Is Pastor
Russell Right.
tinued from last week.

God had created the earth.
And God said, Let the earth bring forth
grass the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree
yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in
itself, upon the earth; and it was 80.
And the earth brought forth grass, and herb
yielding seed after his kind, and the fruit tree
yielding fruit whose seed was In ITSELF after
his kind and God saw that it was good.
Gen. l~11-la
Up to this time the earth was
without form and void and dark
ness was upon the face of the
deep,
Therefore the spirit of Goa
moved upon the face OF the
waters. =" (Gen. 1-1-22.)
Yes, the deep. the darkness,
the earth and the waters, We're
created and the earth was with
out form, because the waters
covered it and made it void, but
when the waters were gathered
from off and amongst the earth,
the dry land appeared in a form
ed body.
FORMATION, then, IS to form
something out of that which God
had CT Gated, as in the instance
of His forming the beasts of the
field. AS he says.
And out of the ground the Lord God formed
every beast of the field, and every fowl of the
air, and brought them unto Adam to see what
he would cali them: aud whatsoever Adam call =
ed every living creature, that was the name
thereof. Gen. 2,l9
The forming Of these beasts
are different from The ones
created, Please read.
And Cod made the beast OF the earth after
his kind and cattle after their Kind and every
thing that creepeth upon the earth after his
kind; and God saw that i, was good.
Gen, l-"5
| CREATION, then, is for God to
ispeak something into existance
out of nothing that is, by the
breath of His mouth. AS He
says,
BY the word Of the Lor, were the heavens
made; and all the host of them by the breath Of
bis mouth. ~
For he spake and it was DONE he commanded
and it stood fast Ps. $3.50
With those Bible facts before
US, we can plainly see; that
CREA9IO.S and FORMATION are
not the same. Hence, we say
that God did on the sixth day
create man, male and female
Then after he had rested one day
He formed man from the dust
of the ground, making two dis
. tinct and separate characters
This is the point that we shal.
es taolish by the Word as we
proceed. So please read.
And God said, Let us make man in our image
over the fish of sea and over the fowl OF the al
and over the cattle; and over the earth, ant
oyer every creeping thing that crocpeth upon
4 the earth. Gen. 1-2G
) Did God do this, Yes He did
Listen to His Word.
> So God created man in his own image in tn
? image of cod created he him: male and fcmsl
created he them. GEN l21
How did he do this? BY thu
breath of his mouth. As VIZ
have said. For in the language
above, He expresses His creative
power. But in speaking Of Hi:
work of FORMATION, He spak'
differently, as we shall find GU
as we pass on with our work
But to speak further upon Hi
l. work of CREATION. We shal
say that to create is for God t
speak into existance somethin,
from nothing by the breath o
His Mouth: this being the sub
!. stance of the word FORMATION.
II And the Lord God forme,
e man of the dust of the groun
and breathed into his nostrils tn
e breath of life ard Nah become
3 living soul. Gen -
n Dear reader, just notice tn
u contrast in the language used i
s. these different passages {
}. scripture The one He create
j. BY the breath of His mouth, tn
/ other He formed from the dust {
