Not true, Jimbo. (hola, by the way)
The written Torah happened within recorded history.
And the Oral Torah...like ALL oral traditions HAD TO have changed over 
time.

Of course, you will offer that God influenced the writing. 
But did God also direct what certain people included in the NOW Bible?
Just as God did with the Book of Mormon?

JS>...as in: 'In the beginning God created...'

But MEN wrote those words OBVIOUSLY anything from billions, millions, to 
thousands of years after the happening. Depending on ones' opinion.

Moses wasn't there, Jim. ;)
