Were any books of Moses omitted from the Bible?

As far as we know, Moses never even wrote any books. Certainly, it is true that the first five books of the Bible are traditionally attributed to him, but that attribution is no more than tradition. There is nothing in the five books themselves to suggest, directly or indirectly, that Moses had any part in writing them. There is a wealth of evidence in the same books, that Moses did not and could not have written them. Moses never wrote any books that we know of, so none has been omitted from the Bible.

Why were books taken from the bible?

The Bible is a compilation of books. Each religion determines what books they want included in theirs. I know of at least 50 or more books that belong in the Bible but are not included because they make mention of Jesus' brothers and the fact that he was married.


Wrote the first five books?

There are 2 common answers to this question. The traditional answer is that Moses wrote most of the first 5 books of the Bible. Others believe that these books were complied from 4 different sources, called J (for Jehovah or YHWH); E (for Elohim); P (for Priest); and D (for Deutronomic). Personally, I believe the evidence is scant for the JEPD theory. Ultimately, we don't know for sure who wrote the pentateuch.


Why do you lie that the Torah is older than a bible?

This question is inflammatory. The word Torah means instruction. The first five books of the JudeoChristian Bible is the Torah. Since it is generally agreed that these same five books are the foundation of both Judaism and Christianity and that these are the eldest books of the Bible, it is not a lie. The JudeoChristian Bible was set as cannon in two stages. The Old Testament (Tanakh to the Jews) was formalized in a continuing process until about 100 AD. The New Testament cannon was not formalized until about 400AD. The Bible as Christians know it was finalized about that time. The Torah is the foundation of both religions and is recognized as the basis of JudeoChristian ethics. Archeological evidence found in the Qumran region, known as the Dead Sea Scrolls, confirm that copies of Torah scrolls were actively being used before the first century.
