Bible Note: 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 |
