February 2 — Brigham Young: God Didn’t Create Anything. Isaiah 44:24 “Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the LORD that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself.”

Did you happen to look at God’s creation today? What did you see? The image above is what my husband Kirk and I saw the other night when we walked out on our front porch. It’d be hard to believe the Lord didn’t create what we saw!
Did you know the majority of Mormons don’t believe God created everything all by Himself? Growing up in Mormonism I was taught it was probable that evolution was how everything came about. Yikes!
Even though Brigham Young lived more than a hundred years ago, they still hold his teachings close to their hearts. Share a truth about creation with them today! Amazing Facts about God

Gorgeous photo. I live in NC. Our sunsets are amazing, too. Hallelujah for an all-powerful God. Because chubby, overly-married BY can’t comprehend something, doesn’t mean anything to me. Isaiah 55:8-9 kind of places BY’s musings in their proper place. They represent hubris and ignorance.
Amen sister!
Yeah, the Lord doesn’t need Photoshop. 😉
All I could think to do was to stop and thank Him for what He blessed us with that evening. No works I could hope to create would come close. The same can be said of His redemptive work.
I listed your great insight with the bible passage that you shared as an example of how He points out the obvious in such simple fashion.
Isaiah 55:8-9 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. 9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.”
If God didn’t create anything, then why in several places in the Bible it says that He did? I guess BY considers the Bible a book of lies.
