Looks like preacher4truth does not care for the truth. But you can simply bypass this thread instead of sniping at the OP.
Always the ad hominem from you. A practice of yours.

...totally uncalled for and un Christian.

My attempt was to balance out your broad brushing. Go ahead, get your slanderous remarks in, it's your lifestyle and practice. And I'll continue to comment. You can get your last word in now.

Jacob was an adult before Shem died, and Shem was an adult before the flood. Jacob's descendants gave the information of Genesis to Moses. Moses wrote it down.
That would be the humanistic solution to the problem. The simpler and spiritual solution would be that God gave every word to Moses, included the jot's and the tittles. Indeed this was the attitude and understanding of Hebrew scribes, who counted every letter in the Torah, since Hebrew is consonantal. Moreover, to this day there are Hebrew mathematicians who believe that there is a hidden Bible code within the Torah itself which has predictive value. Regardless, we should be clear that the Higher Critics were rationalists and humanists and rejected the supernatural solution. I trust you will not accept their ideas.
