You don't know what your even talking about sir. I sourced my statement in full.

No you factually did not. I made none.
Tut your error is there for all to see !
Sure you did and then you referred to the Dever link instead of the first one !

The overwhelming modern scholarly consensus is, according to William Dever, that Moses is a figure of myth, not of history.[25]

Yes you clicked on the link to William Devers wiki page. That's not where the source lies
I gave the link here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moses and its obvious you did not read it, or go to the citation.
Again, you did not even know what you were doing here.
it is obvious that you link to William Dever does not confirm what you say !

That's nice.
Ducking and diving again Isee. It would appear that you don't actually phrase your replies correctly !
So why give him as a link to substantiate your claim?

Moses did not exist, so are you saying god is a literary creation as well ?
Self Evident yes it is
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moses

Some people should go to a real school and get a real education on a topic they find valuable, instead of winging it
The link is CLEAR AS DAY right there in my post
You just clicked on the wrong one
Try the one I POSTED

Nope I clicked the right one to indicate your error and to show that he expressed something else in the second link you provided.

It is imbedded in the quote, I did not put it there. you ever read any wiki pages before?
WHY would I post a HUGE link, if I wanted anyone to use the imbedded one?
Could you not understand the William Dever imbedded link only took you to his page which had little to nothing to do with moses??? and did not even have the statement I posted
If you had ever read a wiki page before, you would know they have many imbedded links
That is old news. The fact remains that the embedded link says something else; Which should have been a clear indication that I read it all.It is imbedded in the quote, I did not put it there. you ever read any wiki pages before?

The so called embedded link says, "according to William Dever", yet according to William Dever as per the quoted ink he said something else. So I will forgive you and blame the article for the error and misdirection

Yawn.
This just shows you cannot comprehend either quote made by Mr Dever in any context
No where does he say moses existed
ROFL. Nope it is you who has no inkling of what was actually said

I just read both.
What is your claim about what Dever thinks of Moses? You certainly recognize that the enlarged quotations and Dever's overall perspective does not posit Moses as the character described in the bible. And simply based on both articles, it would seem Dever does not consider most biblical narratives about its heroes as true.

Your arguing just to argue.
Its obvious desperation because your getting shut down hard for every pseudohistorical thing you attempt to posit in this whole forum.
You claimed I posted something in error, and you were factually wrong. Just as you have been with almost everything you write here.
And regardless of what you say Mr Dever did say this.
The overwhelming modern scholarly consensus is, according to William Dever, that Moses is a figure of myth, not of history.[25]

I did not say what you are now putting in my mouth. I quoted from the article.
Dever said they are probably historical memories.
