Did Moses write Genesis?

[NotWorthy]

The fact that you don’t like the NAB is immaterial. It is the bible of choice of the USCCB.

True, for the reading of the lectionary, it is the interpretation of choice. I’m not sure if it’s accurate to assume that the commentary is also “choice among our bishops”.

Note also in your quoted section, you claim Abraham offered sacrifice at Mount Garizim. In fact, that is Samaritan tradition.

And your point is…? Deuteronomy 11:29 mentions Mt. Gerizim, as the Haydock mentions, in the NAB as well.

And lastly, but not worth pursuing on another thread, are you fond of the NAB’s commentary?

What other Bible do they use?

And yet the Holy Family worshiped at Mount Moriah.

The Samaritan temple was on Mount Gerizim, and John Hyrcanus destroyed it.

And lastly, but not worth pursuing on another thread, are you fond of the NAB’s commentary?

What difference does that make?

What other Bible do they use?

Our parish preist, as well as the Benedictine priest at our local retreat center loathe the NAB’s commentaries. They use various ones, and are not beholden to any one. But they agree, as do many others that I know of, that NAB’s commentaries are not well thought of.

And yet the Holy Family worshiped at Mount Moriah.

Are you confusing sites? Yes, Mt. Gerizim is in Samaria in Jesus’ time, where Abraham had earlier settle, but at the time it was part of Canaan - and will become Israel. Mt. Moriah is in the Jerusalem area, where Abraham was to sacrifice Isaac, except for the angel’s words. But that’s got nothing to do with this part of Genesis.

The Samaritan temple was on Mount Gerizim, and John Hyrcanus destroyed it.

And your point is? At the time of Abraham, it was part of Canaan. What in the world does Hyrcanus have to do with that?

What difference does that make?

Ah, another one of your non-answers. But it doesn’t make a difference.

If their “loathing” has meaning, let them come here and explain it.

The Jews of Christ’s time considered those who worshipped at Gerizim to be heretics and shunned them. They rejected the identification of Gerizim with Abraham.

He destroyed the temple because he considered it heresy to claim it had an association with Abraham.

No, merely a recognition of an attempt to pull the thread off-topic.

And… Genesis wasn’t written during Christ’s time. Does this have a point?

He destroyed the temple because he considered it heresy to claim it had an association with Abraham.

And that made it true? Wow, the Jews were anti-Samaritan!!! Who would have thought that?

No, merely a recognition of an attempt to pull the thread off-topic.

No, I was assuming your attempt to show that the Jews in Christ’s time didn’t believe that Abraham ever settled around Gerizim, even though Scripture says it, was an attempt to pull the thread off-topic.

Mine was merely an attempt to learn more about your thought process.

I’m sorry, but YOU ASKED, Vern. It’s odd that you ask a question. I answer. You respond “What’s your point” and “Let them come to explain”. If you’re truly interested, you’ll find numerous threads on this site bemoaning the commentaries of the NAB.

It means a conflict in traditions.

And that made it true? Wow, the Jews were anti-Samaritan!!! Who would have thought that?s

I have to say that post is NotWorthy of you.

No, I was assuming your attempt to show that the Jews in Christ’s time didn’t believe that Abraham ever settled around Gerizim, even though Scripture says it, was an attempt to pull the thread off-topic.

Hardly – I merely pointed out that Jewish tradition is not as firm nor is it infallible as Christian Sacred Tradition

Mine was merely an attempt to learn more about your thought process.

What do my thought processes have to do with whether Moses wrote Genesis or not?
