Welcome to 'The Edge of Heresy' podcast where hosts Clifton Dugosh and Jamie Given explore Christian themes. This episode delves deep into the identity of God as our maker, and our status as His creations, examining how this acknowledgment can align our actions, attitudes, and feelings with His word.

Our discussion references the life of William Tyndale, the renowned English biblical scholar who challenged conventional religious norms. We believe studying Tyndale's teachings offers valuable insights into recognizing God's rightful place as our Creator and understanding His divine design for us.

We look at the recurring emphasis in scriptures on God as the Creator, particularly the repeated verses in Genesis referring to His acts of creation. Through this lens, we explore the purpose and potential of mankind as intentional designs of God.

A highlight of the episode is an examination of the early formation of the church, which often involved power struggles over access to God and interpretation of His word. Those struggles underline the importance of understanding the supremacy and authority of God in establishing unity in worship practices.

Circling back to God's rights as Creator, we affirm that He has total autonomy over His creations, which is fundamental to our lives and our divine calling. We draw comparisons between God's actions and those of worldly creators, providing an unusual perspective on God's sovereignty and wrath.

Drawing inspiration from various sources, including the polytheistic Egyptian culture, we discuss how we sometimes wrongly categorize God and His actions. The Book of Job serves as an excellent case study, offering a unique understanding of God's supreme right over His creation.

This episode encourages listeners to contemplate on their worldview and its alignment to their understanding of God as the creator. It underscores the comfort, hope, and future promised under God's lordship, and the repercussions of not recognizing this divine truth.
