# Creator Bible Study
## Background
- 2023.05.27
- Although this study is titled "Creator", I think it will be counter productive to have a separate study on God's creation. I DO have two different "topics" [[Creator]] and [[Creation]]. I will use that differentiation to separate the Creator from His handiwork.
- 2015.06.30
- Started this study
- However, see below about the study titled "Focus on the Creator"
- 2011.12.11
- Started the "Focus on the Creator Bible Study"

## Questions

## Extra Biblical Notes
- 2012.06.14
- How should The Creator guide us on a host of other issues such as gay marriage? What about other justice issues?
- 2013.06.13
- As I was watering and talking with God, I was reminded that God is still at work in His creation. Many people fret about many things such as climate change. Those people forget that God is in control. I am not saying that we need to be careless with His creation, but we need to act like it IS His creation and treat it like He would want us to do so. This statement also applies to wearing clothes to hide His masterpiece. It applies to worrying about the NSA as in the movie "Enemy of the State".
- 2012.06.12
- I was thinking about all that I have been learning about our creator God and thinking I should write a book about it. The title, "He's the Creator. So What?" came to me. It would discuss how we should take care of His creation to honor him. It wouldn't be a bleeding heart liberal book about global warming, but it would address how we should honor God by stewarding His creation. The book would also address how we should honor Him with our bodies. It will address health and fitness as well as nudity.
- I want to assume that God created everything in a literal seven days just Genesis says. The book won't address creation science or any of the debates on seven, 24-hour periods vs long periods of time.
- I want to address the following:
- Instances in the bible where God identifies Himself as the creator, Jeremiah 10:12, Jeremiah 10.16; Jeremiah 51.15; Jeremiah 32:2; [Romans 1:20](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TviO9hDXmPNNg-J0_qDMPJdl1jFJkAy4CceCLJtCVrc/edit#bookmark=id.p5tk4g49tqjf)
- The Romans passage is the most telling and may form the primary basis. As I memorize those passages, I will look to God to reveal His heart to me.
- Address the commands to steward the earth
- Image of God
- 777 - Lord, please reveal your heart on this subject. Show me what you want me to communicate.
- 2011.12.11
- When we put on clothing for other than environmental reasons, we are covering God's image and denying the "good" creator.
- Although we are responsible for being good stewards of the earth, God is ultimately in charge. If we repent and pray to Him, He can and probably will heal the damage we have done. The repenting we need to do is primarily our relationship with Him. We also need to repent from abusing God's creation.
- The creator gave me my naked body made in His image. It is inalienable, even if you take away everything else.
- Jesus was born naked
- [[Romans_01|Romans 1]] lays out a long list of consequences when we ignore God as creator.
- We have modesty turned around
- We are commanded to serve as ministers of reconciliation. Man rejected God as creator and Lord in the orchard. The reconciliation is between God and man and between man and God's creation and between man and man.
## General Notes
- See my thoughts about God as the creator vs uniformitarianism {[[J-2015.01.08-Uniformitarianism]]}
