he was afraid to look at God.

What did Jesus say? That’s the topic.

According to the majority viewpoint.

A majority of who.

And from where was their viewpoint acquired.


I think you will find, that the majority of people are prepared just to unquestioningly accept that the bible was compiled by someone or someone's.

I also expect that the majority of people wouldn't have a clue about who might have had a hand in the composition of the first five chapters.

I further expect that the majority of people although recognising the biblical name Moses, would probably not have a clue as to what he supposedly did, nor when he did it.

I even further expect, that most labelled but lapsed Christians know very little if anything al all, about the first five books of the old testament and Moses's purported hand in their composition.


I'm guessing that what you mean, is a majority of biased  theological nerds.

The majority of biblical scholars.

That's what I said.

Who probably make up 0.0000001% of the population.


NB. (0.0000001% may or may not be an exaggeration).
