Genesis

The creation. God created the earth and everything on it in seven days.

Adam and Eve sinned. In effect, Adam lost a battle with Satan and submitted himself to Satan. There is a spiritual law that whoever you yield yourself as servant to obey, that's who's servant you are. Satan became head of Adam and this subjection has been passed on from generation to generation ever since. This subjection or slavery to Satan is known as original sin. The plan for salvation was first mentioned at this time.

Cain killed Able for envy.

The descendants of Adam and Eve became increasingly evil. Eventually, they brought the judgment of the flood on themselves (there is ample evidence of this world-wide flood throughout the earth today). God gave Noah the pattern for the ark. What we have of that pattern shows great wisdom in creating an ark that would be stable and sea worthy. Noah and his three sons and their wives survived the flood, but all the rest were taken.

God called His chosen race through Abraham, then Isaac, then Jacob. Esau, Jacob's fleshly brother, was a type of the flesh. Abraham also had a son, born of a slave woman, named Ishmael, who was also a type of the fleshly nature.

Authorship:

The first five books of the Bible were written by Moses. Over recent centuries, scholars have developed stories that claim that Moses didn't write these five books. Those stories that the scholars tell are all based on assumptions and rationalizations. Some of them assume that God could not possibly write through an author about history that happened before that author was born. What would prevent the Almighty from doing that? Some of them assume that God cannot tell an author to write about something that is going to happen in the future. Perhaps they can't believe that God knows all about the future and speaks about the future as if it has already taken place.  Some of them assume that God cannot inspire a writer if that writer is writing about what they themselves have seen or what another witness has seen. There are other assumptions that are made, but they mostly rest in a rejection of the power and authority of God, Who uses many means to do what He does. The reality is that the entire Bible testifies to the fact that Moses wrote these books and that Moses was inspired by the Holy Ghost--The Holy Ghost wrote these books through Moses. This should not be surprising to any Christian, since Christian are to be allowing God to do His work through them in everything they think, say, and do. Perhaps some have so drifted away from God that they don't have this relationship in any sense any more.
