He made the things we can see and the things we can't see— such as thrones, kingdoms, rulers, and authorities in the unseen world. Everything was created through him and for him." |

Also remember that the Bible is actually a collection of smaller books or epistles. In tracing the origin of the Bible, one is led to AD 325, when Constantine the Great called the First Council of Nicaea, composed of 300 religious leaders. Three hundred years after Jesus lived, this council was given the task of separating divinely inspired writings from those of questionable origin. The actual compilation of the Bible was an incredibly complicated project that involved churchmen of many varying beliefs, in an atmosphere of dissension, jealousy, intolerance, persecution and bigotry. At this time, the question of the divinity of Jesus had split the church into two factions. Constantine offered to make the little-known Christian sect the official state religion if the Christians would settle their differences. Apparently, he didn't particularly care what they believed in as long as they agreed upon a belief. By compiling a book of sacred writings, Constantine thought that the book would give authority to the new church the question was: Who wrote the Book of Genesis. The answer is No one know who the author of Genesis was. In fact most of the books of the Bible were written by unknown authors. There are only a very few excepts. What we call Identity thief today was extremely popular during the times that the Bible books were written. It was very common for people to copy others people work and claim authorship for it.

Quoting: all_the_kings_horses 619119What caught my eye on this thread is something a good friend through God said to me when I was searching for truth. It went something like this: Pick up that Bible. Turn to Genesis 1:1 and read what it says... (I read and pear up at him) If that is false, you can throw the entire set of books away. Yes, it may have some historical value, but as per it's promise it would then be useless. If that is true however, then WOW, you have in front of you the most important set of words ever published. You have an instruction book. I in-turn spent a few years studying the Bible (still am of course) but during that time I was sure I could prove my various teachers and study mates wrong... Tried and tried, but the fact is, when you study with an open heart and true desire to understand the truths within the Holy Scriptures, it is not possible (without a reasonable doubt) to prove this masterpiece wrong. In other words, the Word is vital to you and I. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 855714 United States 01/19/2010 08:07 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The book of Genesis was written by Moses, as was all of the Torah (Genesis being the first book thereof. Moses, considered to be the greaest prophet next to the Saviour, uttered his first prophetic words in what the Catholic Vulgate and all all succeeding tranlations have intentionaly mistranslated for the verse reads: The Earth Became Without Form, and VoidHe Did Not Create a Chaos Strong's Exhaustive Concordance: Hebrew and Chaldee Dictionary: "1961. hayah ... to exist, i.e. be or become, come to pass." "8414. tohuw ... to lie waste; a desolation (of surface)." Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2 And the earth was [or became — see Gen. 2:7; Strong's: hayah] without form [Strong's: tohuw], and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. [Genesis 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became [Strong's: hayah] a living soul.] Isaiah 45:18 For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain [Strong's: tohuw] [RSV: he did not create a chaos], he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else. DECLARING THE END FROM THE BEGINNING, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure: Isaiah zero is not the between the darkness and the light - this is an abomination of the catholic church, the modern day 'king of tyre' which changed the numeric laws of God which began with one - zero is a 'place holder' and denotes 'emptiness' - the nihilistic basis for Catholicism, Isalm, and all Oriental 'religion' - it is also the basisi for civilization and because of this evil, the eawrth will become without form and void - it is not Moses'remembereing' the way the earth was - that is a diversionary tactic from God's' command to His people two thousand years later, to remember their Creator....this is not for a command for the Jews only, but all of God's people for the command is found again in Revelation 14. God sealed the order of creation before He even created it, the order of days was established 'from the beginning' - this included the day He rested and commands all of His Creation to rest from their work also - this day is Saturday, as evidenced by the unbroken cycle of the Jews...this day was changed on the calendar by the catholic church and is the agenda of CERN for if the order of the ordinances of the evenings and mornings can be broken, then there will be no more of the bloodline of David to site on the throne of God's government which is based on mercy - Thus saith the LORD; If ye can break my covenant of the day, and my covenant of the night, and that there should not be day and night in their season; Then may also my covenant be broken with David my servant, that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne; and with the Levites the priests, my ministers. Jeremiah History and the the events to come shortly will prove that the inquisitional torture and evil of the catholic church disqualifies them as 'God on earth' for God sent His Son and then the Holy Spirit to witness of His light - the roman church et al witness of the solar light as do all the GER mens - Greek, Egyptian, and Roman idols...this is what this text is referring to: I have even from the BEGINNING declared it to thee; before it came to pass I shewed it thee: lest thou shouldest say, Mine idol hath done them, and my graven image, and my molten image, hath commanded them. Isaiah The destruction of the earth by the papacy and her harlot daughters is the the ending which has been declared from the beginning - it is not a thing from the past - this flow of Divine wisdom has been withheld from mankind for millenia, and countless souls have died beleiving that the spirit of the anti Christ was the Holy Spirit - it is no different today |
