6 billion people, 6 billion right interpretations of the Bible?

God has declared by His Word [B]how He created the Heavens (i.e. space, atmosphere) and the earth: by His word.

As far as mechanics here is how God did it:

Hebrews 11:3
By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.

Psalm 33:6
By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, And all the host of them by the breath of His mouth.

God speaks and things "be" "exist" or "come into being." That explains why there are no transitional fossil forms. All life came into being suddenly or instantaneously through God's Word.

More examples of God speaking things into existence:

Genesis 1:3
Then God [B]said,“Let there be light”; and there was light.

Genesis 1:6
Then God said, “Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.”

Genesis 1:9
Then God said, "Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear”; and it was so.

Genesis 1:11
Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb that yields seed, and the fruit tree that yields fruit according to its kind, whose seed is in itself, on the earth”; and it was so.

Genesis 1:14
Then God said, “Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years;

Genesis 1:20
Then God said, “Let the waters abound with an abundance of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the face of the firmament of the heavens.”

Genesis 1:24
Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth the living creature according to its kind: cattle and creeping thing and beast of the earth, each according to its kind”; and it was so. [/b]

So the assumption that God did not reveal how He created the Heavens and the Earth is a false assumption. God created the Heavens and the Earth through His Word. [/B]

Just start with the first one, at the top, and move down to the bottom. Also, go from left to right. 😉 😂

The word "word" in Hebrews 11:3 is the Greek word "rhema." It means:

1) that which is or has been uttered by the living voice, thing spoken, word

a) any sound produced by the voice and having definite meaning

b) speech, discourse

1) what one has said

c) a series of words joined together into a sentence (a declaration of one's mind made in words)

1) an utterance

2) a saying of any sort as a message, a narrative

a) concerning some occurrence

2) subject matter of speech, thing spoken of

a) so far forth as it is a matter of narration

b) so far as it is a matter of command

c) a matter of dispute, case at law

And why could that not be what we call the Big Bang and Evolution?

I do not have the time at this point to go off on another discussion. I am attempting to answer the first question. You call it to-MA-toe I say tomatoe. You call it dodging I call it not digressing.

The Theory of Evolution and The Big Bang Theory both have certain parameters and characteristics that do not agree with the creating model that is revealed in the Bible.

JIA, Do you understand what makes sound? You need to have air, or you cannot speak. Therefore, "the word" must be a metaphor.

JIA...

Perfect example of "interpretation" dilemma...

"God created the Heavens and the Earth" according to the bible, that isn't in question; does it say exactly how though? Would it stand to reason that it could either be the "poof there it is" as you believe, "Big bang" or maybe something else unimagined?

When you assume it was "poof" as instantaneous, you're interpreting it your own way as far as "time" is concerned.

The word means that God spoke a word, a literal word.

If it's a literal word, then god is a hypocrit and a liar.

Did God have a physical body before he created the universe?

You have nothing but your belief to base that on. You could be wrong, after all, you are human.

Why would it be unreasonable for god to make things simple for us humans, and not go into detail?

JiA! how have you been.

Say, just wondering, we've been getting some news about Fred Phelps' religious gang lately, and I was just wondering how you feel about that.
Don't have to tell you I'm sure, but these are some serious zealots, cursing Kevin Smith to hell for his oncoming movie about Reverend Phelps. And it seems they're also justifying the deaths in the Virginia Tech murders, since mankind abandoned the way of the lord, etc etc.
Your thoughts please, as a perhaps better example of a servant of god?

With regard to evolution, this part that I wrote on page three of the thread entitled, "Can you handle the Truth?"

The underlying principle of the theory of evolution states that all life (specifically all human and animal organisms) descended from a previous life form, all of which have a common ancestor. These life forms originally began as a primitive, single-celled amoeba and then evolved over billions of years into human beings (the higher, complex life form) due to natural selection.

Relative to the Theory of the Big Bang (as postulated by scientists and educators), this part that I wrote on page eight of the thread entitled, "Can you handle the Truth?"
:

What is the cause of the Big Bang? There must be a reason or cause for why the Big Bang purportedly occurred. Besides, the Big Bang defies and contradicts another law: Newton's Laws of Motion motion. You claim that matter can neither be created nor destroyed (one of the Laws of Thermodynamics) then what caused this aggregate matter to explode? This clearly violates the the Laws of Motion--as well as the Laws of Cause and Effect.

The Big Bang suggests that disorder produced order. That is not the way that God operates. God creates all things orderly and complete even in Adam and Eve's case (although Eve was created from Adam's rib, she was created complete).
