was the Torah present during the time of Samuel?

(Previously in Israel, a person would say when he went to inquire of God, "Come on! Let's go to the seer!" because the person known as a prophet today was formerly called a seer.) (1 Samuel 9:9)

-------------------

the aboive saying seems to confirms that during the time of Samuel the Torah of Moses was not present with them. Notice how the above says " PREVIOUSLY IN ISRAEL" that is in the past, secondly if a man wanted to inquire of God he will go to a seer! Now known as a prophet?

What's fascinating about the above verse is that had Samuel known of the Torah of Moses then he would of seen the word Prophet is mentioned many times not seer! In fact the word seer is only found in the book of Samuel?

-------------

Was Samuel not aware of the much controversial passage from Deuteronomy 18

I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their fellow Israelites, and I will put my words in his mouth. He will tell them everything I command him. (Deuteronomy 18:18 Masoretic Torah)

Here we read Yahweh saying he will raise a PROPHET (נָבִ֨יא) Nabi not SEER. That was one of many many other verses which speaks of Prophets and nowhere is seer mentioned that's according to the Masoretic.

In short 1 Samuel 9:9 the word “Prophet” was not used before Samuel the prophet, yet we find the word “prophet” all through the Torah, indicating we don’t have the “real” law of Moses. This tells us that the original Torah was not with Samuel !

Sorry to be harsh!

Feel real sorry for African Christians with all due respect either way they are lost... Take for instant this nasara by the name of prince David Marcus. Since he's new to Christianity he's using old Christian missionary busted tactics which have been destroyed by Muslims centuries ago...

He is bringing up the same old debunked claims how can Mary Pbuh be the sister of Aaron Pbuh? Even though he's posted the Hadith which explains the verse this nasara wants to mock.. And what makes me laugh is on his post he wrote " EVEN SISTER OR BROTHER IS INAPPROPRIATE AND NOT USED IN HEBREW"? Really Marcus lol lets use his own bible to destroy this pea brained street evangelist lol

Thou shalt not abhor an Edomite; for he is thy brother: thou shalt not abhor an Egyptian; because thou wast a stranger in his land. (Deuteronomy 23:7)

So the Edomites should not be despised because they are your brother what the whole tribe?

-----------------

And when Abram heard that his brother lot was taken captive, he armed his trained servants, born in his own house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued them unto Dan. (Genesis 14:14)

And he brought back all the goods, and also brought again his brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the people. (Genesis 14:12)

So Abram said to Lot, "Please let there be no strife between you and me, nor between my herdsmen and your herdsmen, for we are brothers.

(Genesis 13:8)

So Abrahams nephew Lot is also his brother?

------------

For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother."

(Matthew 12:50)

So anyone who follows Jesus is his brother and sister or mother ?

-----------

In the time of Herod king of Judea, there was a priest named Zechariah, who belonged to the priestly division of Abijah, and whose wife Elizabeth was a daughter of Aaron.

(Luke 1:5)

Was she really the daughter of Aaron ? Or descendent now imagine if we start playing those pathetic games how will u react!!   

------------

He will be a FRUITFUL MAN; his hand will be with everyone and everyone's hand will be with him, and he will live among all his brothers."

(Genesis 16:12 Samaritan text) 

How many brothers did Ishmael Pbuh have?

--------------

"I have become a brother to jackals And a companion of ostriches.

(Job 30:29)

Was he really the brother of jackals ?

Something to ponder on

The word Judaism is not found in the Old Testament, nor is Judaism called a Religion in the Old Testament so what religion did Moses present to the children of Israel  I.e Nation to follow?

Now one may say just because the Old Testament doesn't use the word Judaism doesn't mean people wasn't aware of it, take for instance the New Testament we find Judaism in there. But notice Judaism is only spoken by Paul? Not even Jesus himself nor the gospels uttered such a word?. Secondly the questions authenticity depends on the Old Testament the entire codex has no mention of such a religion how comes ? 

---------------

Here comes the blow 

What religion did the prophets of the Old Testament follow is not mentioned, nor does the Old Testament distinguish their belief status other then calling them righteous, upright, perfect, servants etc... Now what makes you say they did not follow Islam as their religion since being righteous, upright, prefect is following the right path o.e monotheism which is the religion of ISLAM...

Christians say there is no Islam in the bible nor is Judaism found in the Tanack shall we conclude Moses and his people did not have a religion?
