There are many things written here if not taking in its context will go ahead and ruin the thought process of men in their journey to know God as he is and not how man perceives him.
We as people have many questions when it comes to a state men like this. One of those questions might be What was God doing before this? The very answer lies in the first part of the verse.
In the beginning God......
since we know he calls himself the alpha and the omega(Revelation 1:8, 22:13) it is shown he is the beginning and the end and; Since this verse here says "in the beginning God" this only means that in the beginning of all things God existed and to exist is a verb. For the Christian faith this is the axiom or an origin. If we decide to go past where the bible is silent then we start to lean on our own understanding of the bible as a mixture of man's thought mixed with God's thought; as opposed to seeing the bible as a whole masterpiece of harmony and truth. We must learn to trust and have faith in the word of God (Proverbs 3:5).
As we move in in the scripture we see that he created time hence the" beginning", space "the heavens", and matter "the earth". So as we can observe here is that God himself in the first verse upholds the doctrine of the trinity. If we were to summarize the verse it would say "in the beginning God created the universe". the universe is made of 3 things Time, Space, and Matter.
-Time is not Space
-Time is not Matter
-Space is not Time
-Space is not Matter
-Matter is not Space
-Matter is not Time
Yet They are all Together the universe.
come to think if it we are all build in such a format. all our bodies are systematically composed of the same type of ordeal.
Mind, Soul, and Spirit..
Those things in themselves are not each other yet, they come together and make us as humans made in the image and likeness of God (Genesis 1:26).
As we go ahead and sum things up. we can end wit this thought.. If we ever have a problem with the very beginning of the bible then like all things we have a problem with the whole bible.
Hope this Helps the Faith of many who walk in Christ and as well as many more entries to come.
