I have this series of "course study" lectures (just bought a few weeks back) from The Great Courses (www.aboutgreatcourses.com). I bought 5 courses. One of them is this gal (of course the courses are by leading PhDs or the equivalent) teaching the Old Testament. I should have known that there was a good chance she would be a "modern" theologian with such ideas as the books of Moses (commonly called) - the first 5 books of the Bible, were not at all written by Moses and in fact were written centuries after Moses ever walked this earth. Of course the course she teaches gives forth ideas like some of the Old Testament (OT) is myth, legend, story telling, borrowed ideas from pagan nations, and on and on. Well the course certainly is educational to keep up with the latest turn your back on the Bible, tear this out, forget that, disbelieve this, doubt this happened, or make up this story based on some wild practice by some wild nation from over the hill.
So for her, Moses sure never wrote the first 5 books of the Bible. Obviously she either never read the New Testament (NT), or if she did, she did not believe Jesus' words. If she ever lectured on the NT most of it for her would be story telling, fancy dreamed up myths, and apostles drinking too much wine or too much coke (and not the stuff that comes in a bottle at the grocery store).
It is obvious people like this gal do not believe Paul when he wrote the Scriptures are "inspired" or God breathed. It's no wonder that the Bible has been thrown out of our schools, courts, governments, and that the phrase "In God We Trust" has come to mean "In God We Do Not Trust" - for the Bible to these people is as about reliable as the Moon being made of Swiss cheese, planet Pluto being a planet (for now they say it is not).
Well God sits back and has a good belly laugh at such ignorant "educated" folk. One day they will see His work on this earth in no uncertain way, when end time prophecy comes crashing down around them. They will see that the Almighty is just that - Almighty and it's nothing for Him to INSPIRE His word of Scripture and make it as Jesus said, "The Scripture cannot be broken." He who made this whole universe, which to my amazement the evolutionists admit "started" up out of nothing with a BIG BANG! A universe that is EXPANDING and contrary to normal science, is moving faster away from the big bang at it continues to explode into expansion. Ah yes I have season One and season Two of The Universe from the History Channel - and you need to get them if you do not have them. When you see the created universe as we are seeing it more and more from the telescopes we now have in space, you will see the AWESOMENESS of the creator God. Then you will also see that for Him to inspire every word of the Bible, is as nothing.
Well back to the authorship of the first 5 books of the Bible. Did Jesus (a member of the Godhead, eternal one, who came to earth as a human man - visit my website: www.keithhunt.com - and learn all about God from my studies) teach that Moses wrote the first 5 books of the Bible (as most standard theologians in the past have taught) ?
Look up these verses and read the context: Mat.8:4; 19:8; Mark 1:44; 7:10; 10:3; 12:26; Luke 5:14; 16:29; 16:31;24:44; John 5:46; 6:32; 7:19; 7:22-23.
Could Moses have been inspired to tell us how creation started as given in Genesis 1 and 2? Do you not think it was very possible for God to make sure things were handed down from generation to generation of the stories that Moses wrote about in Genesis and Exodus till he was called of God to do the Lord's work. Was God sleeping when the things before Moses happened and so He was not able to have Moses know any of those things. Does the creator of this universe fall asleep, get absent-minded, forget things? Does His power and mind run down and He must take a "time-out" to charge up His batteries again? Hence does He miss things that went by? I say all this in sarcasm to the weak-minded and uneducated (they must have not read the whole Bible and seen what God says about Himself) people that are supposed to be teachers of the Bible.
God sits and laughs at them, they are blind leaders of the blind, and Jesus said all of them would fall into the ditch.
So the "educated" ask, "How could Moses write about his own death, before he died, so he could not have written the first 5 books of the Bible."
The answer is very simple: Moses was inspired to write it correctly as it would so happen, or, as the "books of Moses" were put in the side of the Ark of the Covenant, Joshua added the words about the death of Moses, and Joshua was also inspired!
You see it all comes down to believing what is already written in God's word by His inspiration: "Is there anything too hard for the Lord" (Genesis 18:14).
Oh the foolishness of the darkened mind of people who want to teach the word of God, and have no clue about what they are teaching, except it be the fumbling of the carnal (natural) mind without the Spirit of the Lord. They are uninspired so they teach an uninspired Bible, and a weak and powerless God. I also could laugh at them if they were not so serious about what they teach.
