| Where was God before creation? Or where did God come from? |
When we as humans try to answer spiritual answers we will always fall short. God exists in a spritual realm that we cannot see or understand. God gave us clues to what is different in this realm. This realm is for an eternity. Which means it has no end. But, does it have a begining? God said: I am the Alpha (begining) and the Omega (end) of everything. Which means he has always been there. God leaves in a spiritual realm called eternity. In this realm, time has no meaning as we know it. This is also the reason that things on this earth test older than what they are. God was showing His awesome power by leaving evidence that time has no control over Him. In which we should be using this to glorify God. But instead, un Godly people found this first and decided to use it against God. So now it is believed that the earth is 4.5 billion years old, when God never intended this to be used this way. If you were an enteral creator and wanted to show that time did not control you, how could you show it in your creation? Leave some really old looking stuff laying around. Back to Top |

| Was there time before creation? |
No. Time was created by God for our purpose to have life. God is eternal so He needs not of time as we see it. This is why each day in creation has a number begining with the first day. First day means first time(24 hours). Back to Top |

| Why does science, through the evolution theory, say that the earth is over 4 billion years old? |
Science can only rely on what they can see or the evidence they find. They cannot test for God, nor can they test eternity (the realm God lives in). So as for what God has done they cannot test for sure. But they are willing to comment that it took 4.5 billion years and not six days. Funny that they would claim this when the other is not testable. To comment on something that is not testable, and act as you know for sure, is not scientific. It's like saying the sky is blue when your blind. Back to Top |

| What about the 4 billion year old evidence? |
Because God lives in the realm of eternity, time is not factor. In other words, God did not need as much time as science says. God created all that was needed in 6 days and rested on the 7th day. Also, if God needs something in his creation that takes several years (our time) to form, He is not limited by time, to have to wait on time, to get what was needed for His creation. In other words, if an element that takes 4 million years (our time) to form, God can create it right then. And because normally it would look old (in our time), we judge it as we see it with out factoring in the equation of God, and 4 billion years is what we get instead of six days. Back to Top |

| So is dating methods that science uses wrong? |
Not when science is testing for what is physical evidence. The reason some things look old is becuase God, in his 6 day creation, used the elements needed to design the earth. Really, this evidence should show God's awesome power to create by whatever means neccesary. Things that in our time, would take millions or billions of years to form He did it in an instant. But instead science looks upon this as their evidence there is no God and never was. God made things look old as a testiment to his power to create and His power over time itself. Back to Top |

| Is not God lying to us by leaving this old evidence laying around? |
No, we are lying to ourselves buy taking God out of the picture. What do we expect to find when God is not factored in? If we do not factor God into our lives, as children of God, where would be the evidence for God be in our lives? So when we search for origins of life with out God, what do we find? Life with out God. Unless God is factored in, we will not find Him in anything we do. You can only see or find God if your looking for Him. Science has not found God because they have really never look for Him. Back to Top |

| What about all the evidences for evolution? |
| NOUN: | 1. A thing or things helpful in forming a conclusion or judgment: The broken window was evidence that a burglary had taken place. Scientists weigh the evidence for and against a hypothesis. Evidence is just that, evidence. Until something becomes a proven fact or absolute truth, the evidence just supports whatever conclusion a person has derived from what he sees, or has found. Example 1: I found a Bible. Will science accept the bible as evidence for creation? Example 2: Scientists find some bones that look like they support evolution. Does science now say: evolution has now been proven? Here we can see that there is a bias in what evidence will be accepted, and what won't. So how can you ever look for real truth if you only are looking in one direction?

| Why should God's word be taken as literal in meaning? |
Does God lie? Can God lie? There are many stories (books and websites) about God's word being lost, mistranslated, books being lost or omitted etc... These are just opinions of those who wrote books to make money and discredit God. They claim to have this true evidence about this, but when it is research to it's fullest, it everytime, turns out to be either a view of another person. Or something that was thought up and presented as documented proof. All in all, you have to make the decision whether you would rather believe in the opinions of man or the opinions of God. For it was the Son of God that died on the cross for us. No man can claim this. God's power is in the truthfulness of His word. This is why it is being attacked so much for being literal truth. To deny it's truth is to deny God's existence. Both Christians and non-Christians attak God's word being literal truth. It is a thing that even God's word said would come. Right will seem wrong, and wrong will seem right. And for those who deny the power of God for denying the truth of His word: For those who deny the power of God, from such get away. Everyone wants to claim that they have the truth of God. It is time we go back to the basics of God and take Him at his word. Back to Top |

| So why does God's word have to be literally and completely true? |
Again, Does God lie? God cannot lie, even in His word. Though we may have a tough time understanding God's word, it is the only known recorded history of how everything came to be. And how everything will end. It is also the only known book that has predicted the future that most of it has already come to pass. No other book can claim such accuracy in it's future predictions. If no man can write a book that predicts the future like this one, what does that tell you? The bible was written by men who were inspired by God to do so. Also, truth is a part of what God is. It is one of the things that seperate us from Him. He cannot lie, so He is always truthful. No man can claim this. We have all lied at one time or another. When you deny the truthfulness of God's word, through believe of omitting what you don't agree with, you are also denying it's power that is there from being all true. And God's word says: If you deny me before man, I shall deny you before the father. Back to Top |

| So did God create everything in 6 days and rested on the seventh? |
|
|
| Was each day, during creation, really 24 hour days? |
Yes! This is the reason that different parts of the days are mention. Morning and evening etc. Then later God says to keep the sabath (7th day) Holy. Now, if the 7th day is more time than explained, how could we keep it that day Holy? Then there's the excuse about the word Hebrew word for day. That it does not mean a leteral 24 hours. When a Rabi was asked about this, he said: Each day mention in God's word was 24 hours. The hebrew word is YOM which means day. Also in Genesis 1:5, Notice that all four parts of a day is mentioned. And that God established this on the very first day. No where else in the creation is all 4 parts of one day mentioned in one verse. So by God establishing this for the first day, should He have to repeat it for every other day of creation?| And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. |

| What about the missing books of the Bible? |
First off I'd like to say that these books reffered to never existed in the "original Hebrew text" All Christian Bibles include the 39 books of the original Hebrew Bible, Some contain others, variously reffered to as the Apocrypha or Deuterocanonical books, which were "never" part of the Hebrew Bible, but which entered the Christian scriptures through the greek translation*, The Septuagint, and other ancient versions. Most were originally written in Greek. (Reference: Nelson's Illustrated Encyclopedia of the Bible)
*Now for the astrik- The greek to english translation of that time was the KJV. It was this version these books had been added to. But, when it was found out that this had been done, the KJV was rewritten omitting these books because they were not supposed to have been there In the first place. Wehn some of the Hebrews decided to live with the Greeks. God's word came with them. The Greeks wanted to read this book also so a translation was done from Hebrew to Greek. The Greeks were impressed enough that they wanted a part of themselves in the word of God. So they wrote more books. Some books history of people in God's word. More information, or just things made up.
List of the books omitted:
Tobit
Judith
Additions to Esther
Wisdom of Solomon
Wisdom of Ben Sira
Baruch
The letter of Jeremiah
Additions to David
Prayer of Azariah
Susanna
Bel and the Dragon
1-2 maccabees
1-2 Esdras
Prayer of Manasseh
Psalm 151
3-4 Maccabees
Notice there are 39 books in the old testament. And that Jesus took 39 stripes. Now since God always works in numbers, Do you think that this match means something? So what happens when you add those books? "39" does not exist anymore.
Now to mess up this 39 to 39 match, does this start to sound like? The work of Christians doing a translation, or Satan trying to mess up God's word?
