THE AUTHOR OF THE TORAH-------> 14:- (THE CRITICS HISTORYbefore the birth of Christ)

       Our great professor of Trinity,Dr,Jonson C Philip, have taught us that the critics ,changed their tactics,and their aimed subjects, generation after another, but the Holy Bible itself, had possessed its great valuable reliability ,along thousands of years,our professor have written books,articles,shared in many conferences, taught directly his pupils and people to defend, using his great source of knowledge, in many sites like the site which you will find under my profile at your right hand .                                                                                                                   Therefore we shall categorize the critics tendencies in our last three essays before examining their thoughts by the same scientific methods which they have used..                                                                                                                                                                     Before Christ, the old nations were fond of remembering their heroes ,they have put them in their folkloric works as songs or stories,etc.The loyalty to their heroes ,urged them to imagine sometimes ,a mythological great deeds ,to attach them to their real history ,at the local limited usage .                                                                                                                                                                                                                         This old behavior was able ,to create the satisfaction,the sense of peace which gave them courage,and created a high example for the new generations .                                                                                                                                                                                        The people of the old testament have a real heroes, "Moses" the hero of the exodus ,and the writer of the "TORAH", they have established some kind of folkloric writings about him, out side the "TORAH".                                                                   "King Solomon" ,who was the hero of the great kingdom of "David" ,and the founder of the great Temple ,they have established also some of folkloric writing about him, outside the book of "NEVEAEEM" W"KOTOBEEM"or the book of the prophets and the writings.                                                                                                                                                 But where is the hero during the exile period?, they can not comment much about "Daniel"or "Esther",although they have some comments,but they were just captives defeated by the foreign authorities ,and became under their rules,.Even "Ezra","Nehemiah" the heroes of the returned journey,they have not the description of the imagined heroes ,who have abilities to conquer their enemies,But why not ,they haven't other heroes belonged to that period ,after some time,or,many tens of years they can describe one of them, to be a hero in a folkloric work outside the Holy Bible, to attach some great deeds to him,like the mythological story of burning the "TORAH" by the oppressor, the king of babel ,and the miraculous deed of Ezra to write it, using his memory .                                                                                                                   It was not a believable story, not in the past, nor in present, because all the folkloric deeds of the "Jewish", were out of their Holy Books, because they were"chiefly , because that unto them were committed the oracles of God. Romans 3.2"They were the faithful keeper of the law,. therefore the Critics before the Christ, have not any tool ,to criticize the Author of the "TORAH",without establishing their themes, upon the folkloric stories, which was without power ,without real reliability, before Christ ,and even during the life of Christ ,we have many proves ,that this story could  not effect ,the pure belief.,or the general knowledge between the simple people and in the minds of the educated persons,But although we have analysed that story before, and prove that it was false,and although we will deal with it later, we can say that the critics before Christ ,were distinguished by their depending upon the folkloric deeds..                         we shall meet later. Rev. Joseph

  1. I have been watching every entry that you make. It is wonderful to notice the way you are using your education and traing to reach others with the mesage in your own words.

    Keep doing it.
