Creationism Day 3: Part 2

 

    God spent the first three days creating the foundation of our world to prepare it for life.  He separated and expanded on what he created making it work just the way He wanted it to work.  In the process he created beauty that can't be replicated.

    God used the water that He created on day one to expand the world and provide a variety of vegetation life.  Every plant has a purpose: food, ecological, and more.  God gathered some of the water and put inland creating lakes, pools, waterfalls, streams, rivers, and a underground water system.  That is why there was no need for rain.  Everything was balanced and worked perfectly.

    The water that flows under the ground connects with the seas or oceans.  It all interconnects and works together.  Water is amazingly refreshing, powerful, and in creditable source of life. While land is the solid formation of life, power, and beauty.  There was no mud.  Paradise with the perfect climate and atmosphere covered the entire world.  Once God provided solid, dry land the foundation was complete to sustain life.

    Oceans provides 70% of the world's oxygen.  It controls the climate and weather.  It is where we find a lot of medicine.  Even if the medicine is not in the water, it can be found nearby on land.  Pure sea salt is an example.  It holds minerals that the human body needs as long as it is not manipulated by people.  Water has dominion of the world.  It should be respected and taken care of, so we can live the best quality of life.

    The third day being the last day of separation and expansion was not an accident.  The number three holds a lot of scriptural meaning.  It represents new life (Jesus' resurrection).  It holds a covenant of humility.  It represents first fruits.  It is when sorrow ends and you can find joy again.  In the beginning God created three things on the third day:  dry land, seas, and vegetation.   There are significant examples of how the trinity holds the number three with importance throughout the Bible.  It all falls under God's authority.

Genesis 1:9-13, Psalm 8, & Colossians 1:15-20

Creationism Day 3: Part 1

 

    Creationism is a theological study.  It is where science and the Bible begin.  The website creation.com really goes into great detail about it through the young earth perspective.  Science was never supposed to be separated from scripture, but it was meant to back up the Bible's principles and confirm it.  

    The Bible is God breathed.  Moses may have written it, but it came from God.  It is truth.  It is accurate.  It is the origin story through eye witness accounts that was carried through the years by sacred verbal stories until it was able to be written.  God is the first witness because He is the creator.

    Day one, the heavens and earth were created, but were formless.  Light and dark was also separated.  Day two, the sky and waters were separated creating their own environments.  Day three is the last day of separation.  

    Day three is the day that the world got ready to sustain life before it was actually brought into the world.  The land separated from the waters to become livable.  God gave land formation.  It is believed that it was all one massive land and that it separated during the flood.  We know that water has great power to change the shape of rocks and land.  It was just a very progressive change like when God shaped it originally.

    The land became earth and the waters became seas.  There was vegetation and color were created.  I can only imagine how clean and beautiful it all was.  There was no death or decay at that time, so plants could live forever.  Plants were always supposed to sustain life.  To destroy God's creation is to destroy your own life.

    God created all this in 24 hours.  It proves how creative He is.  It shows that the impossible is possible for Him.  Nothing is impossible when it comes to God.  This is only the beginning for our world and our creation.  This is when there was perfect peace.

Genesis 1:9-13, Jeremiah 22:6-7, & Colossians 1:15-20

Creationism Day 2: Part 2

 

    The Atmosphere was created on the second day of the world's existence.  The Atmosphere is the canopy of a mixture of moisture and oxygen that makes the air breathable.  It was staple in the beginning which means that it never rained until the days of the flood.  It was the perfect humidity, temperature, and climate.

    If sin entering the world affected the world, then that means that it did not just affect the ground.  It also affected the atmosphere.  In Noah's day, it brought the flood.  Today we have poor quality air and acid rain.  The more we hurt our world, the more we have to expect it to give us pollution.

    God created His world perfect including the atmosphere.  It did not have deserts or swamps in the beginning, but even if it did it would have been perfect.  It was ageless.  The world was meant to grow and populate, but be eternal.   It easily sustained life.  It took a violent event to change the world.  First the expelling of Adam and Even from the Garden, then the flood, then war, and so on.  The more we allow sin to pollute our planet the more it changes it from it's perfect design.

    Water was separated on the second day.   It still covered the planet, but it became drastically less in the air, so it became the sky and water, above and below.  It displays how God can do whatever He wants, His power, His purpose for life.  He was very detailed and structured in how He created the world.  Water is affected by the rain, wind, rapids, tides, and evaporation (vapor).  

    Water empowers life through the enforcement of God.  That is why water is a part of salvation.  It washes you clean from all your past sins in the baptismal waters.  It is not literal, but in a sense it can be.  It empowers you through obedience to follow Jesus.

    The sky should be appreciated and enjoyed because it displays God's glory.  It is a deliberate part of His handiwork.  Sunsets and sunrises are the most beautiful part of the day and can be a reminder of His creation story.  Everything that God created is beautiful.

    The sky consist of a mixture of nitrogen and oxygen.  That was part of God's creation.  All the elements were created by God.  He was the first chemist.  He created the perfect mixture to make the moisture in the air work to make it breathable.   If you were to change it just a little, the air would become deadly toxic.

    The sky consist of three heavens: throne of God (our true home),  space (stellar), and our blue oxidized sky that holds our atmosphere.  Day two is water and air which are the elements of survival.  Spiritually it represents Jesus: ever lasting life through him,  Salvation is not physical, but spiritual.  God's creation is a physical representation of what spiritual salvation can be like for you.  One day Jesus will return to earth on the clouds, so there is nothing wrong with looking up with excitement.

Creationism Day 2: Part 1

 

    On the second day of creation, God enhanced the sky.  Light travels 180,000 miles per second, so imagine how the beauty was beginning to magnify.  He formed the stars and space structure to give light and beauty from all sorts of angles.  

    Moondust reflects the sun's light.  The moon absorbs the sun's radiation creating the dust.  It makes it appear like the moon has it's own light, but it was created to give light in the darkness.  When Armstrong was to step on the moon, he was afraid that he would be swallowed by the moondust.  He had no idea what the surface would hold.  It made him brave and a discoverer of a secret of God.  He helped clarify a mystery of God's creation.

    When God speaks, it is instant.  He created the world by speaking it.  On the first day it was intertwined with water which He also spoke into existence.  Next came light to separate the dark.  Then the Holy Spirit got the world to start rotating.  God and the Holy Spirit worked together to create time and gravity.  Yet, there still was no sun or moon.

    Day 2 God separated the water.   Heaven (atmospheric sky and space) was separated from the earth.  The first three days consisted of separating what God had created and putting everything in it's proper place.  The second day allowed the air to be breathable.  The expanse became more visible as the thinness was spread out.  Basically the air that is breathable was separated from the air that is not breathable.  It comes to the amount of water in the air.  

    Day two the sea still was not separated from dry land.  God focused on the bigger project of air, space, and sky.  Outer space (unbreathable air area) has little to no water, so there is nothing to give it heaviness to make it breathable.  In the earth's atmosphere where there is breathable air, the water is in the form of vapors.  They help create the clouds.  

    The sky holds about 54 trillion gallons of water which can be seen in the form of clouds.  When they get too heavy they get dark and you know it will be released soon.  Clouds are balanced in the sky.  they are not affected by gravity.  They help keep the law of gravity and pressure in a healthy balance.  You may notice before it storms that the air gets heavier.  You may get a head ache.  That is because the balance is changing.  Water above and below control a lot of the pressure in the world.

    God finished the day and said it was good.  It is magnificent beauty that still holds so much mystery.  This not something that just happened.  It was created with purpose, reason, and craftsmanship.  Look at the sky and you can see God's hands at work.

Genesis1: 6-8, Job 7:11-13, Psalm 19:1-6, & Colossians 1:15-20

Creationism Day 1: Part 4

 

    God took steps when creating the world and the universe that surrounds our world.  The Holy Spirit moved over the world,  He has always been connected to the world and people.  After Jesus came to this world, died, resurrected, and ascended, the Holy Spirit is what began to live in true Christians.  He is what convicts us of our sins.  He hovers over us like he did the world on day one.  He is our guide and safety in this world.

    The world was formless when God created light and separated it from darkness.  In doing this God created time.  It is called day and night.  When we are people of the world we live in the night, but once we become Christians we step into the day.  Time starts to have a new meaning.  The Holy Spirit is the light that shines within us.

    God spoke all of creation into existence.  Jesus was always there with Him.  Jesus always held authority over life.  He holds the creation together.  The Holy Spirit has always been involved in the quiet places.  It is recorded in God's Word.  When God speaks, things happen.  All that God created is beautiful.  You believe that or you don't.  It doesn't change the truth.  

    Light is what shines and gives warmth to life.  Dawn and dusk are where light and dark meet showing that darkness is not evil.  It is what happens in the darkness that can be evil.  In the darkness you can find rest, restoration, and rejuvenation.  In the light you find healing, energy, and life.  Both should be appreciated and enjoyed in honor of God and the gifts that He gave us.  They should be enjoyed and respect (maintained) at the same time.  Take care of what God has given you.

    The lost have to see the light before they will step out of the darkness.  Jesus is the light that illuminates hearts.  It is his light that gives our hearts quality of life.  God commands the light and we are to obey, so that His light will shine through us.

Genesis 1:1-5, Psalm 139:13-16, Ecclesiastes 3:9-13, John 16:5-11, Romans 10:16-18, & Colossians 1:15-20

Creationism Day 1: Part 3

 

    On the first day of creation, God created the heavens and the earth.  There was no distinction, but different matter in the dark void.  So, He created light to assist with time.   Then He separated the darkness from light.  The time of light is day and the time of darkness is night.  In making this distinction, God created time, so day one is the beginning of time.

    Time has always consisted on 24 hours, but it may have been determined differently in the earlier years.   God began creation with organization and beauty put together and that is good.  He was getting everything ready for people to be able to live comfortably with Him in this world.  Nothing good happens without organization and getting things set up to happen a certain way.

    God choosing to set up time with light and dark was not mistake.  It is the beginning step of making His perfect world.  All light comes from God.  Darkness is not evil, but it works with light to help people see beauty, find rest, and able to tell time.  Dawn and evening are spectacular events that happen everyday, but are so short.  You have to stop to even notice.  The twilight of the day is like a kiss on the cheek from God.  It is like you get to see a glimpse into the divine, but only if you stop to appreciate it.

    Time and light create a picture of Jesus and the salvation process.  Jesus' life is what brought a new life giving light into our lives.  His sacrifice and resurrection parallels with creation, but this time it is a spiritual creation.  Without Jesus, there is a void in all of our lives where no light can reach until we turn to him.

    Just like we did not exist until God made us, our salvation from the evil (that invaded God's perfect world) did not exist.  We were spiritually dead until we found Jesus.  God is the only one that can ever fill the void within people.  Just like the darkness covered the world until God created light, we are alienated from God until we turn to Jesus.  Jesus is the true light that lives within His people.  Just like God separated the darkness from light, one day He will separate His people from the worldly people.

Genesis 1:1-5,  Psalm 18:25-29, 2 Corinthians 5:16-17, Ephesians 2:1-3, & 1 John 1:3-11

Creationism Day 1: Part 2

 

    On the first day of Creation, God created the heavens and earth that was covered in water.   If there were witnesses, they would not be able to see the ground under all the water.  The Holy Spirit hovered over the water helping it to keep it's form.  I think He was helping God create the atmosphere so that it could hold life while God spoke light int existence..

    The Holy Spirit's job in the trinity is life.  God Spoke light into existence.  When He speaks things happen.  Jesus was always going to the sacrifice, the ruler, and the final judge.  He is the one that taught us what love really is.  The Holy Spirit is what empowers life.  Their relationship always has been what we call uniformitarian.  They all have their different aspects, but work as one.

    The Holy Spirt hovering over the unformed world is compared to him being like an eagle.  He was protecting God's creation.  He provided life to what would only be things.  He is still the protector of this world.  He is the source of life for all Christians.

    Light was spoken into existence.  Nothing could create light other than God.  It's creation was like flipping a light switch in the house, but for the entire world.  God's light that will never burn out or dim.  It only gets dark because it is on the other side of the world at night.  Did you know that it is believed that the light proceeded the sun?  God provides more light than just the sun.  It is just our warmest and brightest light.

    All of our creations are just imitation of what God already created.  That is why we have to approach science faithfully.  Does the science we are interested in honor God?  Is it biblical?  If the answer is no, then it doesn't matter if it would solve a problem of right now.  It means it would cause much worse problems down the road.

    Light is the first of the beautiful gifts that God gave people.  It is perfect because it helps us see everything else He does for us.  It is a gift, but it is not God.  We do not need to worship what He created, but worship Him for creating it.
