GENESIS 2 The man and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame (Genesis 2:25). It may seem strange to us that Adam and Eve were not ashamed of their nakedness. This statement needs to be understood with what follows in Genesis 3, where we read that after they sinned against God, “the … Continue reading “GOD AND NAKEDNESS”

ROMANS 9:20 But who are you, O man, to talk back to God? “Shall what is formed say to him who formed it, ‘Why did you make me like this?’ ” (Romans 9:20). The Bible tells us that man is a creation of God. How ironic it is then that if there is anything we humans … Continue reading “THE CREATION OF MAN”

GENESIS 1 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them (Genesis 1:27). What does it mean to be made in the image of God? Mormonism maintains that human beings are the literal offspring of “God” and that “God” exists in a … Continue reading “THE IMAGE OF GOD”

GENESIS 2 Now the Lord God had formed out of the ground all the beasts of the field and all the birds of the air. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name (Genesis 2:19). In Genesis 2:19–20 … Continue reading “THE BIRTH OF SCIENCE”

GENESIS 1 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light (Genesis 1:3). As God begins to work with the raw material of His creation, His first act is to separate darkness from light. Notice that the Bible does not give us a mechanical description of how this light was produced. Rather, the … Continue reading ““LET THERE BE LIGHT””

ROMANS 11:36 For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be the glory forever! Amen (Romans 11:36). Why did God create the world? One of the most foolish answers advanced is that God was lonely and needed to create someone with whom to have fellowship. The Christian doctrine of … Continue reading “WHY DID GOD CREATE?”

COLOSSIANS 1:15–23 For by him all things were created (Colossians 1:16a). The word for God in Genesis 1:1 and the Old Testament is elohim, which is the plural of the Hebrew el. The verb create is singular, however, so we cannot translate the verse “the gods created,” but rather we must see the plural elohim … Continue reading “WHO CREATED THE WORLD?”

2 KINGS 16:19 As for the other events of the reign of Ahaz, and what he did, are they not written in the book of the Annals of the Kings of Judah? (2 Kings 16:19). We do not have the Annals of the Kings of Judah, but we do have some ancient Hebrew writings that … Continue reading “WHAT ABOUT THE APOCRYPHA?”

GENESIS 1 God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day (Genesis 1:31). Historically the church has generally interpreted the six days of Genesis 1 as twenty-four hour days. After the rise of modern science, however, the question was raised whether or … Continue reading “THE STRUCTURE OF GENESIS 1”

GENESIS 1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth (Genesis 1:11). The opening words of Genesis 1 say that God created the heavens and the earth. This does not mean “sky and ground,” but is a Hebrew way of saying God created all things. The statement that God created all things is … Continue reading “THE KING OF CREATION”
