God, through Jesus Christ, created the world and everything in it—he created all creatures in heaven and hell below, in every possible world and dimension. Everything that exists owes it origin to God The creation continues to owe its continued existence to God as he sustains it.

You may have noticed that we did not discuss views of creation. The reason is that Christian Orthodoxy believes that the world was created by God but HOW is up to debate. Orthodoxy allows for a wide range of views, if ever I do a "debates" series I will include that information. For THIS series the focus is on agreement, and all Christians believe that the universe owes its origins to God.

John 1:1-3 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not anything made that was made.

Isaiah 45:12 I made the earth and created man on it; it was my hands that stretched out the heavens, and I commanded all their host.

Colossians 1:15-17 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together.

PSALM 75:3 When the earth totters, and all its inhabitants, it is I who keep steady its pillars.

Psalm 139:16 Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them.
