What The Bible Says

Good Samaritan's Penny Pulpit by Pastor Ed Rice

The opening line of the Holy Bible has seven Hebrew words that mark the first day of the universe and it says, “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” Here time begins, three-dimensional space begins, and matter begins. They are necessarily created by a force outside of time, outside of 3-D space, and outside of matter; the self-existent one is called God. Modernist scholars know that eventually heaven becomes the heavens, so they set out to correct his first seven words by making heaven, the three dimensional space, be heavens, the three layers of the heavens yet to be created. For the sake of a copyright they ignore God's warnings about changing his words. Shame on every copyright one of them. When atheistic evolutionists proved rocks were a million years old, accommodating Bible students inserted a million years of time after God's first seven words. These gaptist then invented a whole civilization created and destroyed in the imagined gap after God's seven word opening. Fiction writers! Roman allegorists decided a day wasn't a day and developed a profound allegorical teaching where “evening and morning” really meant millions of years. Only a remnant, holding to the inerrancy of verbally inspired Scriptures, believe what God said in his opening ten sentences. Written on a 5^th grade reading level, God said matter was at first without form and void, and that 3D space had darkness on the face of the deep. He ordered matter into atoms and then molecules of H₂O, and he pierced the darkness with light. God says what he means and means what he says. Here he describes what he considers a days work and ends it with nothing but water and light. Trust God's word, don't trust modern scholars.
