Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created…

I will not debate the issues of creation. I should not have to debate creation or evolution. I see no conflict. Others do but it is not a point that should be up for debate. All you have to do is look at the definition of scientific theory to understand why.

A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world, based on a body of facts that have been repeatedly confirmed through observation and experiment. Such fact-supported theories are not “guesses” but reliable accounts of the real world.

Science examines the natural world. It is right there in the definition. Science cannot experiment on spiritual things. The observation of the spirit can only be performed by those of us who have been quickened, born again, given spiritual eyes and ears.

Man has every right and ability to believe and accept science. What man should not do is demand that science proves anything spiritual. The lie of the enemy is that science is superior to faith. Once again, science cannot destroy what is not contained within its realm, the natural world. The spiritual realm is beyond its reach.

To explain my opening sentence, allow me to paraphrase scripture; render unto science the things of science and render unto the spirit things of the spirit. I can and do believe both, but unlike others, I do not allow one to destroy the other.

Mark 4:11b Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God:

Only those of us who have been born again, of the spirit, have the required element of life to perform the grand spiritual experiments to uncover the mysteries of the Kingdom. Without the spirit we would be like a scientist without powerful microscopes, unable to make observations.

Genesis 3:1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

Another lie is that because God created Satan and Satan is evil, that God created evil, therefore God is evil. The truth of this matter is in God’s creation intention. Because God is love, He desired a creation to love. The nature of love is to share willingly. Love does not exist within creation without choice. If you cannot choose, you are inanimate, incapable of love.

What people do not realize within this argument is the first degree of sin nature. Sin nature will always look to blame others for their own choices. This is evidenced by the reaction of accusing in man’s first sin, as stated in Genesis 3:12 The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat. The first accusation is against God for creating the woman. The woman blamed the serpent, the devil made me do it.

Ultimately this all boils down to refusing to accept responsibility for the choices we make. Good choices result in blessings, bad choices result in curses. If there were not different results for choices, then there are no choices and all things would be equal. For that to be true, God would have to violate His attribute of being just.

According to Hebrews 6:18 it is impossible for God to lie. God spoke to Moses the warnings of choices, both blessings and curses. A warning is only a warning. If you do not heed the warning, do not blame God for the results. That would be like telling the traffic cop that you do not deserve that speeding ticket because it is the fault of the speed limit sign.
