What Does It Mean To Say That Everything Began When God Created

I believe that everything began when God created it. God created the Heavens, Earth, and everything in it. There was nothing before creation. Genesis 1:1-31 and 2:1 give an account of the entire creation story and how the world came to be. On the other hand, I believe that the earth as we know it today will end with the rapture of the Christians to Heaven and with the battle of Armageddon that will destroy the earth, as we know it. However, I also believe that the there is no actual end. There is an eternity for all people, but each individual chooses their own eternity, Heaven or Hell.
There is a God. God is the creator of the earth, our Heavenly Father, the ruler over the entire universe, and many more things. He is the father to the fatherless, He is love, and He is the Almighty. In Genesis 1:26-31, God says, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness...” I believe that we are somewhat like God because of what we can take from this verse.
In the beginning, we were all created perfect, without any sin. However, while Adam and Eve were in the Garden of Eden, they sinned against God because of the influence of Satan (Genesis 3:1-24). After that moment of the first sin, all of humankind was born with sin being their moral nature.
I believe that God controls the course of events in the universe. God is the creator and ruler over the entire universe. He knows everything that is going to happen even before it happens. He controls the clouds, the waves, the wind, and everything in
