Hebrews 11: 3 Commentary

Here’s the difference between religious knowledge and true knowledge:

You travel around much of the southern and interior USA and you find most people swearing by the “truth” of the Bible. Fly to Japan and you’ll find that religious “truth” is totally different over there. China: different yet. Thailand and Myanmar: the “truth” is with the sacred Buddha. India: well, of course, only the Vedas can tell you the “truth”. Arabia: here the “truth” is that if you mention Muhammad’s name in vain you are going to hell (and they send you there quickly by stoning you). Northern Europe: well, hardly anybody cares over there. So the “truth” varies. How can the truth vary? Because it’s not the real truth. Religious “truth” is LOCAL; real truth cannot be local. The real truth has to be the same for everybody.

Now take another tour of the world and this time visit with the educated people. Now you will find out that a qualified Physics instructor in Mongolia teaches exactly the same Physics principles that they teach in Chile. A geology student in China learns the same things that a geology student in Fiji learns. The stars that Australians know about are the same stars that Russian students study. Now we have universal truth. Now we have real truth.

If the stars are the same worldwide and universe-wide, then whoever created them must also be worldwide and universe-wide. We can’t have a Jewish god creating China any more than we can have an oriental god creating Israel or the United States! There is no such thing as a Jewish god, or a Krishna, or an Allah who takes care of “HIS” people. Local religions dupe poor and uneducated people into false hopes. There can be only ONE universal God.

Praise be to (the REAL) God.

GOD’S WORD IS TRUTH & THROUGH IT HE FRAMED THE WORLDS v.s. FALSE CLAIMS & LIES

And God wants everyone to frame their acts, their thoughts and talks through it. Let these things be filtered and cleanse by His Word …then we shall be sanctified.

Hebrew 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God

John 15:3 Now you are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.

John 17:17 Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth.

If our words transgress the borders set by the Word of God, then our words are false.It is said “”False words are not only evil in themselves, but they infect the soul with evil.False words, false claims, lies are the those that always comes out from the mouth of the evil one…he has no delight in the Word of Truth so that he spends his energy as an ADVERSARY of the Word! This is he” that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming(2 Thessalonians. 2:8).

False claims of being truly educated maybe made, but if one stinks in one character, and if the words coming from one that claim such things are false and proud-his education is also false.True Education is the advancing and gradual discovery of how ignorant we are that we become pliable and begin to conform to the Words of Jesus Christ!

A thorough knowledge of the Bible is worth more than a college education-Theodore Roosevelt, (1858-1919) 26th US President.

Man’s going forward from cocksure ignorance to thoughtful uncertainty.
Kenneth G. Johnson (1922-2002) American educator, semanticist.

I disagree with post#3! The poster have no proofs of the numbers of years it took to create them! It is a wild claim!

The world was created 4.4 or 4.5 BILLION years ago. Our star (the sun) 600,000,000 years BEFORE that. Many other stars up to 14,000,000,000 years ago. That’s when the creation of the unvierse began: 14,000,000,000 years ago. It’s possible ther are other universes, perhaps older than ours. That’s how great the creator - the REAL creator - is!

THE UNIVERSE AND THE WORLDS WERE MADE THROUGH GOD’S WORD…we understand this or will understand this by FAITH! For even when we ride upon the “FLYING CHARIOTS” we may not understand how or why it can fly, but through experience we begin to know and understand that indeed it can fly and take us to where we want to go. It is also the same with the Holy Bible…it is a vehicle for us, a tool that through faith can bring us to the Wonderful World of Tomorrow which God who cannot lie had promised! So keep the Faith!

1)The God of the Bible is transcendent.He existed apart from the material universe.He is independent.He is self-sufficient.He is eternal.He has no beginning & no end.
2)Matter is not eternal.All things did not come into existence by accident or by chance.
3)It is God who created everything by Himself without the assistance of anybody.The opening verse of the Bible states,”In the beginning God created the heaven & the earth.”It is a simple statement.It is a revelation from God.It is a clear statement also.Read Neh.9:6;Ps.102:25;Is.42:5;44:24;48:13;
Amos 5:8;Heb.1:10.
4)The universe came into existence at the command of the Lord.Read Ps.33:6,
9.Genesis chapter 1 describes the acts of creation as revealed to Moses by God.
Gen.1:3.”Let there be light…”
Gen.1:6.”Let there be a firmament…”
Gen.1:9.”Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together…”
Gen.1:9.”Let the land appear…”
Gen.1:11″Let the earth bring forth grass……..”
Gen.1:14.”Let there be lights in the firmament of heaven….”
Gen.1:20″Let the waters bring forth abundantly……”
Gen.1:24.”Let the earth bring forth the living creatures…”
