No my friend I "prefer" what God tells us in His word. "
Thus the heavens and the earth, and all the host of them, were finished. And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done. Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made." (
Genesis 2:1-3)
Trying to make Hebrew words agree with English definitions is the problem. Here is the KJV with the Hebrew words used:
Gen 2:1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, (brought to perfection)
and ALL the host of them.
In English the word "finished" is in the past BUT in the Hebrew imperfect tense, this is what it means:
The imperfect tense expresses an action, process or condition which is incomplete
IOW, the action of finishing is incomplete and will happen in the future. Notice ALSO that "ALL the host" of heaven is now complete. This means that the last sinner to be created in Christ is safely in Heaven.
Gen 2:2 And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had made; and He rested (ceased creating) on the seventh day from ALL His work which He had made.
God ends
ALL of His work of creating since creating is what God does. God ends His work of creating since it has now been brought to perfection and
ALL of the host of Heaven, which includes
ALL Christians, are in Heaven. The word "rested" is in the Hebrew perfect tense which means that God rests from
ALL of His work then at this time, forever. It will be too late to be saved. Gen 1:26 Gen 5:1 and John 14:16
God's work of "creating" mankind in His Image, or In Christ is now complete. When God rests (ceases) from
ALL of His work of creating new creatures in Christ, it will be too late to be born again Spiritually.
Gen 2:3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it He had rested from ALL His work which God created and made.
God will NOT create again since this is the end of the Creation of the perfect Heaven and it is filled with ALL of it's host. God's work is finished for Eternity.
Obviously the text doesn't mean that God just quit doing anything. But it clearly means that God was DONE with the work of creation. This has nothing to do with "theology" of ancient men and everything to do with the plain and clear reading of the text. Jesus told us that the Father still works but He didn't say anything about the Father still creating anything. That is you twisting Jesus' words to mean what you want them to mean rather than what they actually mean.
Then please tell us HOW one is born again Spiritually. You will find that it takes the AGREEMENT of the Trinity (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) to create eternally. God's work of creating sinners in Christ continues today, since we live at Gen 1:27 because God is
STILL creating Humankind/Adam in Christ Spiritually, Eternally. The prophecy of Gen 1:28-31 is FUTURE. IF you don't believe me, tell me when Lions ate straw like the Ox. Isa 11:7
