Bible Matters 482: God the Creator

God is the creator of all. 

Genesis 1:1-In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

God made everything beautiful in his time. 

Ecclesiastes 3:11 – He hath made everything beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.

Try as they may, but man cannot understand God’s work.  God is the supreme being.  Not as a man in the flesh, but as a Divine Authority.  God wants to be honored and worshipped not as a man nor as a creature in the flesh nor as the Father, but as one God the Creator.

Two hundred and ninety-nine times in the Bible, the words “father” and “God” are used in the same verse.   In the Old Testament, God and father are used together two hundred and twelve times.  The testimonies in the Old Testament typically spoke to their father’s house with the Lord being God or as God of their fathers.   Never as God the father.  God was just God. 

Genesis 28:21 – So that I come again to my father’s house in peace; then shall the LORD be my God:

2 Chronicles 36:15 – And the LORD God of their fathers sent to them by his messengers, rising up betimes, and sending; because he had compassion on his people, and on his dwelling place:

God has no gender, neither male or female.  God is the Almighty, the Creator of all. 

In the last or thirty-ninth book of the Old Testament, in the book of Malachi, the father of all is Abraham and God is the Creator.

Malachi 2:10 – Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us? why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, by profaning the covenant of our fathers?

On the other hand, “God” and “father” appear eighty-seven times together in verses in the New Testament.  Like as in the Old Testament, God was typically referred to as God of their father. 

God and father are used together seven times in the gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke.   Never as God the father.   Like as in Malachi, Abraham is their father.

Matthew 3:9 – And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.

Luke 3:8 – Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.

Acts 5:30 – The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree.

Of those eighty-seven occurrences of “God” and “father” appearing in the same verse, God being referred to as Father first appeared in the Gospel of John, with Father in capitals. No verse in the first three Gospels of Matthew, Mark or Luke, was God ever referred to as God the father.

John 1:18 – No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.

John 6:46 – Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father.

John, Paul, Peter and James used several verses where God is referred to as the Father.

Romans 1:7 – To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

1 Peter 1:3 – Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

Galatians 1:3 – Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,

1 Timothy 1:2 – Unto Timothy, my own son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.

2 Thessalonians 1:2 – Grace unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Paul never referred to God as the Father in Hebrews.  Only three times in Hebrews is God and father used together.    Never as God the Father.

Hebrews 1:1 – God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,

Hebrews 7:3 – Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually.

Hebrews 12:7 – If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?

Matthew referred to God as the Spirit

Matthew 12:28 – But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.

God is a spirit.  Through the Holy Ghost, God provided the “Y” chromosome which fertilized the egg provided by Mary.  With that chromosome, Jesus was the Son of God, as well as the son of Mary.  God referred to Jesus as his beloved Son. 

Matthew 3:17 – And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

Mark 1:1,11 – The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;  And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

Luke 3:22 – And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.

The testimonies are clear:

In two hundred and twelve verses of the Old Testament from eighteen different books (fourteen witnesses), God is the Creator, not male or female. 

Exodus 15:2 – The LORD is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father’s God, and I will exalt him.

In seventy-four verses from six witnesses of the New Testament, God is the Creator, not male or female. 

Acts 5:30 – The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree.

In only thirteen verses from four witness of the New Testament was God referred to as “God the Father” always in the context with the Son of man or Jesus Christ. It is no mystery that God created Jesus.  That is stated in the in the New Testament and confirmed by Ron Wyatt by the twenty-four chromosomes found in blood from the Ark of the Covenant.

Galatians 1:1 – Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;)

In one verse (one witness) God is referred to specifically as the Father of Jesus Christ.

Revelation 1:6 – And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

Using the preponderance of evidence standard, the truth is that God is neither male or female.  God is the Almighty and Creator of all.  God as the Creator, created Adam and Eve.  Because God provided the “Y” chromosome that fertilized Mary’s egg, he is called the Father of Jesus, the Son of God. 

God wants to be honored and worshipped not as a man nor creature in the flesh nor as the Father, but as one God the Creator. 

Romans 1:25 – Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

To God be the glory in all you do, Amen.
