Did Anyone Know Moses Wrote Scripture?

Well, now that Drive By seems to be ending our conversation, did anyone catch the main problem? He asked in his last response, “"Do you infallibly know what is and what is not even so much as a single line of Scripture?"” What is interesting is that anyone who may read more than just a driving by attitude would see I challenged the idea of infallibility. Simply placing infallibility into the hands of Rome only sets the question back one. It never solves the problem. For who has infallible knowledge except God? To trust in Rome’s ultimate authority is to follow Utah’s line of “feel good in the belly” logic.

Since he wanted me to demonstrate how would I know Scripture was Scripture in AD 38 by using his misunderstanding of Scripture Alone, I’d like to offer another scenario. How would an Egyptian or a Hebrew watching Moses first approach Pharo know Moses was a true Prophet? Drive By raised the question of false prophets and false scriptures. His belief is that without Rome, one could not know which Scripture is true?

When Moses took his staff and turned it into a serpent, did not the Magicians do likewise? How would an Egyptian know which god to believe in? Well, you might say, “Moses’ serpent ate the others.” However, many today would simply ignore such serpent eating tricks. Here is an example of competing authorities claiming to be God. In time and through the demonstration of signs and wonders and the consistency of sound doctrine, we see Moses as being the true Prophet of the One True and Living God.

In time, Moses wrote the Pentateuch. God clearly testified to that work. He brought the chosen people of God to recognize that work as Scripture. The Scriptures were committed to the Hebrew people. There were no infallible indexes within Moses’ books. Yet all claim to be God breathed.

I say all of this because according to Drive By, we simply are not able to know without an infallible source. Why that source cannot be God through His Prophets and Christ and Apostles I have yet to understand. Basically what has happened is that many are seeking the “Infallible Fuzzies”.

Are there competing claims and competing scriptures? You bet there are. That does not mean we need competing infallible authorities to tell us infallibly which scriptures to believe. One comes from the One True God. The others are false. They will all be demonstrated as to their true nature in time. The Christian Scriptures have withstood the test for they are form God. The New Testament is consistent with Moses’ writings. They fulfill prophecy. They are historically accurate. They have the testimony of the Apostles and the reception of the early church. The Resurrection of Jesus Christ and His Spirit ultimately confirmed them. In a phrase, they are Self Authenticating and demonstrably true.

For an excellent book that goes into depth on the Canonical issues and the infallibility problem the Roman Catholic suffers, read James White’s book, Scripture Alone.
