How many times did god create the world? How many times did he give his laws to his people? How many times did he flood the world?


Now, these are not trivial questions, as those of you who REALLY READ your bibles may have observed. They strike right at the heart of the reliability and authenticity of these accounts.

Suffice to say for now that these narrative are each given multiple times in the bible, with each account NOT harmonising with its counterpart. The explanation for why this is so has come to be known as THE DOCUMENTARY HYPOTHESIS.

(I shall update this post in due course to add some more information, but should I expect the christians to be interested? )

Anybody on this forum heard of THE DOCUMENTARY HYPOTHESIS? Very interesting indeed. Please, guys I think you should read up on it.

Any updates on THE DOCUMENTARY HYPOTHESIS? Or is this too much to ask?

You want us to read a "hypothesis" to justify the reliability of the bible?

shld i use a dictionary to tell u what the term "hypothesis" means?

therationa those who are telling you to read bible are wasting your time. You dont need books like all you need are ogboju ode ninu igboirunmole., Akara ogun. Baba onirugbon yewoke. They contain a lot of messages for people like you. I hope you will enjoy it. Check them out@ amazon.com or better still read he came to set the captives free by rebecca brown.
