Do you have proof that Moses ever existed?

Moses is thus one of the most influential men in human history. Even so, for well over a century, Moses has come under fire from both scholars and clerics. Many challenge the belief not only that Moses performed miracles and led the Israelites out of Egypt but also that he even existed. \n\nAt first glance, such skepticism might seem to have merit. For example, critics observe that archaeological proof has been found to confirm the existence of such Bible personages as Israelite King Jehu, but no archaeological evidence has been found to confirm the existence of Moses. This is hardly proof that Moses is a myth, however. Skeptics once argued that others mentioned in the Bible, such as Babylonian King Belshazzar and Assyrian King Sargon, were likewise myths—until archaeology later confirmed their historicity.\n\nAuthor Jonathan Kirsch reminds us: “The remnants and relics of biblical Israel are so sparse that the utter absence of Moses in any source except the Bible itself is neither surprising nor decisive.” According to Kirsch, some thus argue that it is unlikely that Moses could be a mere figment of someone’s imagination, since “a life story so rich in detail and dialogue, so complex . . . , could not have been made up.”\n\nAs for the lack of archaeological evidence for the wilderness sojourn, we must remember that the Jews were nomads. They built no cities; they planted no crops. Presumably, they left behind little more than footprints. Still, convincing evidence of that sojourn can be found within the Bible itself. Reference is made to it throughout that sacred book. (1 Samuel 4:8; Psalm 78; Psalm 95; Psalm 106; 1 Corinthians 10:1-5) Significantly, Jesus Christ also testified that the wilderness events took place.—John 3:14.\n\nUnquestionably, then, the Bible’s account of Moses is credible, truthful. Even so, he lived a long time ago

Just some white lies maybe. Moses and his lads would'nt have been able to comprehend the scientific terms and proofs of evolution.

A good question. There is as much *** proof *** of his existence as there is for all the other deities and pseudo deities.\n\nNote the word *** proof *** here meaning "not what some mortal scribbled down in parchment a few hundred years AFTER the alleged fact, THEN had it translated - several times - interpreted and re-written."

Please restate the question with clarification. Are you talking about the ten commandments Moses brought down from the mountain?

He exists if you need him to exist. \n\nThere is no more proof that God exists then proof that he doesn't. \n\nDiscussing whether or not there is a God is only an argument of contrasting opinions where no one can win.

I think it is awesome. To think that he was raised in the palace, and left it to find his heritage. It is full of so much. I wonder, did he start out full of pride, all the paganism that he grew up with, the humbling that he went through, the stripping away of all that he had learned as a child destroyed, and he was made anew, and was one of the most humble of all men that lived.\n  Think about it! He talked with God, He saw Gods glory pass in front of him...That should give anyone hope, with all that Moses did before, even murder, and He had A glorious walk with God.

Nobody can really know how to tell if God exists. It's all a matter of faith. That's what most religions are based on: faith in (a) supreme being(s). The Bible isn't much PROOF, but it does help to strengthen the bonds between God and His people. \n\nAnd no, the Bible is not straight from God. He may have spoken to his people, but he spoke through prophets (special messengers). Many (real) historical figures and prophets have written down their experiences with God in the Bible. Remember, the Bible was written hundreds (perhaps thousands) of years after these evens were said to have occured. Many of the stories in the Bible began as that--stories told from person to person through the oral tradition. \n\nAs far as proof goes, many of the historical facts (such as the dates of battles and kings of nearby kingdoms) have been found true. Names of Assyrian kings have been preserved. Do you remember reading about King Xerxes or the great Phoenician State of Tyre? These things have been proven to have existed at some point, only reinforcing the fact that there IS truth in the Bible. Whether or not you want to believe everything in it literally is up to you.

I believe that by the 'Book of Moses' you mean the Torah? This would actually be what makes up the first 5 books of the Bible. The Bible is not strictly the New Testament, or Greek scriptures. The Bible is by definition the Hebrew (Old Testament) and Greek scriptures combined. As for which is truly the Word of God; this is a question far to important to leave to unverified postings of total strangers on the Internet. It needs to be investigated with thoughtful unprejudiced research.\nSome things to consider would be:\n\n1. How old is it? - If God were to decide to give us a book to know him by would he not have started early on?\n\n1.a  Dispite its age, can its accuracy to the original writings be verified?\n\n2. Is it historically accurate?  If God's word is truth, would that not include historical details of the times within which it were written?\n\n2.a  Is it scientifically accurate when tuching on scientific things?\n\n3. Was/Were it's writer/s honest in their representation of themselves and those they cared about? Did they admit their own shortcomings however bad? If they could be candid about their own failings this would indicate it was not themselves that was most important to them.\n\n4. Does its principals transcend time and culture? Any book by the creator of all mankind would be applicable to all mankind.\n\n5. How easily available is it? Again, would not the creator of all mankind want his book to be easily accessible and understandable to the widest variety of people?\n\n6. Does it give SATISFYING answers for the deeper questions such as: Why does god permit wickedness? What happens at death? What is the purpose of life? What hope is there for the future?\n\n7. In discussing the future, would we not expect a pattern of accurate fulfillment of earlier prophecies to help instill trust in the ones yet to be fulfilled? Therefore, is it a book of reliable prophecy?\n\n8. Does it give a clear and definite picture of who God is, what kind of person is he, and what does he expect from us?\n\nThese questions, and more, cannot be answered satisfactually on a forum like this. \n\nThere is a book called 'Is the Bible Really the Word of God' published by the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York that will help you decide for yourself if the Bible actually meets all these criteria. Their Web site is  http://www.watchtower.org/  or you can look in the phonebook for the nearest Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses

The only possible way to prove it was used on any particular person would be to have the DNA of that person and match it to DNA on the cloth. If that happened, it would prove it was not used on Jesus, or that Jesus was not resurrected and zoomed off to heaven.\n\nAs it stands, there is no objectively verifiable evidence proving Jesus (as depicted in the bible) even existed, much less was buried in a piece of cloth.\n\nThe Turin shroud is totally irrelevant except as a way for the Catholic church to get free publicity.

If you did not, now you do. I will bet that you will get a lot of religious people asking for proof, well, if they can't prove these exists then they do not. (And no they can't prove it)

Okay, here we go. Long before there was ever such a thing as Christendom, Jew, whose creation story Genesis recounts, understood fully the account was a summary of how the world began. Since they got this information at Sinai 3,300 years ago, it was obvious it was not a play by play rendition of events, rather the overview of what came first, second and so on. If taken even somewhat literally, it is obvious Moses did not travel back in time to personally experience creation, the story goes he was taking dictation directly from God.\n\nSince the Genesis account pretty much approximates the evolutionary concept of something from nothing, more from less, the least complexity to the most, the conflict found in Christian responses to evolution never happened with Judaism. Then again, Jews never burned people for refusing to believe the earth was flat, either.\n\nSo what you identify is the pick and choose theology of modern Protestantism more and anything Catholic. As for the Roman Church being right or wrong, I can't say, I don't believe in Satan so I would answer no to your next question, and I don't think you're dead wrong.

Here is your proof :\nhttp://www.miraclesofthequran.com/\n\nBut you will throw it without even opening the site !

JEWS ARE ISRAELITES THEIR FOREFATHERS KNEW JESUS CHRIST EXISTED AND WAS WITH HIM. CHRIST WAS ABLE TO RAISED NUMEROUS PEOPLE FROM THE DEAD LIKE LAZARUS. IF YOU CAN PROVE CHRIST DID NOT EXIST YOU CAN PROVE THERES NO LIFE AFTER DEATH.

One existed.  What's your question about it?

Moses and Elijah. Both of whom were never seen in a state of being dead by any human.

You guys are beginning to make answering questions all about getting 10 points, but i think it should go beyond that because its a time of learning.\nIf you were referring to Moses in the bible, i don't think you got the spelling of the HIERAN or HERAN well. I don't even think that word exist in the bible.

Youre right, you cant prove it. But thats fine for most people, cause if you keep telling yourself thats something exist, its gonna exist. So you dont need a proof. If you keep telling yourself that theres God, God will exist. If you dont, then he wont. It simple. And about the Bible, I could write a book right now about a new God, bury it in the earth and then about 1000 years later someone's gonna find it, and there will be a new religion, and everybody will believe in my God. You know what im saying? So you cant prove anything, its just whether believe in it or not. If you do you'll see it.
