About like chosen by god................ meaningless drivePossessing the M-124 gene is meaningless.
Even Mt Sinai was egypt, then and now!Some of it yes. The majority of it was taught to Moses at Sinai by YHVH. Here is an excellent essay descibing what was given at Sinai.
The moses boy was raised in the house of pharaoh, since a child. The god he was speaking to was a pharoah.
The libraries that he would have learned from were egyptian.
Even the stories claim joshua, finished torah to account for why moses death was in exodus.The Torah is not increased.
It exists as it has always existed. All the divine teachings and laws that have been brought out of it have always existed there. When I say always, I meant it literally. The divine source is eternal, the torah is also eternal.
It seems to be a hoax. Sure there's a mystery, and mysteries are compelling, but I ask again, WHY DO YOU BELIEVE IT?
Everyone knows that answer; It's your religion, not what is real.
Sure He would have been exposed to the knowledge by living in the house of pharaoh, if you believe Torah was even possibly written-received by Moses. Best evidence is the commandments existed in Egypt well over 1000 yrs before moses was even born, just as circumcision was practiced in egypt before moses was even born.The Torah is a more than a text. It is a written text which contains infinite layers of divine teachings and law combined with a set of divine teachings and laws which were expressed to Moses.
These non-written expressions also have infinite layers.
Aramaic? Again, pointing to another set of teaching/language to learn about torah. Then expect that is the best answer knowing that it causes many to give up or purely to dissuade participation. That is how you believe yourself or your teachers to be superior.If a person wants to learn it they study the Talmud in its original language.
The Torah was not increased. It's mysteries were probed, brought out, and revealed.
It seems to be a hoax. Sure there's a mystery, and mysteries are compelling, but I ask again, WHY DO YOU BELIEVE IT?
