pcdarcan - It isn't a matter of hair splitting at all; it's a matter of using the correct tense of the verb "create." Of course, God created all things, as Rev. 4:11 plainly says. But it does say "created" and does not say "creates." Go back and brush up on what the Bible says God did in the six days of creation and what He did on the seventh day. "And God saw all that He had made, and behold it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day. Thus the heavens and the earth were COMPLETED, and all their hosts. By the seventh day God COMPLETED His work which He had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done." (Genesis 1:31-2:2). God doesn't need to continue to create birds and bees and flowers and people. He created them all fully capable of producing after their kind, "whose seed was in itself" to use a familiar phrase from the King James Bible. --Hank | ||||||

Hi Hank, Respectfully, where did I say "create"? Your previous post quoted me as saying: "God Almighty is everyone's Creator". I can qualify that by saying, whether they believe in creation or not. If someone were to say, "God is my Creator", I wouldn't have any problem with that statement, nor does the Bible: "Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker." Psalm 95:6 (NIV) I don't know of anyone who would castigate David for calling the Lord our "Maker", even though David wasn't directly created by God. I think we are saying the same thing Hank but maybe its a misunderstanding of what I actually said in the post? |

pcdarcan - Forums are such terrible ways to communicate! By their very nature, they have a tendency to lure their users into splitting hairs and sawing sawdust! I am a creationist and not an evolutionist, same as you apparently are, for which I commend you. I believe that God created man in the same sense that Genesis 1 uses it and John 1:3 affirms. I do not believe the psalmist erred by calling the Lord our Maker in Psalm 95:6. I believe that God created man as a man and not as a generic tadpole in a primordial swamp who eventually evolved into a man. On this I assume we agree. Now let's bid our leave of this and move forward. --Hank | ||||||
