Evidence of Moses as the Inspired Writer of the Pentateuch in Scripture
"Do not imagine that I am going to accuse you
before the Father: you have placed your hopes on Moses, and Moses will be the
one who accuses you. If you really believed him you would believe me too,
since it was about me that he was writing.."
Jesus addressing the Jews of Jerusalem in John
5:45-46
