Creation Genesis 1:1 Bible Study April 5, 2011 By Julius Walls, Jr.

What are some creation theories?

Creation Theories Creationism – created by a supreme being ‒ New Earth: 6015 years ago 4004 B.C. Big Bang Theory ‒ Old Earth: 13.7 billion years ago Others

Bereshit bara Elohim et hashamayim ve’et ha’arets In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Genesis 1:1 7 Hebrew words – 7 truths

Bereshit bara Elohim et hashamayim ve’et ha’arets Bereshit translated In the beginning When was the beginning? This was a beginning to what? God? Earth? Universe? When was God created? God existed before space and time God is not bound by physical laws that govern us God is an eternal being

Bereshit bara Elohim et hashamayim ve’et ha’arets bara translates created God creates ex nihilo - out of nothing Verse 1 - Heavens and Earth Verse 21 - Creatures Verse 27 - Humankind

Bereshit bara Elohim et hashamayim ve’et ha’arets Elohim translates God Plural of the word Monotheism – Only one God worthy of the name Polytheism – many gods Atheism – no god Pantheism – everything is divine

Bereshit bara Elohim et hashamayim ve’et ha’arets et hashamayim ve’et ha’arets translates heavens and earth Does not refer to where God is, nor our planet Refers to universe.

Truths God exists. The essential first step in pleasing God is recognizing His existence (Heb 11:6). 2.God existed before there was a universe and will exist after the universe perishes (Heb 1:10-12). 3.God is the main character in the Bible. Subject of the first verb in the Bible Subject of more verbs than any other Performs a wider variety of activities than any other being in the Bible.

Truths Creator God has done what no human being could ever do In its active form the Hebrew verb bara', meaning "to create," never has a human subject. Thus bara' signifies a work that is uniquely God's. 5.God is mysterious The Hebrew word for God is plural Yet the verb form of which "God" is the subject is singular. This is perhaps a subtle allusion to God's Trinitarian nature: He is three divine persons in one divine essence.

Truths God is the Creator of the whole universe (heaven and earth) He doesn't just modify pre-existing matter but calls matter into being out of nothing (Ps 33:6,9; Heb 11:3). 7.God is not dependent on the universe, but the universe is totally dependent on God (Heb 1:3).

Genesis 1:1 Bereshit bara Elohim et hashamayim ve’et ha’arets In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 7 Hebrew words – 7 truths 1.God exists. 2.God existed before and will after the universe 3.God is the main character in the Bible. 4.God has done what no human being ever could 5.God is mysterious 6.God is the Creator of heaven and earth. 7.God is not dependent on the universe
