I said specifically that I was not a theologian or a scientist. There is no certainty in my statements about Moses, and I certainly didn’t mean to imply that there was. I included them only to show that there are plenty of questions on the origin, and translation of the Pentatuach. My limited knowledge comes from Catechist training in the Catholic Church, reading, and bible study. My beliefs are consistant with the teachings of the Catholic church.

I did not imply that the Bible was undependable. To the contrary, I believe the Bible is quite dependable. I do not believe in a literal translation, that’s all. It is possible to believe in the truth of the Bible, without a literal translation. You may not agree with it, but it is possible.

I truly don’t know what you mean about dependent translations. I am not trying to convince anyone to agree with me. Someone posted that it is not possible to believe in Christ and evolution, I only seek to prove they are wrong and that it is possible to believe in both. In fact, many people do. It is not my intention to offend anyone, or to sway opinions.

Appreciated. I will write some more when I have time and health, but for now, your wording to the effect that what we have are only error laden translations of translations can be misleading and should be addressed.
