In the beginning God.
In the beginning El.
From this statement we have the origin of our understanding about our Creator.
Little is given about the Creator. All the attention is given to the creation. Through the creation we discover the Creator is an inventor. We learn he is a scientist; he is a physicist, he is a mathematician; he is linguist; he is a designer; he is perfect in his judgment and choices; he makes no mistakes; the quality of his decisions are simply called "good."
Within the goodness of his creation we discover something else. The Creator loves beauty. He makes opposites that are attracted to each other. He created the male and female. He creates an interrelationship between all things so that they need each other to have purpose and existence, yea, to live in balance and harmony.
One name, initially describes the Creator: God.
The only part of creation that challenges God is mankind.
With all the evidence of special creation by a Master Creator, mankind turns to his fears, his categories of ignorance, his inability to control others, and invents gods from stone, wood, clay, and eventually metal. To these he subscribes his beliefs about spiritual powers. He gives to his idols power over his life and death, family, and others. He surrenders to his invented god his will and his actions. He will kill for his god. He soon forgets his Creator and worships the created, the things of creation, yea, things he himself made.
Mankind no longer respects the Originator of all things. His mind cannot grasp the invisible, the existence of God, or even that he himself had a Master Designer, a Master Inventor. To think of such means his idols are foolishness. Shall the man say to the idol he fashioned with his hands: "oh my created god, you created me?" He would instantly know of his stupidity.
From man's stupidity he created reasons why he will not believe in the Creator called God. And from this dark abyss of his own making he wanders through life without a God, without a purpose, and without a happy future.
We now know our Creator is none other than Jesus Christ. For this reason, to him belongs all my praise, my glory, my honor, my respect, and my loyalty. Because to him I owe my redemption and salvation. To him alone is all the power. For he is God.
This Creator God, this loving and kind inventor of all that is good, was never called Allah.
