From the begining of time we have often heard the phrase, "In god we trust." The question still remains what god are they referring to? From public leaders to American currency we have heard the phrase again and again. Keep in mind that anything or anyone can become someone's god. History has depicted that mankind has worshiped various animals, and other creation as their gods. I often watch award cerimonies that refer to god or witness various social media that commonly uses OMG. The Bible (also known as the word), states:
"Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain (Exodus 20:3-7 KJV)."
It has always puzzled me how many of us as creations have turned to worshiping other creations. In my understanding we are all creations, therefore we all have a creator. If we have a creator then we must have been created. Being that we are created, we must have been created with a purpose to serve our creator. It is very easy as a creation to fall subservient to a higher power. Unfortunately, many of us have created our own gods to serve and have abandon our creator's plan. One of the oldest recordings of creation is depicted in the Bible, which states:
"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth (Genesis 1:1 KJV). For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it (Exodus 20:11 KJV)."
