For you see, the atheists and other people who do not believe in the ONE TRUE and only WISE God of the Bible believe that MATTER has always existed as ATOMS that are so small that they cannot be SEEN with the nake eye. In other words, some people in other faiths who believe in many gods have also asked the question “WHO created God?” as a “TRICK” question so to speak. That is to say, the only reason that they asked that question in the first place was to take the heat off of them and place the heat on Christians. Let me explain what I mean by taking the heat off of them and placing the heat on Christians. Non-Christians, even including the Jews and the Muslims feel “uncomfortable” when a Christians says that Jesus is the ONLY name given among men whereby we MUST be saved, according to Acts 4:10-12. In other words, when a non-Christian hears that their faith in God, WITHOUT ALSO having faith in God’s Son, is WORTHLESS or in VAIN, then places “heat” on them so to speak. It makes them feel like Christians are judging them as being lost and their faith in science and their faith in another religion cannot save them. In other words, they do not understand WHY they need to be saved and ONLY faith in the NAME of Jesus can SAVE them. Save them from WHAT? Save them from the WRATH of Almighty God who created them! They do not understand WHY God needs to JUDGE them. And thus, some of them have asked the question “WHO created God”? They fail to see that they also have FAITH or a BELIEF that goes AGAINST the God who created them. They fail to understand that God has been PROVOKED to jealousy by His ENEMY. Think of it this way, if YOU made something and someone else took away the GLORY and praise that belongs to YOU and placed that honor and praise on themselves or on another god, then would that not cause anger to rise up in YOU? I will explain more about God’s ENEMY in a moment. But first I want to explain a few more things. Now, the atheist will try to deny that they do not have faith in anything, but they are lying to themselves. They have faith in themselves that they do not need to have faith in ANY god. And certainly, they sincerely believe that they do not have to have faith in the ONE TRUE and only WISE God who created everything that exists. And thus, when Christians WARN them of the JUDGMENT and WRATH of God, they ask the question “WHO created God?” So let me ask the atheist the question “WHO created MATTER?” For you see, if MATTER always existed as atoms that cannot be SEEN, the WHY is it impossible for God who is a Spirit who cannot be SEEN to have always existed WITHOUT being created? Who is to dogmatically say that Spirit is NOT matter that has intelligence? In other words, no one truly knows what Spirit is. And thus, it may very well be that the Eternal Spirit contains atoms or the building blocks of life within Himself. Now, if you ask ME a different question, such as “Was God ALWAYS God?”, then I would have to say NO! Not all Christians understand or have not considered that there was a time when God was all ALONE and by Himself not having created anything as yet. So at that time BEFORE the Eternal Spirit created anything, Spirit was not yet a God. In other words, some Christians do not understand that God is a TITLE and that He ALONE is the ONLY TRUE God, the God OF all other gods that He Himself SET to be gods under Himself to rule over different parts of His Universe. What would be the purpose of God using words and phrases in the Scriptures like Almighty God, the Most High God, the Highest, the Godhead, the ONLY TRUE God, the ONLY WISE God, and the God OF gods, if Yahweh was the ONLY God? These words and phrases would be meaningless to a being who was all ALONE having created NOTHING as yet. I mean who would the Eternal Spirit have been the God of or the God over when there was once no one but He Himself? But AFTER Spirit created all things, the Eternal Spirit who the Bible calls Yahweh, now uses these words and phrases to distinguish Himself from all of the other gods that He Himself MADE to become gods under and subject to Himself to be His HELPERS or servants, His attendants over different parts of His creations. Also, some Christians have no idea that SOME of the angels are called the Elohim. Like the old saying goes, “If all of the Indians were chiefs, then there would be no Indians for the chiefs to lead and watch over.” And in the same way, :If all of the angelic beings were promoted to be Elohim, then who would be left to be under them as their responsibility to watch over?” The word “elohim” is the plural form of the Hebrew word “eloah” that means God, a god, a Deity and a deity, as in, a lesser deity under the HEAD God who created them and exalted them to become deities under Him. And thus, the plural form “elohim” means deities or gods where Yahweh is the Supreme Deity or Highest God who created the “elohim”. Let us go ahead and read Psalm 8:5 out of its context first, and then we will read the context. Psalm 8:5. “For You have MADE him a little LOWER than the angels, (Translated from the Hebrew word “elohim”, which means gods. In other words, Yahweh MADE the Son of MAN a little LOWER than the gods who are of the created species of beings called the angels) and have CROWNED him with glory and honor.” I have highlighted the pronoun “You” in orange because it refers back to the Creator God whose name is Yahweh. And I highlighted the pronoun “him” in yellow, because it refers back to the PROPHECY of the Son of MAN in Psalm 8:4. Most Christians, know that this verse of Scripture is a PROPHECY of Jesus. So, according to the Bible ITSELF God MADE the FIRST Adam who is called the son of God in Luke 3:38. And God ALSO MADE the LAST Adam, the Son of MAN a little LOWER than the angelic beings. And some of the angels were made or set to become gods or Elohim under and subject to Yahweh, the God OF gods. In other words, Yahweh ALONE is the Godhead or the HEAD God over ALL of His creation. And Yahweh has SET some of His creation to be watchers or rulers over different parts of His creation of the Universe. But the focus for now is on the god over the earth during this present AGE of the earth who is a REBELLIOUS god that USED to be a good god BEFORE he rebelled and waged a WAR against his Creator. And thus, the Creator has the right to JUDGE, and if needed, to PUNISH the beings that He Himself created, when they disobey and fight against Him. And to me, that is the CORE reason for WHY atheists deny the existence of a CREATOR. For you see, every human being knows and understands that if “they” are the makers of a thing then they can do whatever they chose to the “thing” that they themselves MADE. And thus, if the thing that they themselves “made” is not pleasing to them, that they have the RIGHT to destroy that “thing” if they so choose, because that “thing” would not have existed without “them” MAKING that thing. And thus, if they admit to themselves that there is indeed a CREATOR who created them, then they know that their Creator has a right to set RULES for them to obey. And they also know that God created them for a PURPOSE. But they do not know WHAT that purpose is. Think about the PURPOSE for why humans invent things. Man designs and makes things for his PLEASURE. And if the thing that man made does not SATISFY the REASON that he made the thing FOR, then the maker will either try to FIX the thing to work the way he INTENDED it to work, or he will make a NEW thing to replace the old thing. And the old thing is thrown away to be destroyed. The part that is salvageable is saved and the rest is destroyed or discarded in the trash. So then, in the simplest terms, this is what God has been forced to do. Why do I say that God is “forced” to do something? How can an ALMIGHTY God be forced to do something? Think of it this way, picture yourself as being a mighty king over a vast empire. And thus, you have many other kings that you yourself SET or appointed to be kings under and subject to you to rule FOR you in your NAME over different parts of your kingdom that you built or made. So your NAME or reputation is at stake. Now, at first, all is great and everything is running smoothly UNTIL one day one of your kings persuades one third of your other kings to wage a WAR against you. Did you yourself start that war? NO! But you are FORCED to enter into that WAR to put and END to that rebellion. But what if those who rebelled and waged a war against you BLAMED you as being responsible for why they rebelled against you. But you know full well that you did NOTHING to provoke that war! However, the other two thirds of your kings and all of their subjects that you placed them over do not know beyond any shadow of a doubt that you did nothing to provoke that war. What would the OTHER two thirds of your kings think? Would they entertain the accusation that the war is YOUR fault? Would they join those who rebelled against you? And more importantly, at a LATER time would they rebel and wage yet another WAR against you? And that is what happened to God. PART of the Elohim that He Himself SET or appointed to be gods over different parts of His Universe rebelled AGAINST their Creator and waged a WAR against His throne. Their leader wanted MORE power and authority to be like Yahweh Himself. He wanted and still wants to be worshiped as God Himself is worshiped. And thus, God had a decision to make. Should Yahweh the Creator go ahead and destroy His ENEMIES right then and there and take the chance that His other kings would never rebel against him in the future. So God devised a PLAN to STILL His ENEMIES in such a way to END not only that war, but ALL future wars once His plan has been fully executed or fulfilled. And that is WHY God MADE or created MAN and the Son of MAN a little LOWER or INFERIOR to the angels, where some of whom He made to become the Elohim or the gods under Yahweh. Now let us read the CONTEXT of Psalm 8:5. Psalm 8:1-9. “To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm of David. O LORD our Lord, (This LITERALLY reads as “Yahweh, lords of us. And that literally translation AGREES with Acts 2:36 that clearly teaches us that the Son of MAN, Jesus, was MADE both Lord and Christ AFTER the cross and resurrection to JOIN his God and Father on his Father’s throne to rule FOR Yahweh in the NAME of Yahweh for 1000 years in the world to come) how excellent is Your NAME in all the earth! Who has SET Your glory above the heavens. (In John 17:1-3, Jesus asked his God and Father to glorify his so THAT he could glorify his God and Father the ONLY true God.The human Son of Yahweh was GIVEN a NEW NAME after the cross and resurrection that is above every other NAME to bring GLORY to Yahweh the Father, according to Philippians 2:8-11 and many other verses of Scripture. Please read the two part study called D-23. WHAT is the NEW NAME of Jesus? Part 1. But for now, remember Jesus saying in John 17:1-3 to his God and father to glorify him so THAT he could glorify Yahweh. Keep in mind that the GodHEAD will judge His enemy Satan and the fallen Elohim BY the MAN that He ORDAINED and raised from the dead, according to Acts 17:29-31 Also, keep in mind that we as faithful Christians will be WITNESSES along with Jesus to JUDGE the angels, according to 1 Corinthians 6:2,3) 2. Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings (Or out of the MOUTH of Your WITNESSES) have You ordained strength BECAUSE OF Your ENEMIES, THAT (Or so THAT or in ORDER THAT) You might STILL the ENEMY and the AVENGER. (In other words, the very reason that Yahweh created Adam and the Son of Adam is to STILL His ENEMIES and put and END to the WAR that Lucifer waged against Yahweh during the days that are past BEFORE God created MAN upon the earth, according to Deuteronomy 4:32. And Yahweh IMPLORES or BEGS us to ASK Him about those days that are PAST of the previous AGE of the earth when Lucifer tried to self exalt the throne over the earth ABOVE the clouds to be like Almighty God) 3. When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have ordained; (The word stars prophetically refers to the angels and the moon refers to the “moon god”, referring to Satan, the CHIEF over the fallen Elohim or the fallen angels) 4. What is MAN, that You are mindful of him? and the Son of MAN, (Or the Son of Adam, referring to the last Adam, the Son of MAN, Jesus) that You visit him? (According to Isaiah 50:4-11, the Spirit of Yahweh visited or woke up the Son of MAN, Jesus, morning after morning and TAUGHT him the Scriptures) 5. For You have MADE him a little LOWER than the angels, and (You) have CROWNED him with glory and honor. 6. You MADE him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; (Or the very reason that You MADE or created the Son of MAN, Jesus, is to have DOMINION over the work of Yahweh to be Yahweh faithful and true WITNESS. According to Acts 17:29-13 the Godhead will JUDGE the world BY that MAN that He ORDAINED and raised from the DEAD) You have put all things under his feet: (And, according to Hebrews 2:1-9 and 1 Corinthians 15:30-28 all things are not YET put under the feet of Jesus, but they will be during the world to come when the LAST enemy, death, is destroyed in the lake of fire on the final Day of Judgment) 7. All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field; 8. The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passes through the paths of the seas. (Or Yahweh has GIVEN all power and dominion over the earth to His human Son, Jesus to glorify the NAME of his God and Father. AND Yahweh has also given the Son of MAN, Jesus, dominion over whatsoever CROSSES OVER from the realm of the wicked or evil spirits, speaking of the fallen Elohim or the fallen angels. The word “seas” prophetically refers to the wicked. And in the NAME of Jesus) 9. O LORD our Lord, (Or LITERALLY Yahweh our lords) how excellent is Your NAME in all the earth!” Again, the Bible ITSELF teaches us that Yahweh HIGHLY EXALTED the Son of MAN, Jesus, and GAVE him a NEW NAME after the cross and resurrection to be MADE Yahweh’s Lord of lords and King of kings. And thus, whenever we command in the NAME of Jesus we are commanding in the name of YAHWEH, the name ABOVE every other name. And when we baptize in the NAME of Jesus, we are baptizing in the name of Yahweh. For you see, AFTER the cross and resurrection, Yahweh GAVE all authority and power in His own NAME to His now highly exalted human Son, Jesus, because of his obedience to endure the cross, according to Hebrews 12:2 and Philippians 2:8-11. Please read the two part study called D-23. WHAT is the NEW NAME of Jesus? Part 1. But for now, let us get back to the question “WHO created God?” Now that you know and understand the the word “God” is a TITLE or a NAME that simply means RULER or a MIGHTY one and that Yahweh GAVE His human Son of MAN, Jesus the NAME “Mighty God”, according to the PROPHECY in Isaiah 9:6,7, then it should be obvious the the Eternal Spirit who told us that His NAME is Yahweh gave Himself the NAME or TITLE of God AFTER He created something to be the God over. Is not the OWNER of his property the RULER or overseer of his own property? Are you not the king or ruler of your own family that lives under your roof? Were you a ruler over your home BEFORE you possessed a home? NO! Of course not. So then, when did the Eternal Spirit named Yahweh become the God OF gods? Again, it should be obvious that one could not be the head God over other gods UNTIL there were other gods MADE. And since Yahweh MADE all of the other gods, except for the FALSE idol gods that are made by MAN, then God has the right to RULE OVER the gods that He Himself MADE to become gods under and subject to Him. And God is a GOOD God. But Satan is an EVIL god who must be destroyed because he REFUSES to repent of his evil ways. And consequently, every human being who has ever sinned even ONE time in their life has SOLD their soul to God’s ENEMY. Now, they may not have “intentionally” known the “LAW”, so to speak. But they did KNOW their CONSCIENCE which told them not to do it and they disobeyed their conscience. And thus, they have fallen short of the GLORY which God prepared for them. And that is WHY they NEED a Savior. And the ONLY Savior given among the human race whereby we MUST be saved is Jesus. So that is GOOD NEWS, which people should REJOICE when they hear that Jesus suffered and died for THEIR sins. And all they need to do is REPENT and ask Almighty God to forgive them of all their past sins in the NAME of His Son, Jesus. So then, if an atheist ever asks you the question “WHO created the Eternal Spirit?”, then the answer is the ETERNAL Spirit is the ONLY one who has always had immortality or eternal LIFE within Himself. And thus, the Eternal Spirit, is the SOURCE of LIFE. And without the Eternal Spirit CREATING or FORMING other beings OUT FROM Himself, then NOTHING would exist except for Yahweh Himself, the Eternal Spirit. Then you ask the atheist “WHO created MATTER?” For you see, most atheists believe that MATTER has ALWAYS existed without being CREATED. And if you as an atheist can believe that MATTER has ALWAYS existed, then WHY do you refuse to believe that a CREATOR has always existed? In other words, why is it so hard for you as an atheist to see that SPIRIT always existed WITHOUT being CREATED. Again, no one really and truly knows WHAT Spirit actually is. The Hebrew word “ruach” that is “translated” as Spirit has many meanings. Spirit in the Hebrew language is defined as being like the wind. The Hebrew word for Spirit is defined as being BREATH or to breathe, which we know as being LIFE. For without breath one ceases to be physically alive. This Hebrew word also means “Spirit” and “spirit” referring to a RATIONAL being. It is also defined as MIND. So then, Spirit is INTELLIGENCE. Or at least Spirit possesses a MIND with understanding, knowledge, and wisdom. And according to Isaiah 1:18-20, Yahweh desires ALL humans to come to Him and REASON together with Him. Please read Isaiah 1:18-20. “Come now, and let us REASON together, says the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. 19. If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land: 20. But if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD has spoken it.” In other words, Yahweh your Creator is saying to YOU who do not believe in His Son, Jesus, whom He MADE to become His Messiah or the Savior of mankind. I am your Creator and I have made some RULES for My creation to obey. And IF you willingly obey My commandments, then you will be satisfied with GOOD. But if you refuse my GOODNESS and rebel, then I cannot protect you from my ENEMIES who seek to kill, steal, and destroy you. By your OWN rebelling against My free GIFT of salvation you are saying to me that you have chosen to side with My ENEMY. Please know and understand that I LOVE you even while you are REJECTING My love. My DESIRE is for you to come to the knowledge of the TRUTH and be saved. But I cannot help you until YOU CHOOSE me by calling upon my NAME to save you. And the NAME of Yahweh is His SAVIOR named Jesus, which means Yahweh saves or the salvation of Yahweh. So the ONE commandment of Yahweh to have ALL of your past sins washed away for you to be white as snow is to BELIEVE in NAME of His Son, Jesus, and CONFESS Jesus as your Lord. Then buy a Bible and ask The Holy Eternal Spirit to TEACH you His word. I have studied the Scriptures from age 23 nearly every day and I am present 66 years old. I have written down many of those studies and posted them on my website as God directed me. Before I owned a computer I hand wrote all of my studies and shared them by word of mouth. Later, I asked my sister-in-law to type my studies so that I could make copies and hand them out to others. And while typing my studies my sister-in-law was saved. She was raised in the Assemblies of God church denomination, but she had never accepted Jesus as he Lord and Savior. I share this testimony to show you the POWER of God’s word to CHANGE a person’s life for the BETTER. Even though she was basically a “good” person in her own eyes, she saw that her own good works caused PRIDE in herself. And from the Scriptures she was typing out for me, she saw that God desired her to be HIS workmanship and NOT her own workmanship, according to Ephesians 2:8-15. And according to Psalm 127:1-5, except Yahweh builds the house, they that build the house build it in VAIN! In other words, Jesus said, “What good is it or what does it prophet you if you gain the whole world and LOSE your SOUL?” Please read Mark 8:33-38. “ But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get behind me, Satan: for you savor NOT the things that are of God, but the things that are of MEN. (In other words, Peter, you are doing and saying what Satan wants you to do and say. Those are the things that human do who do not know God) 34. And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. 35. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; (Or whosoever will try to save his own life by doing things his own way shall LOSE his reward of eternal life) but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it. (Or whosoever surrenders control of his own life to do things God’s way will obtain his reward of eternal life in the world to come) 36. For what shall it PROFIT a man, if he shall gain the WHOLE world, and LOSE his own soul? (In other words, ALL of the riches of this present world is laid up FOR us who are saved. So what does it PROFIT a LOST person to have all of the riches of this present world for even a hundred years when they will lose all of those riches AND also LOSE their own soul?) 37. Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? (In other words, you can give ALL your riches away and that is not enough money to give in exchange for your soul. All God wants is your LOVE and your obedience to obey His TWO commandments under the New Covenant written in the New Testament. And as your reward His Son will give you eternal life in the world to come) 38. Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.” So then, atheists have a 50% CHANCE of being right in their BELIEF that there is NO God who created everything that exists out from Himself. And that means they have a 50% CHANCE that they are WRONG and there is a God and a final Day of JUDGMENT. So all I am saying is why not be 100% SURE that you will be judged WORTHY to receive eternal life in the world to come? If you are NOT 100% POSITIVELY SURE with absolute certainty that you ARE saved and that you WILL be found that good and faithful servant to be given eternal life to rule and reign WITH Jesus in the world to come, then please read the study called E-4. HOW CAN I BE SAVED? You do NOT have to give up your faith in TRUE SCIENCE that AGREE with Yahweh who created SCIENCE. Please read the study called D-40. God CREATED SCIENCE!
