What does God's Word say?
Scripture
The Bible contains 66 books split between two testaments; the old and new. The Old Testament contains 39 books while The New Testament contains 27. Infallible, divinely inspired and unique is the written Word of God exercising absolute authority over every aspect of Creation. The only one true "manual" sufficient for every soul in its redemptive themes of salvation and the gospel. All backed by historical events, eye-witness testimonies and scientific evidence.
God
The only one true God, existing outside time itself, eternal, infinitely perfect. He is the Creator, Sustainer and Ruler of all things.
End Times Rapture Theory
The rapture theory infiltrated the western church through the Scofield Reference Bible leading many leaders and congregate members to believe that Christians will not face hardships and persecution. Instead, we will be magically lifted away. This in turn has driven dispensationalism.
The Sovereignty of God
-
Sin
The result of the fall of Adam in the garden with Eve causing both a physical and spiritual separation from God and the necessity for salvation to be redeemed. This is why death, disease, bloodshed, suffering, extinction, thorns and violent weather exists. As descendants of Adam all of mankind are inherently evil and subject to God's wrath and condemnation. For a child does not need to be taught to lie, fight or commit theft.
Creation of the Universe
Six day creation week followed by a day of rest where everything reproduces after its own kind without any additional information leading to adaptations.
Man
Created in the image of God as male and female. Two distinct complementary genders reflecting character attributes of God. Adam came from that of dust and given the breath of life and Eve from Adam's rib. By the creation of man and woman came the very first legitimate marriage. Sanctioned by God a marriage is that of one naturally born man and one naturally born woman. Sex and gender cannot be separated and to make any attempt to alter one's biological makeup is sinful and offensive to God. Every human life is sacred and begins at conception. Not one is the same therefore everyone born or unborn is unique and created in the image of God. To intentionally take a life is a violation of the sanctity of life and a crime against God and man. All humans are created equally regardless of any factor for we are of but one race.
