All Other Creatures

Romans 8: 39 KJV Nor height, or depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Mark 16: 15 KJV And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

Hebrews 4:13 KJV Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

These three verses are examples of an odd word - creature. What exactly does this mean? The Greek word is ktisis. It means: A making, thing made, formation, (literal or figurative) building, creation, creature, ordinance.

So what is God saying here when the word creature is used?

In Romans in the previous verses, it talks of what can't separate us from God. Literally it says devils spirits, those in power over us, life, death, angels, present nor future, and yet it specifically also adds creatures. What other creatures is Paul writing about that God felt was so important we, as believers, needed to know that?

In Mark, Jesus is telling his followers to preach the word of God to all Creatures.

In Hebrews God sees all creatures.

So what other creations has God made that we are supposed not to be afraid of and preach His word to?

An interesting mystery. Any thoughts?

'Why Not Question' : Movie Review - 'The Jensen Project'

The next movie, 'The Jensen Project' follows the adventure of teen age boy who is the son of two brilliant parents. They had removed themselves from a think tank project but were recalled when an emergency emerges. Their son teams up with a fellow girl genius and the two of them embark upon an adventure to discover who caused the problem.

A good attempt at a Science Fiction/Mystery film but also predictable. The flying car was a fun addition and for the teen audience, the tension between the girl and boy would be all they could hope for. The parents' and other adult roles are downplayed, the bad guys stereotypes, which makes the film a bit less than it could have been.

If the viewer enjoyed films such as 'Return to Witch Mountain' or other Disney features, then they will enjoy this movie.

On a scale of 1 to 5, this film is a 3.
