What If . . . .?
What If . . . . has started so many statements, I doubt that there is a means to estimate the usage of that phrase. What if G-D is not real? What if people wrote the Books of Moses in order to give power to ...? What if the Torah and Tanach are just lies?
My response is, What if . . . .it is TRUE, all of it? What if G-D IS and the Books of Moses were dictated to Moses?
So how can we know the Truth? --I know that Man Kind cannot write a book or series of books without flaws in them. Even after writing, re-writing, and again re-writing, then editing, checking and editing then, . . . . Using computers we create huge documents, but not with out errors. In the Torah (Five Books of Moses), written more than two thousand five hundred years ago with skin, ink and quill. Copied with such a demand for correctness that even one dot on the page out of place, the page is removed and re-written for accuracy of the texts. This document has been read, studied, re-studied again and again by hundreds of thousands of scholars.
Where is the mistake that can be used to declare the TORAH is a lie? Okay, that is harsh, but if dictated by G-D, over seen by HIM, it is then to HIS Glory or failure. I have not been able to find the flaw myself, and I have looked for them most of my life. Do you know where the flaw is? Can you prove it to me? Will you prove it to me? Other wise...moving on.
This leads me to this: What if you cannot prove the Torah is a lie, would it then be to your benefit to assume there is truth there? If it is true, then G-D is true. Maybe we should find out what HE wants and what we need to do and DO IT?
