Why I Wouldn't Call God Architect of the Universe

• God planned the universe, but also actually made it. Singlehandedly. An architect often plans a building and tells the actual builders what to do.
• An architect often serves the first owner of the ground and then doesn't own the land or the house after it has been built. God still owns the universe.
• Freemasons, who are no real Christians, speak of their god as the "Great Architect of the Universe."
• No verse in the Bible says God "built the world" ... Genesis 2 says God built Eve and Hebrews 3 says God built Moses and the Church.

The Universe owes God more than just the building process, the things to which God is builder are in a way so much more than the universe./HGL

PS, Hebrews 3:4 could be seen as a counterexample, as English "create" and "build" are the same verb in Greek. However, "kataskeuazo" means more like "set up" or "make ready" from the root noun "skeuos" meaning "gear". Only in Genesis 2 do we find ᾠκοδόμησεν, with an "oikodomeo" related to "oikos" or "house" ... to St. Thomas, God is like an instrument maker who builds an instrument and then himself plays it. While "oikodomeo" in Hebrews 3 wouldn't leave room for this, "kataskeuazo" does./HGL
