No. god decided to contradict himself by taking away free will for a bit, so he could get the humans to write his book for him.\nAnd of course, that's ignoring all the inconsistancies in the new testament, like made up prophesies and the evidence to support that the old testament was actually copied from ancient Sumerian stone tablets...\n\n:)\n\nTY, shawny  :D

Cyanne, think!!  The Dead Sea scrolls show that almost the entire Old Testament had not changed a single word in well over two thousand years.  Of the thousands of New Testament manuscripts in existence, there are very minor discrepancies (eg. the second half of Mark 16 - was it added later?) but the underlying content can be demonstrated as being unchanged.  Those who claim the Bible has been 'changed' repeatedly simply do so as a crutch to avoid considering the claims made BY the Bible.\n\nAs for apostles and miracle workers, the Bible states that God is the same yesterday, today and forever.  GOD is the same; however, the way He works changes.\n\nThe passages in Paul's letters referring to spiritual gifts make no distinction between 'miraculous' gifts and 'natural' ones such as administration.  No-one claims that administration should have disappeared from the church, so why miracles or prophecy?\n\nThe scriptural arguments on both sides are complex, but the bottom line for me is that the Bible gives no indication that these gifts should disappear.  If they were supposed to be gone from the church, the Bible would tell us!

The saddest event in Moses' life might well be God's prohibiting him from entering the land of Israel. The reason for this ban is explicitly connected to an episode in Numbers in which the Hebrews angrily demand that Moses supply them with water. God commands Moses to assemble the community, "and before their very eyes order the [nearby] rock to yield its water." Fed up with the Hebrews' constant whining and complaining, he says to them instead: "Listen, you rebels, shall we get water for you out of this rock?" He then strikes the rock twice with his rod, and water gushes out (Numbers 20:2-13). It is this episode of disobedience, striking the rock instead of speaking to it, that is generally offered as the explanation for why God punishes Moses and forbids him to enter Israel.

acity_I,\n\nThe Jebusites do not exist as a people any more. They were partially conquered during the days of Joshua who led the children of Israel into the “promised land.” Many years later, King David conquered the remainder who lived in Zion which was renamed the City of David. David treated at least some of the Jebusites kindly and actually bought the site where the temple was built from a Jebusite named Araunah. David’s son, King Solomon, used the Jebusites who weren’t assimilated into the Jewish nation as slave labor to construct buildings in Jerusalem – including the temple. In the time of Ezra’s return from Babylon – around 450 BC – the Jews living in Jerusalem had intermarried with several groups including the Jebusites. This is the last historical mention of the Jebusites.\n\nI hope this helps.\n\nGod bless.

Some say that they just did not write in 1st person back then.  Whether or not that is true, I do not know.\n\nBut if Moses wrote anything, it is very difficult to tell.  Because so much has been added on over the years by so many different sources.  Notice that if Moses wrote it, it is interesting because it records his death.  And remember that Moses never crossed the Jordan into Israel.  And yet, the wording goes like this, "When Israel was on the other side of the Jordan and had not yet crossed over into the Promised Land..."  That is a very strange thing to say for someone who is currently "on the other side of the Jordan."  It also makes time references, such as, "And it remains that way to this day."  But the things it was saying remained that way to this day supposedly happened in Moses' time.\n\nThat doesn't make sense.  It would be like me writing, "I gave you this answer on Yahoo Answers on May 13th 2006, and the answer remains there until this day."  Well, I would not write that on May 13th!  It only makes sense if I had written it AFTER May 13th.  Plus, there is a king list in Genesis that records kings that lived and died WAY after Moses.\n\nThere is evidence of multiple authorship of the Torah.  The idea that Moses wrote the whole thing just does not hold up under scrutiny.\n\nFURTHERMORE....an honest reading of the Torah does NOT lead one to believe that the Torah itself is even claiming that Moses wrote it!  It does not even TRY to make it look like Moses wrote it!  The idea of Mosaic authorship came later, based on only a few references in the Torah of things which Moses was instructed to write down.  But it in no way indicates that he wrote the whole Torah.  Perhaps he wrote a law or 2.  That's all it seems to indicate.

That is an excellent question.  I heard Nike was paying off the church to insert the line "And jesus walkith over in his Nikes".  Last I heard the church was going for it and it will be in the New King James Version.  Jesus' sandals must have been good, but Moses' sandals must have been REALLY good.  They lasted him 40 years of walking around in the desert.\n\nOn a side note, did you know Nike is named after a lessor known Greek god.  He was the God of athletics.

Moses didn't write the Ten Commandment.....God did. He gave them to Moses on Mt. Sinai.....

This is one of the more interesting, bizarre questions I have ever read here.\n\nFrankly, I don't know. Is there something in any scripture that mentions this?\n\nChances are that it's an abomination to Wiccans, but what about other faiths?\n\nWhat if the stone will be used to build a church?\n\nIt's probably lack of sleep, but I'm honestly intrigued.

Nobody knows where exactly Moses is buried. Till this day, scholars are trying to figure out where he was buried in order to make his grave a holy site like they do to other biblical figures. It is said that Moses was buried by God. Moses was actually the last prophet to be able to speak with God when he needed to converse with Him. After Moses, all other prophets were only able to talk to God when he addressed them. He died right before entering Canaan because he hit the stick against the rock in order to get water even though God only asked him to talk to the rock. His punishment was death, and Joshua led the Israelities into Canaan. Even though Moses had sinned, he was very precious to the Lord and henceforth he decided to bury him himself because the job wasn't fit for any human hands.

Please restate the question with clarification. Are you talking about the ten commandments Moses brought down from the mountain?

If we'd invented God recently he would probably be a bit more tech savvy. Since people are hanging onto the God invented a few thousand years ago he's a little behind the times. Writing on stone tablets was probably cutting edge stuff back then. Funny question!

No, he was written out because the Egyptians never recorded their defeats. Just their victories and accomplishments. This was absolutely necessary for their afterlife immortality. Even on the Merneptah Stela it was written,  "Israel is laid waste, its seed is not." Well, we all know that this was not true. But it was their point to make the Pharaoh look good in the afterlife.

My theory is that the Ark of the Covenant are hidden there. If you have ever watched National Geographics dialog on the ten commandments and the box that was made for it; you would see that there has to be something else in the Bermuda Triangle.\n\n"And the tables were the work of God." "And he gave unto Moses ... two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God." "And the tables were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, graven upon the tables." Exodus 31:18; 32:16.\n\nWe know it had a home in Bethel (Judg 20:18, 27), Shiloh (1 Sam 1:3, 25; 3:3, 4:3), Kiriath-jearim (1 Sam 7:1-2), and Jerusalem (2 Sam 6:12-17). The Bible also says that the ark was carried from (and returned to) Jerusalem, when David was fleeing from his son to Transjordan (2 Sam 15:24-25, 29).\n\nWhen God's temple in heaven is opened, what a triumphant time that will be for all who have been faithful and true! In the temple will be seen the ark of the testament. . . .These tables of stone will be brought forth from their hiding place, and on them will be seen the Ten Commandments engraved by the finger of God. These tables of stone now lying in the ark of the testament will be a convincing testimony to the truth and binding claims of God's law. 7 BC 972 (emphasis supplied)\n\nJust my theory!

A) There are 3 great pyramids at Giza. I'm supposing you mean the largest, the one for Khufu or Cheops as the Greeks called him.\n\nB) Its purpose was twofold. One, to hold in security for eternity the fleshly remains of the Pharaoh and two, to allow his spirit, or ka, to ascend to the heavens with ease and to find its way back home with equal ease.\n\nC) There are those who maintain that simply because the pyramid was unadorned, unfilled with either treasure OR mummy, that it must have had some other purpose, perhaps mystical or paranormal. Sorry. A far more likely explanation was that it was left unfinished when news came that an earlier pyramid had been successfully broken into and robbed. Khufu didn't think quite so highly of HIS final resting place after that and probably made arangements for his body and his goodies to be interred someplace a lot more secret than a 450 ft. tall 3 acre monument one can see from the moon!

When Moses led the Children of Israel out of Egypt to the promised land. They were commanded to kill all the homosexual idol worshiping inhabitants before them.  They were instructed to not show mercy or spare anyone. Or in the latter days they would come back to hurt them.\n\nSo Israel went to Canna did not kill the homosexual worshipers of Baal and as you can see it has turned to their hurt.\n\n\nGo big Re Go
