Module I - 1st class - Universe Creation Process

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth (Gen 1:1)

The creation of all things, visible and invisible, has always been one of the most
intriguing figures in human history, and many renowned scientists such as
Newton, Copernicus, Einstein, and others always resorted to or accepted the fact that without
a great Creator would make it impossible for us to address the existence of the physical universe and
spiritual. Even today, when science defends with all its technology
for experiments, the "Higgs Boson", a particle smaller than an atom that would have given
origin to the Big Bang and that would give rise to all the matter in the Universe, the Lord was not
removed, because this particle is called "The God Particle."

life can be generated (Gen 1:21,24,25; John 1:1-4);

c) Isaac Newton believed, in the 17th century, that automotive vehicles would be invented and
they would be able to travel at 80km/h (In 2:4);

d) Galileo Galilei spread what was already common knowledge to the scientific community: the
The Earth is round (Isaiah 40:22);

The scientific community says that life was born in water (Gn 1:20,21).

According to Science, the Universe was created millions of years ago. In reality, no

 We have confirmation of this in the Word of God when Peter speaks in his epistle:
But beloved, do not forget this one thing, that a day to the Lord is like a thousand
years, and a thousand years as a day." (II Peter 3:8) God is outside of time, so our

chronological, but of which we have no knowledge.

The need for man to seek answers has led him to research and raise
hypothesis and theses about how we came to arise.

There are several theories about the creation of the Universe. If we conduct research about
Certainly, we will discover many other individual theories. However, the most...
known are: the Theory of Evolution, the Scientific Theory, and Creationism.

THEORY OF EVOLUTION – Theory formulated in 1859 by Charles Robert

Darwin (1809-1882) who says that nature makes a natural selection and that only the
but the strongest specimens survive, undergoing biological modifications to
better adaptation to the environment. In this way, man and several species of animals
would have arisen from the natural evolution of a certain animal (in this case of the
man, the monkey). Very widespread around the world and taught in our
schools, this theory claims that man is an evolution of the monkey. Such a thesis does not

scientists, however there are also many researchers who question it. Published
by George Gamow (1904-1968), Russian scientist naturalized as American, and by
Georges Lemaître (1894-1966), Belgian priest and astronomer, says that the universe would have
arisen after a great cosmic explosion, about 10/20 billion years ago
back.
CREATIONISM - It is the theory that says that man and everything that exists was created.
created by a superior being. This theory is accepted by various peoples and religions, The
Christianity believes that the Universe, animals, nature, and man were created.
by God according to the narration of the Holy Scriptures (Gen 1; Ps 90:2; Rom 1:20). A
Science goes against such a theory and still tries today to discover empirically (through
of facts) how the origin of man and the Universe occurred, excluding the
possibility of creationism.

What do the Scriptures tell us about God in the process of Creation?

God the Father participated in the entire process of creation as architect and sculptor.
1:1; Gen 1:26,27).
God-Spirit was also present throughout the entire process, but only acted
when the Word, the Word, was spoken. (Gen 1:2; Gen 1:26,27; Col 1:16,17)
God the Son is the very Word responsible for the execution of the creative work of
Father. (Genesis 1:3; John 1:1-3)

Activity of the Holy Spirit in creation

And the earth was without form and void; and there was darkness upon the face of the deep; and the Spirit of
God was moving over the surface of the waters.” Gn 1:2

The Holy Spirit was present at the creation. He found the Earth deformed and
empty. But in Isaiah 45:18 we see that God did nothing that is not perfect. Thus we can
believe that something happened to change the perfection created by God Himself. We read in the
Shedd Bible, which states that 'Some Bible scholars admit that the word 'era' should be
translated 'became', indicating the hypothesis that the original creation would have been
destroyed at the time of Satan's fall into sin. This would mean that creation
described in the following verses, refers to the present creation and not to the former creation
previous, from which it is possible to identify the evidence in fossils and history
geological." (SHEDD, 1997, p.2)

"setback, recalling Darwin's achievements becomes imperative."

Such a statement demonstrates how science reacts to belief without any empirical basis.
in the theory of the Word of God. For her, it is incomprehensible for a rational man to believe that
a Supreme Being (God) would have created everything that exists including man. It is easier
to believe that the Universe emerged from an explosion of cosmic particles (although
no one explains where they came from), or that man was shaped by the hands of
God in His image and likeness and who received divine breath and therefore has life. In I

BASIC LEVEL - MODULE I

Module I - 2nd CLASS - The Living Word

Having spoken at many times and in many ways to the fathers,

by the prophets, He has spoken to us in these last days by the Son, whom He appointed
heir of everything, for

"who also made the world." (Hb 1:1, 2)

The "word" is the characteristic means by which God makes His will known.

to man. The form can vary. It can be spoken through the prophets, written in the law and
other Scriptures, or lived in the person of Jesus Christ. It is also the means by which

world. (PFEIFFER et al., 2009, p. 1436)

In the Old Testament (OT), the word was "dabhar" (hb. rbfdf@ - pronounced "davar"),
occurs about 1440 times, meaning 'word, subject, something' (VINE et al.,
2007, p. 124). The term

word is used to indicate the direct speech of God to man (Gen 2:16, 17; 3:9-19; 12:1-
3; 26:1-5; 28:13-15; Ex 3-4; 20:1-19) and the speech through the prophets (Judges 6:8; II Samuel 7:5; I

we receive "Rhema", the revelation of God. Jesus Christ is the Word of God revealed.
We can confirm this fact in John 1:1, 14. Even though he spoke in parables, as stated.
In Sl 78:2, Jesus reveals himself to all who seek and serve him (Mt 13:34-43; Jo 5:39).

Jesus, the Living Word, revealed Himself as:

The Only Source of Life - John 5:24, 6:53, 6:68, 8:51, Revelation 21:6, 22:17. The Only Source of Light -
Mt 4:16, Jo 1:4, 8:12, 12:46.

The Absolute Truth - Mt 21:21, Jo 1:14, 1:17, 6:14, 8:31, 17:8, 17:17, 18:37.

The Only One who satisfies our hunger - Mt 4:4, Jo 6:53, Mc 14:22.

And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying: All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.
(Mt

28:18).

All power is in the hands of Jesus (Mt 11:27; Lc 10:22; Jo 13:3; 17:1, 2; At 2:36). A

It does not depend on man for anything. Everything that exists was made by Him (John 1:3).

"Rhema" only reaches us when we receive the Word in our lives. There is no other
shape.

Jesus is the Word and only through Him can we know the Father.

Jesus is the Truth and the Life (John 14:6). He cannot lie (Numbers 23:19).

Satan did this to the woman in Eden (Gen 3:1-6) and tried to do the same with Jesus in

Because of this, we must always be deepening our understanding of the Word of God.
The more
the more we know, the less chance we have of being deceived by vain doctrines (Mark 7:7;
Col 2:22; Heb 13:9). People who are deceived by such doctrines worship God in
vão (Mt 15:9; Is 29:13; Cl 2:18, 19, 22, 23; Tt 1:13-16).

It is only through the Truth that sets us free, the Living Word, Jesus Christ, that we can be

transformed. And it is this Word that must be taught so that lives may be freed.
Jesus is the Living Word who rescues us from darkness (Is 9:1, 2; 42:6, 7; Mt 4:14-16), from
curse of sin (Gal 3:13; Gal 8:2; 2 Cor 5:21), of diseases and sufferings (Isa 53:4;
Mt 8:17; I Pe 2:24), from religiosity (Mt 12:11-21; Mc 3:1-6) and the lack of
understanding (Mt 16:17; I Co 2:10).
