"Moses the 'lawgiver' penned that Book of Genesis,"

No he didn't. There were many many hands that wrote that book. None of them mentioned 2 Adam's or more than Noah's family surviving the Flood though. :)

"and he was of the tribe of Levi and it was Moses that stood on the mount of transfiguration with Christ and Elijah. (Matthew 17:2 and Mark 9:2)"

That's the Christian spin on it. The Jews (who wrote the book) rightly point out that Christ doesn't appear in Genesis.

"There were 12 tribes in case you have not read and each are listed in Genesis..."

And they were led by Admiral Adama.

"Now you might take the time to find out what the "original" Hebrew actually says in Genesis before you make claims you can't back up."

I know it doesn't support your rewrites. :)

The bible is clear that moses wrote the Pentateuch - the scroll that was divided in then second century BCE into the first five books of the bible. Exodus, Leviticus and Deuteronomy contain explicit references to the Moses' authorship.

In the New Testament, the Gospels of Mathew, Mark Luke and John all contain quotes from Jesus indicating he considered Moses to be the author.

But Moses dies before the end of book five. This is sometimes explained that his death and what came after was revealed to him but the simpler explanation is that others worked on the scroll too. That's what I believe.

Genesis 1:26 And God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, and after Our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon earth."

27 So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them.

28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, "Be fruitful, and multiply, and *REPLENISH* the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth."

v 31 And God saw everything that He had made, and, behold, it was *VERY GOOD*. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

Genesis 2:1-3 A day of rest

Genesis 2:4 These are THE GENERATIONS OF THE HEAVENS AND OF THE EARTH when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,

NOW PAY ATTENTION!!!!!

5 And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and ever herb of the field before it grew:

for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth,


and there was NOT a man to till the ground.




I guess then these that make that false claim that Christ is NOT mentioned in Genesis ignore Genesis 3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her Seed; "It shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise His heel."

Now the bruising of His heel has happened Christ has been crucified, but that head of the serpent has not yet been bruised!!!!!
