The Confessions of Our Faith (11 of 13)

What is He saying here. He is saying that the worlds were framed by the word of God so that things which are seen are not made of things which do appear. In other words, everything we see was made of things which are invisible. Now when you read the creative account in the Book of Genesis, you are going ...
