Belief in a Creator God

God created by His “rhema,” meaning “word,” His divine utterance. What did He create? Worlds, “aion,” plural, indicating the physical universe and the order which controls it, and its administration. The word also conveys the concept of ages. It includes time/space/matter/purpose.

There is no science that can disprove Hebrews 11: 3, “By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.”  (Hebrews 11:3).

The things seen, everything there is, are composed of things which we cannot see, atoms. This statement was made long before scientists knew there were atoms.

Those who believe in evolution do so by faith. For a thing to be a science it must pass two tests: it must be observable and demonstrable. Evolution is neither. Therefore, it is not a science and those who believe it believe it by faith.

Likewise those who believe in creation believe it by faith and the fact Christ said, “from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.”

We live by faith.  We drink water from a faucet, eat in a deli, place our pay in a bank, fly in a plane, drive in the rain, undergo surgery, and take medicine by faith.

Evidence means proof.  Our faith is in the unseen but not the unknown.  A photon illustrates this. Scientists believe in photons. Yet, they have never seen one. They only exist when traveling at the speed of light, 185,000 miles per second. At that speed they have never been photographed. Though unseen scientists still believe in photons.

There is no science that can disprove, “By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible”  (Hebrews 11:3).

“Belief” and “trust,” two words used frequently in Scripture to identify how we should respond to the Lord.

The Hebrew word for believe is “amen.” It means “to use God as a foundation; to lean on Him.”

Another word translated “trust” is BATAK. It was originally a wrestling term meaning to “body-slam” or in modern parlance “suplex.” Applied to our faith-life, it means to pick up your problems and body-slam them before the Lord.

“Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ.”  (Col. 2:8)
