Reason 23 - A Bold Statement No Human Being Would Make
A statement no human being would have the audacity to write
Rabbi Shmeul Waldman writes in Beyond a Reasonable Doubt (2004) on page 101:
Here’s…. (a) statement that no human being, would have had the audacity to write. In Deuteronomy 4:32-36 it says: You might inquire about times long past, going back to the time that God created man on earth, from one end of the heavens to the other. See if anything as great as this has ever happened, or if the like has ever been heard. Has any nation ever heard God speaking out of fire, as you have, and remained alive? Has God ever done miracles bringing one nation from the midst of another nation with such tremendous trials, signs and wonders, and war, and a mighty hand and outstretched arm, and terrifying phenomena, as God did for you in Egypt before your very eyes? You are the ones who have been shown, so that you will know that God is the Supreme Being, and there is none other besides Him. From Heaven, He let you hear His voice so as to discipline you. And on earth He showed you His great fire, and you heard his words from within the fire. |
