Attempt to imagine the very beginning. Not just before you were born. But before earth, galaxies, stars, or before waters existed. Before the dark was split by Light. Before language was spoken, or a word, or a single sound. Note how try as you might, your mind slips into an impossible blank void. All that we can imagine — can only envision  is a thought that thunk after the very beginning. A belief has been long promoted that before God created anything, He was alone, by Himself, and perfectly self-existing. That God got lonely, and as the Alpha and the Omega, He decided eternity was empty without companionship. So God decided to create a fully grown man named Adam, able to think and speak immediately out of clay. Was it truly out of boredom, that God made a universe to place a single man? That the Almighty God fashioned a light bearing being, in His own image, just to have someone to talk to?

Context is important as we read the Bibke, and so is order. Alas, in the very beginning, there were 3 persons present. The person of the Holy Spirit was also there hovering with God and the Word. The Spirit of God was there flying over the deep. So now picture the Father who spoke, and His Son, the Word, with the Holy Spirit, together creating. The glue, the substance that holds all 3 in unity is LOVE. With zero competition, One God in three persons operated to create. The first words of the God breathed Holy Bible, are; “In the beginning, God created.”  The first Adam was created after God created the galaxies. Years later, the cousin of Jesus was used to write, “In the beginning was the Word. And the Word was with God. And the Word was God ” John 1:1  What we are being told by God is that before the beginning, the Word was with Him, and that the Word co-existed in the beginning. By His own Word, God Almighty was not alone, the Word was with Him. The Word was not separate from God, but that the Word was God. Two persons and One being, the Alpha and the Omega. The Bible begins and ends with the Truth. If we question God, He gives us His Word as His only, final answer.

We walk by faith and believe every Word of God, or we entertain simple commentaries written by those who grasp to fully understand the Word God declared as Truth. The body of Christ has divided itself because the word trinity is not in the Bible. BUT GOD, had His breath write His Word just as He did. That we would ponder every precise sentence and agree with Him. The Father spoke, the Son expressed Himself as the Light, that the Father said was good, BEFORE anything else was created. The Spirit carries out the speech to fulfillment. What existed before time and space? God Almighty, and He was never alone. God said to the Son, let’s create, let us make a new life. The Spirit danced in delight to carry out the LIGHT of love. Genesis 1:26 Then God said, “Let US make mankind in OUR image, in OUR likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” The US of God made it all for His pleasure.

2 Timothy 3:16-17 “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.” 1st and 2nd Chronicles give us the genealogies after Adam, to include Obed who kept the Ark of the Covenant. Boaz who married Ruth the Moabite. We also read about the incest with Tamar, and that king David had 19 sons who each preferred their own ways to God’s written law. The ongoing lack of faith documented in the Bible never dilutes the frequent dishonorable acts by selfish disobedience. Surely, out of pride, if the Bible was written by man, the brutal errors of mankind would have been written to exalt all the characters of the Bible. As it was written by God’s breath through His chosen, often uneducated men, the truth allows us to see our need for a Savior.
