A) Creation  (Creation vs Evolution)

When Charles Darwin wrote his book "The Origin of the Species", his theory was based on what was observable in his lab or what his eyes could see in nature. This theory is still taught in our schools and its purpose is to eliminate God as our Creator.  This theory is not only not reasonable but is ridiculous for one very good reason: the DNA code in all of creation.

Darwin didn't have the modern instruments that we have today, such as: the electron microscope and computers; he had no idea that DNA even existed.  If we try to cross-breed species, we end up with a sterile animal.  God made all creatures (man and animal) according to their species (Gen 1: 9-25).  If we cross a horse with a donkey we end up with a mule but this animal is sterile.

 

B) The Trinity (Mystery of the Trinity)

As you know, God is composed of three distinct persons: The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit and the three are as one; this is a mystery and can only be understood by faith.  The Bible speaks of this mystery very early in Genesis chapter 1 verse 26 where it says: "Let us make man in OUR image".  Also, the fourth word in Genesis is God and in Hebrew the word used is "Elohim" which  means God in plural (the "im" ending denotes plural in Hebrew)

 

E) Israel (Its origin)

This nation began with a man from Ur of Chaldee.  His name was Abram and he was a direct descendant of Noah's son, Shem (Gen 11 :27); his father's name was Terach.

God asked him to leave his country and He made him a promise : "And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed."  This promise has held true even until today.
