If God didn't tell Moses what to write how did he write the first five books? He told the prophets what to write. They couldn't have written the books of the Bible without God telling them. Did you know that the Bible is known as the Word of God and that Jesus is the Word of God? It says so in there. You have to believe the whole Bible. And there has been scrolls and such found proving the Bible is true.

So J.K. Rowling is divinely inspired because, hey, how else would she have known to write about a young wizard learning magic?
[zomggodwin]Adolf Hitler was divinely inspired to write Mein Kampf? (hey, HE believed it)[/zomggodwin]
Max Brooks was divinely inspired when writing The Zombie Survival Guide?
Was The God Delusion divinely inspired?
I don't ever remember being very divinely inspired. Is that why I do so poorly in English class, and suck at writing essays?
Jesus wasn't anyone's Word, dumbass, he was a mythicized historical figure...
The subset of the "scrolls and such" that I am familiar with, proves your Word of God(TM) to be bullshit.
Ah yes, this great old line of logic: God rote teh Bible so we no its TRUE!!!!111!!! We kno GOD wroet the Bible cuz it sez so. And its tru so God must have wrote it.
That reasoning... it kinda goes round and round. A bit like a circle. Maybe we should call it, I dunno, "circle logic" or "circlish logic" or something like that...
"And there has been scrolls and such found proving the Bible is true"
Really and where is the proof that Moses was an actual historical figure? What that? There is none? What a surprise. You'd think there would be some sign of this guy and his people wandering the desert for 40 years or at the very least Egyptian records to collaberate that the cattle in Egypt died (for example). And yet there is none. It's a nice story, but it has no more basis in reality than the Epic of Gilgamesh. Stop believing everything you hear second hand and do your own research. Believe it or not but priests and other fundies are not reliable sources for historical information.
Moses did not write the bible, dumbass. If I remember religion class correctly, some Jewish guys wrote it during the Babylonian Captivity.
Then again, I was taught by dreaded Catholics so my word goes for nothing, right?
Bible = the word of God
thus Bible = Jesus?
i dunno ... someone check my math
Thundersqueaks - Yes, I remember that! Lol, senior year of religion class - all the fundies left the classroom when my teacher started pulling out the myth comparisons.
One girl got ridiculously mad when the teacher explained Moses' Red Sea was not necessarily THE RED SEA of today.
Is that why the Israelite's trip across the Sinai that should have been 2 week tour turned into "Gilligan's Exodus" and took 40 years? Because Moses was writing a freaking book? Damn he must have been a slow writer!PS The "Dead Sea Scrolls" and Nag Hammadi tablets have a whole lot more of the ancient "holy" books that were left out of the Bible by early church leaders than books that were let in. They have actually been more of a negative proof for the Bible's divine origin in the sense that it makes the early picking process for the Bible seem awfully arbitrary, petty, and subjective instead of "divinely inspired"!
If God didn't tell Moses what to write how did he write the first five books?
If God didn't tell J.K. Rowling what to write, how did she write the Harry Potter stories?
It says so in there.
Yeah? Where?
To the peoples who ask about Deut.:
Liek, zomg, G0D sooooooo gave him a vison of that, and, liek, he jus HAD to rite it down so the non-beleiving heratics can see how totaly awsome HE is!!!11!!1!! </fundiespeak>
*shudder* Off to read a tad bit of Shakespear before bed now... that hurt my head to type.... x.x

Scrolls AND such? Well, if it weren't for the 'such' part, I might have been skeptical. If the bibble is founded on 'such', then I'm convinced.
This post is true, and inspired by the Divine Spirit.
God thinks you should stop making crap up, do a little reading and thinking for yourself, and flush your head in the toilet while you're at it.
It's obviously true, or I wouldn't have written it. Right?
The Moses thing is a persistent fallacy.
Linguistic analysis of the original works indicates that the first five books were actually written around the time of David or Solomon.
First chronological book of the Bible? Probably Job and his morality play.
Solomon didn't pull them out of his ass, though - the first five books are basically an attempt to formalize the oral tradition that had been going up until then.

"If God didn't tell Moses what to write how did he write the first five books?
What? SPOILER WARNING:Moses dies in the fifth book and no corpse is capable of writing it's own demise.
He told the prophets what to write.
Or they could've just a good imagination and a few power issues, or they were on one hell of drug trip.
"Did you know that the Bible is known as the Word of God and that Jesus is the Word of God? It says so in there."
And if on the front page I pen in that God is the Devil does that make it true?
You have to believe the whole Bible. And there has been scrolls and such found proving the Bible is true.
There's also scrolls found 'proving' Simon Magus, BaaL, Griffins, phoenixes and a whole plethora of other mythical creatures, does that mean they exist?
Your argument is totally circular. If the Bible says it's right because it says it's right...............absurd. Those scrolls doesn't prove that the Bible is right. They prove that there was, indeed, a tradition and a rich mythology on that respect. And concerning Moses and the Prophets................It's like saying that Shakespeare or Hesiodus can't write a book, what's the point?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
