The God Of The King James Bible Created The Universe And Earthly Life

To be honest I have looked at my opponents last debate on the soul and was very intimidated. My opponent clearly has a lot of intelligence as far as science goes while I do not, I assume he's older as well. However I decided to present this how I normally present my religion (the apostolic religion) to any other individual which will play in with how the god of the KJV created the universe and Earthly life in general. I respect my opponent greatly and am glad I get to debate this. I respect him even more for setting definitions that aren't abusive and that I agree with. I am very confused about something however which is why my opponent doubts the God mentioned in KGJ created the universe and earthly life unless he believes there is a bible more accurate then KJV or the bible is missing something or idk. The problem is I don't know what he wants me to say, what he knows already etc. so I will just present creation and different concepts as I know and see what he has to say. Or maybe its more a question how the universe was manifested idk. I also heard a theory that a comet filled with bacteria is the reason for water on Earth and so on. But I will not just speculate about why my opponent may doubt this I will not present my side. Clarification: You will see me use Jesus often in some places where God belongs simply because I am apostolic and we believe that Jesus is the name to use. That his name brings power. So I am used to using that name a lot and might use it in scriptures from the old testament before Jesus walked the earth by accident. Introduction to Genesis: Genesis spans more time than any other book in the bible. IN fact, it covers more years then all of the remaining 66 books of the bible put together (approximately 2,400 years) The total duration is from the time of creation to the time when the Israelites arrive in Egypt and grow into a nation (about 1800 BC.) So of course we will never be able to comprehend or even analyze the full process of creation however I will state what is known and talked about in the KJV bible. 1. Creation as stated in the KJV in Genesis Genesis 1:1-4 In the beginning God Created the heaven and the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And god said, let there be light; and there was light. Explanation: It's a misconception that God always resided in heaven but heaven was manifested along with earth. What God was doing before that? Who knows. In the end God is infinitely greater than we are; therefore, we should not expect to be able to fully understand everything about him. Next I would like to draw attention to the fact that god said let there be light and there was light. God didn't even need to manifest bodies to intrinsically hold the light or reflect it. There was just light, despite popular opinion the sun isn't being described in this scripture in fact the sun is mentioned in genesis verse 16 "And god made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. Many people would say this is irrational but as shown in John 11 and multiple other scriptures in the new testament Jesus is not rational at all and performs irrational actions. Thus what can be implied is that some concepts or events we will never fully understand such as the manifestation of the universe or the Earth but we learn what we can. Genesis 4: And god saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness 2. Proof that God created life on earth as well Isaiah 45:18 For this is what the LORD says-- he who created the heavens, he is God; he who fashioned and made the earth, he founded it; he did not create it to be empty, but formed it to be inhabited-- he says: "I am the LORD, and there is no other. Explination: The earth wasn't just randomly formed in fact God actually had a clear concept in mind when he made this object. He made the Earth to specifically hold life further proving that he made life but there are specific scriptures that actually show him creating life itself. Psalms 148:7 Praise the LORD from the earth, you great sea creatures and all ocean depths. This correlates with Genesis 1:21 And God Created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. Genesis 1:24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creep-ing thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so. Genesis 2:7 And the LORD formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. Introduction to Soul We create the conditions in which God's light is most likely to shine forth. But god gives the light. God allows creative energy to flow through us. FOr example lightning hardly ever shnes in a calm, unclouded sky. Often out of darkness lightning strikes. The soul is proof of us being manifested by God its sort of like a print that is marked on his humanly creations. A lot of people nowadays seem to be essentially defining soul as conscience which isn't correct. In fact neuroscience shows even an animal has a conscience, humans are not unique in possessing what they call neurological substrates that generate conscience. 2. Soul/holy ghost Genesis 2:7 Then the Lord God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature. Explanation: God breathed a soul into Adam when he was manifested but there are more scriptures that are more specific. I mentioned this scripture earlier as well. Mathew 22:37 And he said to him, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. Acts 7:59 And as they were stoning Stephen, he called out, "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit." Explanation: Some of you may know the story of Stephen. The man who was stoned but god allowed to feel no pain at all. IN fact he put him in a sort of sleep while he was dying after this request. But as you can see he request God to take his spirit. Everyone has a soul that must receive the holy ghost. My favorite verse to look towards regarding this is acts 2:38 a scripture a lot of religions ignore now. Then peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. I myself have repented and been baptized in Jesus name (a lot go with father, son, holyghost) (my religion believes you gave to say his name specifically) I am seeking the holy ghost. I have seen people receive it and speak in toques in a different language they have not learned. My brother himself received it and its an amazing gift. My mom was able to fight cancer on prayer alone. She didn't go to the doctor she decided she would pray and go to the planned trip we had to Cabo Mexico. She see's the doctor for the regular check up, of course they request to check for the cancer and no cancer is in sight. To this day no cancer has came back. My dad had muscle disease, he was supposed to be in a wheel chair at the age of 42 but he got his brothers who have this gift and they prayed with him, he's 49 now and walking just fine. 3. The alternative is hell Mathews 25 he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. Revelation 20: 14 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. Hell is a temporary location btw after the 1,000 year reign of the approved souls on Earth the people who were sent to hell will be transported with the beast and the false prophet to the lake of fire. revelations 21:8 states this But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars--their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death." In conclusion God created the earth and life. God also has the power to end the earth and life itslf. It's our job to become a light holder, to receive the holy ghost and use it to help other individuals. Corinthians 12 There are different kinds of gifts. But they are all given to believers by the same Spirit. There are different ways to serve. But they all come from the same Lord. There are different ways the Spirit works. But the same God is working in all these ways and in all people. I know some of this may seem off topic but it was just to introduce how the concept of the soul, life, and earth kind of in a sense work together. The god of choices In the bible god says he will have supreme control on heaven, let the devil and his demons maintain hell and humans mold and shape earth. God lets us have earth because he wants us to choose. He wants us to choose him in heaven but he offers us hell/sin as well. Pslams 116:56 The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD'S: but the earth hath he given to the children of men. Conclusion: God has the ability to do anything he made the earth,, he made heaven, and he made hell. God is the all supreme creator and the KJV bible in my opinion is the most reliable bible today in learning God. NO other bible out there is as accurate or precise as the KJV
