used among the Greeks to mean the founding of a place, a city or colony, signifies, in Scripture, “to create,” always of the act of God, whether (a) in the natural creation, Mar 13:19<\/span>; Rom 1:25<\/span> (where the title “The Creator” translates the article with the aorist participle of the verb); 1Co 11:9<\/span>; Eph 3:9<\/span>; Col 1:16<\/span>; 1Ti 4:3<\/span>; Rev 4:11<\/span>; Rev 10:6<\/span>, or (b) in the spiritual creation, Eph 2:10<\/span>, Eph 2:15<\/span>; Eph 4:24<\/span>; Col 3:10<\/span>. See MAKE. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n primarily “the act of creating,” or “the creative act in process,” has this meaning in Rom 1:20<\/span>; Gal 6:15<\/span>. Like the English word “creation,” it also signifies the product of the “creative” act, the “creature,” as in Mar 16:15<\/span>, RV; Rom 1:25<\/span>; Rom 8:19<\/span>; Col 1:15<\/span> etc.; in Heb 9:11<\/span>, AV, “building.” In Mar 16:15<\/span>; Col 1:23<\/span> its significance has special reference to mankind in general. As to its use in Gal 6:15<\/span>; 2Co 5:17<\/span>, in the former, apparently, “the reference is to the creative act of God, whereby a man is introduced into the blessing of salvation, in contrast to circumcision done by human hands, which the Judaizers claimed was necessary to that end. In 2Co 5:17<\/span> the reference is to what the believer is in Christ; in consequence of the creative act he has become a new creature.”* [*From Notes on Galatians, by Hogg and Vine, p. 339.] <\/p>\n Ktisis is once used of human actions, 1Pe 2:13<\/span>, “ordinance” (marg., “creation”). See BUILDING, ORDINANCE. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n has the concrete sense, “the created thing, the creature, the product of the creative act,” 1Ti 4:4<\/span>; Jam 1:18<\/span>; Rev 5:13<\/span>; Rev 8:9<\/span>. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n among the Greeks, the founder of a city, etc., denotes in Scripture “the Creator,” 1Pe 4:19<\/span> (cp. Rom 1:20<\/span>, under B, No. 1, above). <\/p>\n Note: It is a significant confirmation of Rom 1:20-21<\/span>, that in all non-Christian Greek literature these words are never used by Greeks to convey the idea of a Creator or of a creative act by any of their gods. The words are confined by them to the acts of human beings. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n “a living creature:” see BEAST. <\/p>\n Create, Creation, Creator, Creature used among the Greeks to mean the founding of a place, a city or colony, signifies, in Scripture, “to create,” always of the act of God, whether (a) in the natural creation, Mar 13:19; Rom 1:25 (where the title “The Creator” translates the article with the aorist participle of the verb); … Continue reading “Create, Creation, Creator, Creature”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-39780","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-encyclopedic-dictionary"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/dictionaries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39780","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/dictionaries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/dictionaries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/dictionaries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/dictionaries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=39780"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/dictionaries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39780\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/dictionaries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=39780"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/dictionaries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=39780"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/dictionaries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=39780"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Fuente: Vine’s Dictionary of New Testament Words<\/b><\/i><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
