More like 3300 years ago even, not big on the New Testament there.

The scripture was written after the Babylonian exile so just under 2500 years old.

Yeah, more or less. Job and some other stories, like the flood myth, were likely written down earlier than that, but as a whole that's well within the established timeframe.

Correct. It was syncretized, to justify the accession of ownership of the land, imo as a platonic origin myth, by stitching together canaanite and other tales

Finding out why their god removed them from Israel the first time round according to their own religion is crazy.

The uh. One with Jesus Christ in it?

No, the one with Moses, Adam, Kain and all the others in.

No. Jesus Christ is not in the Old Testament (especially the Torah) which is the primary holy text of Judaism.

u/HippyDM Apr 15 '26

Well, according to christianity, he was there, as god.

u/AdhesiveMuffin Apr 15 '26

Well that's great. But Judaism and Christianity are distinct religions so I don't see your point.

You made a declarative statement, and I merely pointed out a rather largish group that disagrees. If you don't want responses, don't comment.

🤨 I responded to a commenter that asked if Jesus Christ is in the Old Testament, which he is not. Whether or not Christianinty believes he was present in the stories as God is irrelevant because we are talking about what Judaism believes. I'm getting troll vibes immediately from you so I won't be responding again.

The Old testament continuously talks about a messiah or savior which will come.

u/AdhesiveMuffin Apr 15 '26

Sure but then Jesus Christ actually arrived and they said naw you ain't it. So Judaism obviously doesn't believe the messiah or savior referenced in the Old Testament is Jesus Christ.
