The Invisible and The Visible are alike to GOD, for HE can see things as they are. In the book of John, chapter 1, verse 1, the bible says "In the begining was the word, and the word was with GOD, and the word was GOD. It goes on to say that ALL THINGS were made by HIM, that is the word that was in the begining with GOD, and is GOD. ALL THINGS, seen and unseen, were made by the invisible GOD! I'm going to say John 1:1 differently to bring to light what it says, but is easily skipped over. "Before time, was the invisible WORD, and the invisible WORD was with the invisible GOD, and the invisible WORD was GOD". To continue, one could say "ALL THINGS(visible and invisible)were made by the invisible HIM, and without the invisible HIM, was nothing made (visible or invisible)that was made". This is an awesome observation, because now one can see how it is a natural process for the invisible to become visible, after all, it was our invisible GOD that created this visible universe! Now you can begin to see how it's not a crazy thing to "walk by faith and NOT BY SIGHT!" The WORD tells us that FAITH COMES by HEARING! For example; let's say your a person consumed with lonliness. Then you hear the WORD that says "I will never leave you nor forsake you!" After a little while of messing with that WORD conception takes place! You are now pregnant with the truth that GOD will never leave you or forsake you! Next thing you know, the torture of lonliness disapates. There is a release from that bondage. Thank GOD, the WORD says, "you'll know the truth, and the truth will set you free!" In another place the word tells us "My people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge!" Our wonderful loving Father places before us life and death. LET'S CHOOSE LIFE!

Would you consider yourself a good person? Do you think you have kept the 10 commandments? All of them all of the time? Ever lied? Stolen? Hated (yup, Jesus says this is the same as murder)? On Judgment Day, if God judges you by the 10 commandments, will you be innocent or guilty? Do you think you will go to Heaven or Hell? If Heaven, why? are you sure? I Hell, does that concern you? Do you know what God did so you wouldn't have to go to Hell? Read these verses to explore God's Plan: 1) John 3:16-17, 2) I Peter 3:18, 3) Acts 26:20, 4) Revelation 3:20, 5) Romans 10:9-10. A few questions: 1) Are you a sinner? 2) Do you want to be forgiven? 3) Are you willing to change your life? 4) Do you believe Jesus died and rose again? 5) Are you ready to ask Jesus into your life? If you want to surrender your life to Jesus Christ and accept His Gift of Salvation from sin, now is the time. Pray to God. Here is an example prayer you can pray: "Heavenly Father, I'm a sinner. I ask forgiveness for my sins. I believe that Jesus died on the cross for me and rose again. I am ready to change and follow Jesus. I ask Jesus into my heart and into my life. I ask this in Jesus' name, Amen." A few questions for believers: 1) How many of your sins has Christ paid for? 1 John 2:2 (All of them), 2) How many sins does Christ remember? Hebrews 10:17 (None), 3) Where does Christ Live? Galatians 2:20 (Lives in me). Praise God and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Let His glorious plan interrupt your life! 1) Love God First (Matthew 22:37-38), 2) Love People Unconditionally (Matthew 22:39-40), 3) Go Make More (Matthew 28:18-20). Feed on God's Word, Pray, Go to Church and find believers to share life with, Go and share your faith and teach others to do the same.

God answered the evolutionist thousands of years ago with the first four words of the Bible. "IN THE BEGINNING GOD" Any more questions?

In one simple verse, we record the establishment of both space and time. We must also note that the Hebrew word Elohim is used here to refer to God. It is plural. Yet, the associated verb is singular. So, from the very first verse in the Bible, we have an allusion to the Trinity.
