Mystery # 2

That God can make a totally different universe is certainly true. I sometimes wonder if he ever created another milky way after he created ours.

We named it milky way, it is how we see a part of the galaxy we live on in the sky. The universe if full of "milky ways", there are billions of galaxies. And yes we will have bodies to answer the question you asked owlwings. Apostle Paul is telling you that.

I appreciate when these types of questions are asked that encourage us to think and listen to one another. But please, iuliuxd, none of us should pretend we know what the Bible means or what happened in the beginning or what will happen in the end. Your suggestions are no more right or wrong than anyone elses.

In Psalm 2 Jehovah God, the Father of Jesus calls him his son. Here he is called Messiah and anointed. You can read the whole Psalm 2 here http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm%202&version=YLT You can also make a search on this site and see what comes up. http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/h/r1/lp-e - I made a search with "the son of God" and found a lot info, including the scripture above. Thanks for the question. I learned a lot when I made that search. It can be good to use this online library for personal study..

We believe differently on The Son of God (Christ) being created by God unless you are talking about when Jesus became man. I think a little creation had to be in process then. Jesus is the Word and I Am. This I understand was from the beginning. We actually, aren't suppose to be able to understand the Godhead fully or they would not be powerful enough for me to worship.

I have started to read it but it will take me awhile to finish and get a response ready. An interesting thought came up while I read part of the article. Just when did Christ start to be called the "Son of God?" So far I only find it in the New Testament. Do you have any verses from the Old Testament where Christ was called the "Son of God?" I know he was call "I AM, The Word." All these names were also attributed to God. Will try to finish the article tomorrow but I need time to find references to discuss what was included in the article.

There is a possibility that if the earth was created awhile before God created life on it then as the article I read put it, the sun moon and stars may also have been created but not given the energy to shine until the fourth day. I would think at least the sun planet had to be there since the earth orbits around it. It is just a thought. God can do what he wants when it comes to creating things.

cynthiann: The New Testament were a lot of letters written to Christian churches and believers. A lot of Daniels prophecies had to do with the latter days. So is Revelation.

I guess we aren't to speculate about things God does not reveal to us but it still stirs up my curiosity.

There is room to wonder because it says the earth was formless and empty and darkness was over the surface. The light was said to be created on the first day not the earth. The earth part actually came later when he separated the land from the water. Also room is given to think the masses might have been here before the actual 6 days of creation in that the earth rotates around the sun but yet the sun didn't shine until the fourth day. The sun, moon and star masses could have been here already but God didn't give the sun and stars the energy to shine until the 4th day. God created these masses but there is room to think they might have been here before the 24 hour periods began. I am not advocating this theory. Only that it has given me cause to wonder and wondered what others might think. It sounds like the majority feel God created these masses along with light and darkness.
