Not me since "falsified" relates to science.Can someone explain what the OP says?
The name Y*H*A* appeared about 7,000 times in the Hebrew Bible. Some people have removed this name in the course of time, can't we therefore say that the the Tanakh has been falsfied?
And how do we know if this is the only forgery? If it was possible for them to remove the name of God about 7,000 times. Then how can we be sure that something else has not been removed, changed or added?
I believe the evidence has determined that the Torah. first part of the Tankh is an evolved and edited text with roots in Sumerian, Babylonian, Ugarit and Canaanite texts. If one considers this evolution of the edited text falsified, than it indeed has been falsified.
I would see the Torah a result of face to face discussions between God and Moses

I am truly curious: how eo you reckon that will scare or imtimidate those who dont believe in Hell, di not believe in the devil, and see Satan as someone very important and very obedient to god? You might as well tell me that Zues is going to strike me dead because I anger him. We could threaten you with Ammit, but that probably holds no sway o er you to chamge your ways.

Bahaullah went one better. He believed Tanakh, Avesta, Bible and Quran because he was seeking disciples from all groups.
There are always a reason for belief.
All the stories were borrowed from earlier civilizations. They are neither history nor science.

Any evidence, or convincing evidence?Can you provide any evidence of the existence of texts before ~700 BCE?

Noahs ark lacked critical features to make it seaworthy, and it too would have been tossed and thrashed about and it most certainly would not have survived the conditions it would have been exposed to.In the case of Noah the so called 'earlier versions' had problems like the most powerful force being magic and an cube shaped ark that would roll all over the ocean like a volleyball
All?
Or are u being hyperbolic?
The exodus? the fall of Jericho? David and Goliath? The death and resurrection of Jesus with eyewitnesses?
Na, not simply from other civs

I do not know Jesus' reason to believe in Tanakh. And if he believed, that is not surprising. A whole lot of people believe in their scriptures as if they were from a really existing Ahur Mazda/God/Allah/Ishwara. They do not apply Okham's Razor. Charvaks, Jains and Buddhists of India were among the first to do so.Jesus believed it because He believed it to be true.
Jesus was not a politician (or a marketing strategist) who stuck his finger in the wind and altered his message to people's preferences
That is interesting, with a gyroscopic hold which will stay upright. Nothing ever was a problem for writers of scriptures.In the case of Noah the so called 'earlier versions' had problems like the most powerful force being magic and an cube shaped ark that would roll all over the ocean like a volleyball
Any evidence, or convincing evidence?
Are u looking for plausible or probable?
