This concept of self-creation gets a lot of credibility and credence in our modern society.

But five minutes of careful examination of the concept will reveal to any sentient creature

that the idea itself is a logical absurdity and a logical impossibility.

Think about that for just a moment. If something created itself, it would have to exist

before it existed. But what about God? Did He create himself? Welcome to renewing your mind

on this Saturday. I'm Nathan W. Bingham. At the Burning Bush, Moses received one of the most

profound theology lessons recorded for us in the Bible. That's why R.C. Sprold took the time

to teach through this encounter

for his series Moses and the Burning Bush. And we'll send you the series on DVD, along with

the companion book, as our way of saying thank you for your donation before midnight tonight

at Renewing Your Mind.org. Well, during this encounter, God refers to himself as

I am who I am. That declaration is not meant to confuse us. Actually, it tells us everything we need to

know about God's self-existence. Here's Dr. Spurl to explain.

We continue now with our study of the significance of God's name, by which he revealed himself

to Moses and called this name, his memorial name for all generations, the name Yahweh, which being translated means,

I am who I am.

Now, in the age in which we live, we see that the Christian faith is constantly under attack in the secular world,

and the guns of criticism are aimed chiefly at one target.

And that target is the idea of creation.

Because every secularist understands that if you can repudiate and refute the

biblical concept of creation, you have dealt the mortal blow against Christianity and against all

religion.
