DID MOSES LIE AND HOW DO YOU PROVE THIS?

    One only needs to assess the 5 books of the Pentateuch which is ascribed to Moses and which theological commentators are quite convinced were never written by Moses. Indeed, these books were only recorded to written word many years after Moses and Joshua died. They are mostly part of a long oral history and things ascribed to Moses are allegorical, legend and fable. His stay in Ancient Egypt is enigmatic to say the least. There is no record of his Exodus, the plagues God visited on Pharaoh, the crossing of the Red Sea and destruction of Pharaoh’s army except what the Old Testament tells us, this in the face of meticulous and long lasting records on stone by the Egyptians. If Moses indeed existed and told the stories of creation; of Noah’s Ark and of the Exodus, it can be safely concluded he, as a master mystic manufactured tales. But it could be said that stating that he was a liar is a bit harsh…George W Bush was also a liar, but we like to phrase it differently.
