In the Beginning...

Genesis 1:1-31


In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was empty,
darkness was hovering over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was
hovering over the waters. (1:1&2)


Quote:


"We teach that God has created heaven and earth, and that in the manner and in the space of time recorded in the Holy Scriptures, especially Gen. 1 and 2, namely, by His almighty creative word, and in six days. We reject every doctrine which denies or limits the work of creation as taught in Scripture....Since no man was present when it pleased God to create the world, we must look for a reliable account of creation to God's own record, found in God's own book, the Bible..."  Lutheran Church, Missouri Synod's doctrine of creation; adopted 1932.
