Are there books older than the bible

The books of Ezra, Nehemiah, and Esther record the history of Israel following its period of captivity under Babylonian rule. The historical books span the history of Israel from - B. Which again I find interesting because though it acknowledges the unknown start of the writings that Moses was directed to compile Genesis from,, again it gives and end date which is post Moses death.

So it is presumptious indeed to insist that there are older holy writings that the bible, since, though we know Moses compiled Genesis and exodus during his time in the wilderness with the Israelites we do not know the age of the writings he was directed to Compile Genesis from, and there is also the fact that the God who actually authored the bible has been around since beyond the beginning of time. All in all however old the earliest holy writing is the Author of the bible was around to see it written, and even if the bible was not the first, which I believe it to be, the fact that it's author pre-dates everything in existence makes His word older too.

Hard to argue with that, and all those other stories that are similar to stories in the Bible, such as the Song of Gilgamesh, the Greek tale of Phyra and Deucalion a flood story exactly like the one in the bible , oh and the story of Prometheus, which is very close to the fall of Satan if you consider the apocrypha , all those stories stole their ideas from the Bible, because it was clearly written first, regardless of any evidence to the contrary.

The Israelites never allowed themselves to be influenced by the cultures they came in contact with, such as the Greeks, Egyptians, and Romans, even though those cultures clearly had an influence on each other, and so the Bible is also pure, and direct from Yahweh on his splendid Merkebah throne.

I find it interesting that you don't consider the apocrypha, seeing how the book of Enoch is included in it, and it explains fully Lucifer's rebellion and consequent fall. This of course, parallels the story of Prometheus, which is very likely why it was left out. Have you considered the possibility that those earlier texts used my Moses were in fact early Greek and Sumerian, and Egyptian lore? Would it make a difference to you if it was, in a way, plagiarism of another cultures beliefs?

People seem to be worry merchants. Little that we know we could live till CE We could all be dead, since the earth is 6, years old, thats what I think, going by the 7 day week priciple. In 10 years 1 Petabyte drives will be the go, 10 years after that 1 Exabyte Drives will be the go and so on until we reach Yottabyte Drives, then the drive manufacturers will no longer get any bigger. It take another 15 to 20 years for computer hard drives to reach into the Yottabyte stage for storage.

In principle, the bit microprocessors found in many computers can address 16 exbibytes, or just over 18 exabytes, of memory, now thata a lot of ram, and we will get to that point, technology cup has to fill up, first.

And such and Jetsons like life style to develop, living around the time of Futurama. An argument can be made that the Christian Bible dates only to the late fourth century. And countless books are older than that. Of course, the various texts which make up the Bible were written earlier. There's a wide range of estimates for the books of the New Testament but no text can be dated earlier than 50 CE and some may have been written CE or later.

So, if we consider the collection of texts that make up the bible, we could say the Bible dates to the early second century. Consider then, the earliest books of the Bible. Scholars generally consider the oldest books of the Old Testament were written between BCE and BCE with the more recent date becoming more accepted. But, whatever date in this range we pick, there are many books older than that. Suppose that the Pentateuch, the first five books of the Old Testament were actually written by Moses as tradition claims; a strange claim given that Moses' death is recorded in Deuteronomy It depends on who you ask.

Many Bible scholars do think the story is older than Moses literally. It's also possible that the core of the story is older than the framing parts of the tale at the beginning and end. Although tradition says that parts of the Bible were written before this date, scholars now know that the Old Testament was actually written later in the first millennium BCE.
