Internal consistency of the Bible: Difference between revisions

As [[Maimonides]] states "The Torah that we have today is the one dictated to Moses by God".<ref>Maimonides, Commentary on Mishnah, Sanhedrin 11:1, Article 8</ref> A website concerned with Jewish law states, on the question of whether the Torah is free rom error: <blockquote>In short the answer is Yes. Maimonides (also know as the Rambam) codifies 13 principles which are basic to Judaism. These principles are pretty much universally accepted as binding in all Orthodox forms of Judaism. Principle number 8 is, "The belief in the divine origin of the Torah." Principle number 9 is, "The belief in the immutability of the Torah."</blockquote>

However, the site is at pains "to differentiate between the idea of the Torah being perfect as understood in Judaism and the concept of '[[Biblical Inerrancy]]' as understood by many Christian groups." "Judaism believes that the Torah was revealed in two parts. The written text of the Torah was dictated to Moses exactly as we have it today. Together with this 'Written Torah', much additional information about each commandment, as well as a complete system of Torah interpretation was was also given to Moses and passed down through the generations."<ref>Mi Yodeya.
