Until now, many scholars have held that the Hebrew Bible originated in the 6th century B.C., because Hebrew writing was thought to stretch back no further.

I have always believed that the Hebrew Bible originated around 1400 BC. Call me when there is evidence to the contrary.

Many think that the Bible is just one book ....

WONDERFUL NEWS.

Until now, many scholars have held that the Hebrew Bible originated in the 6th century B.C., because Hebrew writing was thought to stretch back no further. But the newly deciphered Hebrew text is about four centuries older, scientists announced this month.

Maybe scholars will eventually notice that tradition that the first five books were written down by Moses.

Wow! Praises to God.

And just what scholars could those be??? Moses began writing the first five books of it in Hebrew as early as the 15th century BC.

BCE stands for "before common era," and is equivalent to B.C., or before Christ.

BCE is a joke...they can call it what they want but Jesus' life still marks the crossroads of time, rather they want to admit it or not.

One of the points being overlooked is the conclusion that the Kingdom of Israel existed around 1,000 BC. That fact has been debated for years.

[DallasMike]

How did this post turn into an argument about dates and who is the better Christian or Jew? Scientists generally use BCE and CE when publishing papers. Like it or not, it’s the standard.

The focus needs to be on the implications of these findings, not how scientists define years.
