Summary: We continue the study in Genesis chapter 1 to see how sinful and deluded man has overturned all that God set in place, inverting and destroying it. We especially look at evolution and God is Light. Man’s inversion of God’s order causes chaos and growing evil.

MAN HAS TWISTED, CONTORTED, INVERTED, AND OPPOSED ALL GOD’S CREATION – PART 2 GENESIS CHAPTER 1

In Part 1 we looked at how man has taken what belongs to God and cancelled God out of the whole matter. The self-deceived in the world dismiss God and His creation and wallow in their own intelligence and wisdom that God calls foolishness. We live in days now where all that is godly is being set aside incredibly rapidly, and man’s wickedness is dictating policies and evil behaviour.

These are the last days of the Church age before the Lord takes His people away in the Rapture, and the growing wickedness of the human race will enter the Tribulation. It is a shame that some Christians do not believe that but the blessed hope of the Lord’s coming for His Church most certainly will happen.

It is astounding at how rapidly wickedness is progressing right through governments, the judiciary and the police force. Even people’s interactions with each other are now not to be trusted as they once were.

We will continue this series begun in PART 1. THIS ARTICLE CONTAINS IRONY. However I think some people don’t understand irony. Don’t get it muddled. The statement of the bible from Genesis each time is followed by the direct contradiction. The contradiction will always be in inverted commas along with [[ ]] and represents what is said in opposition.

Remember there is quite a lot of irony here. Please understand it like that. Britain and Australians use irony. I am not sure about the USA. I think Indians (India) use irony well but that is part of the British legacy.

THE THIRD MATTER

{{Genesis 1:3-4 Then God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. God saw that the light was good”}}

[[“NO, not correct! But light is not good. We don’t want people examining us and following what we are doing, spying on us. We want our own secrecy.”]]

Sinners don’t want light. We all go about our own lives walking in darkness if one is not a Christian and love that darkness for we are covered from exposure. “Light is just relative. What might be light for you is not for me. In other words, ‘We all have our own light,’” say the walkers in darkness. “It is all just subjective! Live and let live.”

That is the way the natural man behaves. He thinks and does what is natural to him. He does what his nature tells him to do and walks in darkness but he thinks it is the light. The bible is very precise about the nature of man, that it is fallen and corrupt and very devious, seeking always to depart further and further from God. God terms it this way – {{Ephesians 2:3 “Among them we too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest,”}}

If I give a person a bucket of clothes pegs all the same colour (say white) and ask him to separate them into red and green he will be at a loss to do what is asked. However if the bucket contained an equal number of red and green pegs and I asked a person with red-green colour blindness to separate the pegs into red and green pegs, he would be unable to do so.

People with a “sin colour blindness” would find it difficult/impossible to divide light and darkness. O, yes, he could do so in the physical sense but not in the spiritual sense. To put it scripturally -

{{John 1:4-5 “In Him (Jesus Christ) was life, and THE LIFE WAS THE LIGHT OF MEN. The light shines in the darkness and the darkness did not comprehend it.” John 1:9-10 “There was THE TRUE LIGHT which, coming into the world, enlightens every man. He was in the world and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him.”}}

Jesus is the true light that makes the light of God known so we can see where to walk. God said, “Let there be light,” and in the fullness of time the Light came into the world. However men will deny the light and try all the harder to extinguish it. They are cockroaches who love the dark and when you shine a light, they all scamper away. Those living in darkness will even try to extinguish those who are walking in the Light. Isaiah put it well when he wrote – {{Isaiah 5:20-21 “Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil, who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness, who substitute bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and clever in their own sight!”}}
