Creation

Not by "accident"...

In the beginning
The Elohim (God) created
the heavens
and the earth.

Genesis 1.1

The Elohim said,
“Let Us make
a human being
in Our image, 
with Our likeness.

Genesis 1.26

Do you ever talk about "creatures", or "creature comforts"?
Where does this concept come from?
We often speak of "creation"
when we refer to the natural realm,
the world in which we live,
and the stars that fill the skies,
the rivers, lakes, and oceans, etc. 

But there's a dichotomy, a split,
in many of discussions about these things.
We refer to creatures or to the creation,
yet many refuse to acknowledge there is a Creator.
How can you have a "creation" without a "creator"?
It's an "oxymoron" - it makes no sense.

Unfortunately, our educational systemhas taught us for decades to speak in terms of "evolution".This theory says we somehow "appeared" out of a few basic elements of nature.All life is, in effect, "an accident".Nothing caused it.It just “happened" - somehow.
And that makes you and every other aspect of this world virtually meaningless,
because it all “just happened by accident”
- there is
no purpose for your existence.

Yet when you study the complexities of DNA, RNA and the human genome,
then add the genomes and species of all the plants and animals on the earth,
there is profound evidence of a "design".
Things are "made" to work together in remarkable ways.
Any person who takes the time to
think about these things
understands these complexities could not possibly have "just happened"
from some primeval "brew" of a few chemicals.

Evolution denies the concept of a Creator
in favor of this "accidental" process.
But there is nothing that clearly and factually
supports the
"theory" of evolution.
 It is only a theory, not a proven fact.
 nd the materials used to support this proposed "theory"
simply provide no solid evidence to demonstrate it's validity
when they're examined carefully.
(If it's really true, why don't we call nature an "evolution"
rather than a "creation"?
And why don't we call animals and humans
"evolutes" instead of "creatures"?)

In contrast to this is The Scriptural view
that teaches there is a Creator, YAHWEH, The Elohim (God).
There's a great deal of solid evidence to indicate
there was and is a purposeful design to our "creation",
to the natural realm.
The earth is not our "mother"
.
You were not conceived or born by the earth.
You had a father and a mother.
And they had parents also.
But somewhere there was an "originator" - a Creator.

Consider this: If you're merely "an accident"
or a "chance happening"
how can there be any purpose or meaning to your life?
There is none.
So why continue to live?
What's the point of it all? 

Why are you here?
And how do you exist?
What "evolutionary process" caused you?
What "evolutionary process" sustains your life?
Does "Mother earth" feed and clothe you - by means of evolution?
How do your clothes or your house or your car
"evolve" to the stage you can use in them?
Is there no "designer" involved in these things.
Evolution
requires that there is no “designer".
Otherwise it is not evolution.

Without purposeful design (which implies a Designer)
there is no meaningful reason for our existence,
or for anything else that exists.
It's all just one huge "accident".
There is no real purpose for life,
no real future,
no real value,
no real meaning.
So what's the point of living?
What will "evolve" from you?
And what does it matter whether something "evolves" from you or not?
After you’re dead and gone who cares?

On the other hand, if there really is a Creator
Who designed you for a purpose
and placed you here in this world for a reason,
it should be possible for you to discover a real sense
of meaning and purpose for your life.
Under such a design you do have value.
You are important.

Specifically, you are important to the One
who designed you,
who created you.

The search for significance and meaning for our lives
is what motivates all of us - ultimately.
There's a void we each long to fill,
an emptiness that begs for a reason for our existence.
We're constantly looking for some understanding
of why we're here and what value is to be found for our lives.
When we fail to discover these things
life seems futile and frustrating - pointless even.
Despair is often the result.

The Word of YAHWEH provides insights into the creation,
and into the relevance of the creatures within it.
In presenting the verses that follow
one must recognize there are many, many more that could be included.
There are 1085 references to the idea "to make" something
(to create or produce) in Scripture.
There are 1406 references to something being "made".
Only a small sampling of these references is presented here for your consideration.

The preponderance of information
presents the idea of "creation" (to make something or produce something),
and denies the concept of evolution.
YAHWEH's Word plainly supports the view that there is a Creator,
and therefore there is a reason for our existence.

The questions become:
“How did you get here?“
Why are you here? 
Is there any purpose for your existence?
And if there is, what is it?

May you find within these Scriptures
some answers to your own questions
about why you're here and what value your life has.

In the first verses of Genesis we find the term "Elohim" used.
The term means mighty one, mightiest one, god, or gods.
It comes from a root that means
"deity". (See DEFINITIONS)
It's used to refer to the only Supreme Being (there can be only one),
that existed at the time of the Creation
- the beginning of the world as we know it.
No other "gods" were yet formed or thought of,
so the term could only refer to "The One True God".
His name is YAHWEH.

Elohim is a plural term.
It's a bit difficult for us to grasp the significance of this,
but typically it's understood to include
The Messiah,
YAHUSHUA, the Son of YAHWEH,
and
YAHWEH, The Father.
Throughout Scripture
YAHWEH is always viewed as the Supreme Being
Who has reigned over all things since the first steps of Creation.
YAHUSHUA is His “son".

It's vitally important that you understand that the Name, YAHWEH,
has been
intentionally removed from most English Bibles.
It's in the original Hebrew texts,
but it's not in most English “translations".
It's been replaced with terms like The LORD, Lord, Adonay, Ha Shem, etc.

This is an egregious error.We need to return to the use of His proper personal Nameto correct that error.

The name of The Messiah has also been altered.He is often called "Jesus”,
which comes from a Greek word.
His true Hebrew
name is YAHUSHUA.

because I regret that I have made them.”

between The Elohim and every living being, 
with all flesh which is upon the earth.”

John 1:1-3  In the beginning was the Word
and the Word was with

 and the Word was YAHWEH

thing created that was created.

Mark 10:6:  But from the beginning of the creation

Mark 13:19: Indeed those days will be trouble, truly,
of which sort there has not been
since the beginning of the creation which
YAHWEH created
until this time, and will never be again!

The following passage from Romans is very important:

Romans 1.18-32: Indeed, YAHWEH’s desire is revealed from The Heaven
upon all irreverence and injustice of human beings
who suppress the truth by means of injustice,
19 precisely because what may be well-known concerning
YAHWEH
 s apparent to them,
because
YAHWEH has made it apparent to them.
20 Indeed, since the original formation of the world
His invisible things are distinctly understood,
being recognized by the things that have been made,
even His eternal miraculous power and divinity,
so that they are legally indefensible,
21 precisely because having absolutely known
YAHWEH
they did not honor Him as YAHWEH,
nor expressed gratitude,
but on the contrary, became foolish in their considerations,
and their unintelligent heart became obscured.

22 Asserting they were wise,
they became fools
23 and changed the honor of the incorruptible
YAHWEH
into a likeness similar to a corruptible human being,
and birds and four-footed animals and reptiles.
24 For this cause
YAHWEH also surrendered them to impurity
through the longings of their own hearts,
dishonoring their own bodies amongst themselves;
25 who exchanged the truth of
YAHWEH
for the lie and worshiped and served the creature
rather than The Creator, Who is worthy of blessing for eternity. Amen.

26 Because of this
YAHWEH surrendered them to disgraceful passions.
Indeed, even their women exchanged the instinctive use
for the sake of that which is against nature.
27 Likewise also the males,
abandoning the natural function of the female,
burned in their longing for one another,
male with male committing what is an indecency,
and receiving in themselves the repayment for their fraudulence,
which was fitting.

28 And even as they did not approve holding
YAHWEH in their awareness,
 
YAHWEH surrendered  them to an unacceptable mind,
doing that which is not appropriate;
29-31 being filled with every injustice:
sexual immorality, 
depravity, avarice, maliciousness,
being filled with every spite, murder, contention,
deceit, evil-mindedness;
whisperers, slanderers, haters of
YAHWEH,
insulters, arrogant, braggarts, contrivers of evil,
disobedient to parents, undiscerning, untrustworthy,
without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful;
32 who, recognizing the justification of
YAHWEH,
that those who practice such things are deserving of death,
not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.

Galatians 6:15: Indeed, in The Messiah, YAHUSHUA,
neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything,
but instead, a new
creation.

Romans 8:18-22: Indeed, I consider that the difficulties of this present time
are not comparable to the honor which is going to be revealed unto us.
19 Indeed, the intense anticipation of the creation
eagerly waits for the revelation of the children of
YAHWEH.
20 Indeed, the creation was subjected to depravity,
not voluntarily,
but because of Him who has subjected it for the sake of hope,
21 because the creation itself will also be liberated
from the slavery to decay
into the magnificent freedom of the children of
YAHWEH.
22 Indeed, we understand that the whole creation
is groaning and suffering with birth pangs until now.

Hebrews 4:13:  And there is not one created thing
that is not visible in His presence.
Indeed, all things are naked and exposed
to the eyes
of Him of Whom we speak.

2 Corinthians 5:17:  Therefore if anyone is in The Messiah, he is a new creation.
The old has passed away.
Behold! Everything has become new!

Ephesians 2:10:  Indeed, we are His workmanship,
created in The Messiah,
YAHUSHUA, for good works,
which
YAHWEH prepared in advance
in order that we should walk in them.

Ephesians 3:9:  and to illuminate for everyone
what is the
partnership of the mystery,
which from eternity has been concealed by 
YAHWEH,
who created everything through
YAHUSHUA, The Messiah; 

Colossians 1:16:  because by Him
everything has been created,
that which is in the skies
and that which is upon the earth,
that capable of being seen,
and that not capable of being seen,
whether thrones or dominions or first in rank or authorities.
Everything has been created through Him and for His sake.

1 Timothy 4:4: because everything created by YAHWEH is good,
and not even one thing is to be rejected
when being received with thanksgiving.

James 1:18:  He was willing to bring us forth by The Word of Truth
to exist as a kind of first fruits of His created things.

Revelation 3:14:  And to the messenger of the Laodicean assembly write:
These things says The Amen,
The Faithful and Truthful Witness,
The Beginning of the creation of The Elohim:

Revelation 4:11:  “You are worthy, Master,
to receive praise and honor and power
because You created all things,
and by Your will they exist and have been created.”

Revelation 5:13:  And every creature which is in The Heaven,
and on the earth,
and under the earth,
and such as are upon the sea,
and all that are in it
I heard saying: “Blessing and honor and splendor and dominion
be to Him who sits on the throne,
and to The Lamb,
into the ages of eternity!”

Revelation 10:6:  and swore by Him Who lives into the ages of eternity,
Who created the sky and the things that are in it,
and the earth and the things that are in it,
and the sea and the things that are in it,
that time will no longer exist.

YAHWEH is The Creator - along with YAHUSHUA
(He was with The Father in the beginning.).
He created you for a purpose
- to believe in Him and to praise Him for eternity
- and also to be the recipient of His amazing love.
As Creator He has the right
to bring an end to creation as we understand it
and to create something entirely new and wonderful
for those who choose to believe in His love and redemption.
To deny that
YAHWEH is The Creator
is to deny yourself the privilege of spending eternity with Him.

You have a choice about what you believe.
You can believe you came into existence by accident,
from some primordial slime,
and that there is therefore absolutely no reason,
meaning, or purpose to your life.
Or you can believe there is a Creator
Who loves you deeply
and wants you to enjoy being in His presence for all eternity.
You can believe there really is a purpose for your existence. 

Don't be deceived by the traditions of the world.
Belief in evolution is foolishness.
There is a reason you were created and brought into existence.

YAHWEH's love for you is that reason.
Your purpose is to bring honor and praise to Him for all He has done for you.  

Recognize The Truth about your life.
Believe the lie no longer.
