Tradition says that the Pentateuch are all written by Moses. Wikipedia says in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentateuch :
”Today most academic scholars say that the Torah has multiple authors, and that its composition took place over centuries.”
What is right and what is wrong? Did Moses really write Genesis through Deuteronomy?

The last people I would believe are the so-called academic scholars.
And, btw, who says most academic scholars say the Pentateuch was written by multiple authors?
Wikipedia.
Propaganda is all it is.
Why do you think that? Do you think everything on Wikipedia is propaganda, or do you have specific reasons to believe this is the case in this instance eg do you know the real statistics of academic scholarly opinion?
Or are you just thinking of negative things to say about a conclusion you don't like?

Originally posted by josephwAll believe that Deuteronomy was completed by someone other than Moses, since it is unlikely that he recorded his own death.

Originally posted by RJHindsWhy is that unlikely? Surely if all the writing was coming from God anyway, then there would be no difficulties with him recording his own death. If the writing did not come from God, then how would the writers have known about the many things recorded in the books that they could not possibly have known without assistance from God?

It seems to me that you are being inconsistent.

Originally posted by josephwActually, I think you'll find that most people say there is a God.
So what? Most people say there is no God.
If you're not a reliable source on such a simple and verifiable matter as this, what credibility do you think your "The last people I would believe are the so-called academic scholars" thing has?

Originally posted by FMFI didn't say most people don't believe in God. I said only a few believe God.

Everyone knows there is a creator God. Many deny it. A lot say they believe in God or there is a God, but only a few believe God.

Any so-called scholarly opinion that contradicts the truth of God's Word is a lie.
And yes, for fun I think of negative things to say about things I disagree with. 🙄
