Bible Question:
Did God create Life? If so where in the bible can I find this? I have asked this question many times but never get an answer |
Bible Answer: abccan: Having read your initial question and your subsequent responses that neither the opening chapters of Genesis nor the opening verses of the Gospel of John answer your question, I'm baffled that you appear to find them inadequate. I suggest you explain exactly what you're looking for. The Bible teaches in Genesis, John, and elsewhere that God created the universe ex nihilo, i.e., from nothing. There was no life on earth before God created life (Genesis 1:2). God spoke and grass came into being (Gen. 1:11). Grass is a living thing. God spoke and sea creatures and fowl came into being (Gen. 1:20-22). Sea creatures and fowl are living things. God spoke and land creatures came into being (Gen. 1:24,25. Land creatures are living things. Finally, God created man in His own image (Gen. 1:26-28). Man is a living being. ...... So, friend, if this doesn't convince you that God created life, I don't know what would. --Hank |
