Other Religions
Question
Hello Rabbi,
How do you relate to mass revelations in other religions?
For example, Muhammad splitting the moon, or even miracles of Greek gods. Doesn’t that indicate that it’s probably relatively easy to implant stories of mass revelations into a culture?
Answer
Obviously, revelations and miracles can be introduced. Why go to those stories when we have God's revelations to Jesus and Muhammad? The question is how large the audience present was and how reliable the tradition is.
Discussion on Answer
How many were there? And more importantly, give me serious sources (like the Hebrew Bible) and not some post on some blog or some commenter on TikTok.
What? Why is the Hebrew Bible considered a serious source?
In the miracle of the moon being split, there was a large audience.
