Yes. He is NOT Credible.

;-)

We have several Jewish people who regularly participate in these Forums.
I am not aware of a single one that seriously claims to believe that any 'Moses' wrote the Pentateuch.
That is why they ARE Credible Jews.
What utter absurdity. The Jews that lived in antiquity are NOT on these Forums.

Jews of antiquity BELIEVED the Hebrew Bible and that Moses wrote the Pentateuch.
And that is why any scholar of any merit can determine that the National 'history' that these Jews of antiquity reported is NOT Credible.

And is NOT Credible.

People that repeat fables as being facts, are NOT Credible no matter when they live.

Again, more absurdity. The Belief by Jews of antiquity that Moses wrote the Pentateuch does NOT affect their Credibility.

You don't know the difference between Credibility and Belief.

Good Morning, aa5874. Sorry, to write, that I too, am ignorant of the distinction between credibility and belief.

Here's a definition from the World English Dictionary, on line:


credibility (ˌkrɛdɪˈbɪlɪtɪ)

— n
the quality of being believed or trusted

Now, what about the meaning of BELIEF??

The meaning of BELIEF is missing from your post.

I told you already that you don't know the difference between Credibility and Belief and you Proved it.

Certainly you could look up that for youself. I'm not about to post the content of an entire English language Dictionary on this thread in a futile attempt to correct your misuse and abuse of the English language.

As usual you are avoiding and failing to deal with the issues;

In this instance, providing us with your peculiar definition of the words 'Credible' and 'Credibility'.

And what your Source for that Definition is.

With their Examples of proper usage.


share with us your source(s) for your unique usage of the word 'CREDIBLE' and 'CREDIBILITY' aa.

If you do not, will not, or cannot, we will not be out of line in concluding that -you- have a 'problem'.

To anyone following this thread, I do know and understand what it is that aa5874 is attempting to express.
But his lack of skills in English language and composition are muddling his message, and causing him to compose assertions that are not credible.

Come on, Sheshbazzar. What is the meaning of BELIEF?? You utterly failed to provide the meaning.

You don't know the difference between Credibility and Belief.

You are cluttering my thread. Please, just get a dictionary.
