Church Werx Gets It's BeginningIt is important to examine how God chose to introduce himself to the world through the written word.
Within
the first few sentences, God is immediately introduces as an artist, with the power to create.
From Genesis
1: "In the beginning of God's creating the skies and the earth, when the earth had been shapeless
and formless, and darkness was on the face of the deep, and God's spirit was hovering on the face of the water ... God said,
'Let there be light.'"
"[W]hen the earth had been shapeless and formless", to me, this
is clearly saying the earth was already "here", it was just shapeless and formless. No argument from the scientific
community that "in the beginning" the earth was "shapeless and formless".
This is the
direction Church Werx will be taking for a while, studying the Bible while practicing in the ancient art of, philology.
