dumb.

>moses wrote pentateuch??

Yes, and he had scribes assist him, like how Jesus had apostles assist him. God's Church predates and oversees all scripture.

They’re entirely speculative. There are no manuscripts of J, E, P, D, Q, the logoi, the signs gospel, or anything else. Scholars are for some reason unable to believe that people in the ancient world had any knowledge or talent. David Foster Wallace was able to write a thousand page book in a multitude of different styles and voices, but it’s impossible Moses or John did the same thing. Every book in the ancient world must be cobbled together by tinier sources that were completely uniform. Any textual trend or pattern ina larger work must have been a part of a smaller independent work.

It’s interesting to look at just in order to see trends or parallels, but it’s all too speculative to draw a definite conclusion on

My thoughts exactly. It also reminds me of their denial of the fulfilment of Christ’s prophecy regarding the destruction of the Second Temple.

>It actually happened so it must have been written after!

Even if the Pentateuch had no historicity to it, God came back from the dead and said it was right. The historical evidence of the resurrection alone would domino effect all into scientific proof.

Of course, the above is heresy. But a similar concept is apllied to saints. Private revelations are not taken as canon by the church but if a monk's face glows like the sun during Liturgy we can trust what he said.

both are speculations that one cannot derive from the available data.

modern scholars may doubt scripture, but I for one doubt the existence of modern scholars
