HEBREWS 11:3
"By faith we understand the entire universe was formed at God's command, that what we now see did not come from anything that can be seen."
This is what separated God from all the pretenders. Name all of the so called gods that men have worshiped since time began and ask yourself this one question, could they make something out of nothing? Can they make dirt, let a lone a universe? Inert gods such as the sun, moon and stars make no such claim. Animals of all types and descriptions were made themselves and are incapable to making anything. Confucius, Mohamed, Buddha and all the others that men have worshiped have never claimed to have made our universe. In fact they can not even make dirt! That is what separates the One True God from any others.
God spoke and the universe was brought into being. We know by faith that He formed the universe that we see, from something that can not be seen. Everything that we know from all of our senses has been made by God and He formed it out of Spirit not out of previous tangible items. God can make something out of nothing. No one but God can do this and those with the wisdom and knowledge of God can discern the difference between God and the pretenders.
In the beginning God fashioned, formed and prepared the heavens and the earth. God created them. God spoke and the universe was formed at His command. We now see what could not be seen except by the Spirit of God. It does not take faith to see the earth, sun, moon or stars because they are available to our senses. It does take faith to know and understand that God made the Heavens and the Earth. He made the universe out of nothing . He spoke and His will was done. God alone can make SOMETHING OUT OF NOTHING!
