The Creator
There is but one God and He is the only Creator of our existence and the world He gave for us to live in, and it takes only to read God’s word to determine whom the Creator of the heavens and the earth must be. For most of us, the task of naming the Creator would seem to be an effortless task, since most everyone already has a clear opinion of the answer. Consider these verses taken form the Hebrew text, "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." (Genesis 1:1), "These are the births of the heavens and the earth when they were created in the day that Jehovah was making earth and heavens." (Genesis 2:4). This second verse declares a name for the one Creator, "Jehovah" (the most accepted English translation of the Tetragrammaton), and to confirm this, "For in six days Jehovah made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all which is in them, and He rested on the seventh day; on account of this Jehovah blessed the seventh day and sanctified it." (Exodus 20:11). This verse is from the second part of the fourth Commandment, and again, God's personal name is given. As always, I use the Interlinear Bible that contains the Hebrew and the Greek text to insure that the wording is as close to the original as possible. I always seek to find what is consistent throughout the Bible, the Old and the New Testaments. I've added a list of a few verses from the Old Testament, all from the JP Green Interlinear Bible:
Exodus 31:17 "For it is a sign forever between Me and the sons of Israel;
for in six days Jehovah made the heavens and the earth and on the
seventh He rested..."
II Kings19:15 "...O Jehovah, the God of Israel, who sits above the
cherubs. You are God Himself, You alone... You have made the
heavens and the earth."
II Chronicles 2:12 "And Hiram said, Blessed be Jehovah, the God
of Israel, who made the heavens and earth..."
Job 38,39:All "And Jehovah answered Job and said, Where were
you when I laid the foundations of the earth..."
Psalm 95:5,6 "The sea is His, and He made it, and His hands formed
the dry land. O come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel
before Jehovah our Maker."
Psalm 104:24 "O Jehovah, how many are Your works! You have
made all of them in wisdom; the earth is full of Your riches."
Psalm 115:15 ”You are blessed to Jehovah, who makes heavens and
earth."
Psalm 121:2 "My help comes from Jehovah, the Maker of the
heavens and the earth."
Psalm 135:6 "Everything which Jehovah was pleased to do, He
did, in the heaven and in the earth; in the seas and all the deep
places."
Proverbs 3:19 "Jehovah founded the earth by wisdom; He founded
the heavens by understanding."
Proverbs 30:4"Who has gone up to Heaven and come down? Who
has gathered the wind in His fist? Who has bound the waters in
His garments? Who has made all the end of the earth to rise?
What is His name? And what is His Son's name?..."
Isaiah 17:7 "In that day, man shall gaze at His Maker; and his eyes
shall look to the holy One of Israel."
Isaiah 40:28 "...Jehovah, the everlasting God, the Creator of the
ends of the earth..."
Isaiah 41:4 "Who has planned and done it, calling forth the
generation from the beginning? I Jehovah am the first and the
last; I am He."
Isaiah 42:5 "So says Jehovah, creating the heavens and stretching
them out; spreading out the earth and its offspring, giving
breath to the people on it, and spirit to those walking in it."
Isaiah 44:24 "So says Jehovah, your Redeemer and Former from
the womb; I am Jehovah who makes all things; stretching
out the heavens I alone, spreading out the earth. Who was
with Me."
Isaiah 66:2 "And My hand made all these things, even all these
things exist, declares Jehovah. But I will look toward this one,
to the afflicted, and the contrite of spirit..."
Jeremiah 31:35 "So says Jehovah, who gave the sun for a light
by day, the laws of the moon and the stars for the light by
night... Jehovah of host is His name."
Jeremiah 32:17 "Ah Jehovah! You have made the heavens and
the earth by Your great power and Your outstretched arm,
not anything is too difficult for You."
There are many more similar verses from the Old Testament and this is easily
proven from an Interlinear Bible containing the Hebrew text, but we haven't looked
at the New Testament yet and this is necessary. Jesus helps us understand, "But Jesus
answered them, My Father works until now, and I work." (John 5:17). After some of
the apostles were threatened and let go by the authorities, they returned and explained
to the others, "And hear, they with one passion lifted up their voice to God and
said, Master, You are the God who made the heavens and the earth and the sea, and
all the things in them." (Acts 4:24). The writer of Acts 4:24, was quoting the second
half of the Jehovah’s Fourth Commandment, which, in the Hebrew text uses God's name
"Jehovah". And Jehovah alone is the one God, "Exalt Jehovah our God and worship at
His holy hill; for Jehovah our God is holy." (Psalm 99:9), and this is clearly stated
by Jesus, "...I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and My God and your God."
(John 20:17). There are others called god in the Bible, "And he shall speak for you
to the people. And it shall be, he shall be a mouth for you, and you shall be a god
for him." (Exodus 4:16 speaking of Moses), and some men called Paul a god, "And seeing
what Paul did, the crowd lifted up their voice in Lycaonian, saying, The gods have
come down to us, becoming like men." (Acts 14:11) and he responded, "and saying,
men why do you do these things? We are men of like feelings to you, preaching the
gospel to you to turn you from these vanities to the living God, who made the heavens
an the earth and the sea and all the things in them." (Acts 14:15). In Revelation,
an angel out of Heaven said, "saying with a great voice, Fear God and give glory
to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come; also worship Him who has made the
heavens and the earth and the sea and the fountains of waters." (Revelation 14:7),
again quoting the second part of the fourth commandment. "For He entered into His
rest, He Himself also rested from His works as God has done from His own" (Hebrews
4:10), and consider, "I charge you before God, He making all things alive, and Jesus
Christ, He, witnessing the good confession to Pontius Pilate." (I Timothy 6:13).
Not only does the Son of God lists His Father's creations in Proverbs 8:25-
I cannot explain why most of the general Christian community credits Jesus, the
Son of God, the Word of God as the hands-
We now need to search John 1:3, "All things came into being through Him and
without Him not even one thing came into being that has come into being." to find
what will make this verse consistent with the rest of God's word, knowing that the
"Word of God", Jesus, was the inspirer and author of the Bible, and being the only-
Returning back to searching John 1:3, "Through" (#1223) is the word in question,
"dia" is the Greek word and has a multitude of possible English words, starting with:
the channeling of an act; through, after, always, among, at, to avoid, because of,
briefly, by, for (cause)... fore, from, in, by occasion of, of, by reason of, for
sake, that, therefore, x through, through (-
The other general Christian opinion is that God, the Creator, is a triune God, taught throughout Christendom, but according to the verses provided here, can you see a triune God? A triune God is not anywhere in the original Greek or Hebrew text that I've read, but this is a major controversial topic in itself. The topic here is the Creator and His name is "Jehovah", the Almighty living God and Father, as it is stated, "And Jehovah God formed man out of dust from the ground, and blew into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul." (Genesis 2:7). The Father, Jehovah created us and we should give to Jehovah the credit and glory He justly deserves, "Who has planned and done it, called forth the generations from the beginning? I Jehovah am the first and the last; I am He" (Isaiah 41:4). I want to add just one more, but it is very important that you do your own research, "It is He who builds His staircase in the heavens, and He who formed His firmament on the earth; He who calls for the seawaters and pours them out on the face of the earth, Jehovah is His name" (Amos 9:6). No positive assessment can be determined in the New Testament, because "Jehovah", God's name, or a Greek translation of His name has been eliminated from the New Testament without any expressed authority from either deity, Jehovah or His Son, Jesus. After reading over a hundred verses, New and Old Testament verses stating God to be "one" and not ever one stating God to be three or three in one, against a multitude of verses stating "Jehovah" God as the one and only Creator, I stand securely on this solid rock.
