"In the beginning . . .." - when it?

"The spirit searches into all things, even the deep things of God." - 1 Corinthians 2:10.

WE all Jehovah's Witnesses remember the joy we feel to learn the truth. Among some of the wonderful things we have learned we can cite the importance it was to know the name of God, Jehovah, why he permits suffering, why only some people go to heaven and what the future holds for the most faithful of mankind in general . Maybe we had already examined the Bible before, but these things were hidden from us like that, as is the majority of humanity. We were like a man who, from the water surface, looks at a coral reef. Without equipment, he can not see all the beauty that exists below the surface. But with the help of glasses or a dive boat with a transparent background, he is amazed to see first bright colored corals, fish, sea-anemones and other fascinating creatures alive. Similarly, when a Jehovah's Witness began to help me understand the Scriptures, had my first look at the "deep things of God." - 1 Corinthians 2:8-10.


     Will we still find new things by studying the Scriptures? Absolutely! All Jehovah's Witnesses are encouraged to take the weekly schedule as personal Bible study. Not infrequently we take very seriously this time and, thus, in a systematic, study Scripture to review what we already know and also find new truths, "even if [they are] the deep things of God." The expression "the deep things of God" must include understanding the origin of the universe and our planet. Do staff in our study we know the truth about this important issue, while controversial? It is with great pleasure that I, an enthusiastic student of the Bible and which has the habit, since for nearly two decades, personal Bible study regularly, I will post here, study by study, I have been understanding about "the deep things of God." It is very good, I submit, that if he ate the study staff at the beginning of everything. So, welcome to the Genesis!
 
     Understand not only what we believe but why we believe, that is, the reasons behind our belief strengthens our faith and trust. The Scriptures encourage us to use "YOUR power of reason" to "that YOU may prove to yourselves the good and acceptable and perfect will of God." (Romans 12:1, 2) Therefore, after prayer for the Holy Spirit of God guide me to understand the text, I began to study about "the beginning".

"In the beginning God created... "
      Genesis 1:1 says: "In the beginning (Heb.: Bere shíth) God (Heb.: אלהים [' Elo · him - the gods]) created the heavens and the earth"
