We believe the Genesis record of creation is literal, and not allegorical or figurative. God personally created the heavens and the earth with Jesus Christ the One through whom all things came to be and through whom they continue to exist. He created all things from nothing. We believe that God is the creator of all things and that He did not work through any form of evolution. God personally created the heavens and the earth with Jesus Christ the One through whom all things came to be and through whom they continue to exist. He created all things from nothing. He created the world as we know it today in six, literal, twenty-four-hour days, and rested on the seventh day as an example to all mankind. He actually fashioned all organic forms as specific creations subject to limited changes within species. He ordained each species to bring forth after its kind. Not one of His creations was conditioned upon antecedent changes naturally occurring during interminable periods of time. Everything He made was exceedingly good and the death of man or animal did not exist until after the sin of mankind. We believe that the creation from Genesis 1:2 on is about 6,000 years ago.
Genesis 1 and 2; Exodus 20:11; Job 38:4-7; Isaiah 40:26, 42:5, 45:18; Matthew 25:41; John 1:3; Colossians 1:16; Hebrews 1:2-3, 11:3
We believe there is a biblical “gap” between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2 and that the condition of the earth in 1:2 is the result of divine judgment following the fall of Satan. From Genesis 1:3 and on is the restoration work of God to prepare the world for the habitation of mankind. This “gap” absolutely does not allow for any evolution ideology or the existence of man or any other living being listed in Genesis 1 before the restoration.
