I know the truth but I don't work in it,.
The spirit is eager but the flesh is weak

BackllGodNaija:
A good thing that you've already exposed your ignorance of the truth from the other thread, so I can understand where you're coming from. It's obvious you know the letters, but a certainty you lack knowledge of the truth! And without the knowledge of the truth, the sum-total of all you know equates to ignorance in truth.

You asked me to read the explanation of other apostles concerning the biblical account of creation as though it was exclusive to them.

You can't read to know the truth, because that knowledge can only be given by God. So ask God to give you that knowledge, so that you'd be set free from the bondage your ignorance of the truth.

kingxsamz:
Please tell us how God stopped the Sun and the moon as stated in the Bible.

BackllGodNaija:
If you really know the Truth it would set you free.

John 8:32
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

So ask God to help you know the Truth, if you're truly willing to walk in it. He alone can give that knowledge.

Walk:
Stop mentioning me, please.

BackllGodNaija:
Why not first allow the truth you've learnt here first to digest before you ask for another? You don't want to suffer from knowledge indigestion do you?

The same God that revealed this truth to me is more than able to also reveal that of what you are asking me.

kingxsamz:


Answer the question or waka pass, abeg.

Inteltower:
thanks for that revelational truth you just shared.
I read that part of Genesis few days ago and I was amazed that there was a light before the sun.

your write up gave further insights and the stack truth

God is great as even the lay man would understand brilliant work

the stupidity of atheist I don't get

let's just keep preaching & teaching the gospel.
edifying ourselves and sharing this light of truth abroad

God be praised
Christ be praised
Holy spirit be praised

obonujoker:
Thanks for this insight...

Nairaland hungry atheists will keep getting dumber daily

You sabi Bible.

Sir i like your zeal, however it is without knowledge.

Apostle Paul and John already explained genesis 1. What are u even saying?

Read the epistles well oga.

FatherOfJesus:
You come up with this when you failed basic physics and biology in school.

FatherOfJesus:
Dude, the only source of light in the solar system is And has the sun. No history ofofny other light.

why not read a little more of biology and physics texbooks to help you know that you can't create a sun after a plant. That wasn't how I created it, whoever wrote the bible was high on alomo

sotall:
Another unintelligent defense!

There is no significant difference between what happened on the first day of creation and the fourth day .

Except God made a mistake on the first day, why repeating what he has already done?

On first day...he created light and separated it from darkness. Then called the light day and darkness night.


Then fourth day created another two lights which he also named day and night.

How does this add up?


For we know that majority of the light that reaches earth comes from the sun. And at night, the light from the moon is a reflection of the sun's light.
There is another type of light which is the light of stars which is insignificant to us.


Now my question to the original poster, where is the light God created on the first day if the sun (the light responsible for Day and night) was created on 4th day?

Dtruthspeaker:


If he knew would he not make his own sun and moon like if your phone knew how to make a car E no go do am?

Dtruthspeaker:


See, you do not know the difference between a defence and a presentation.


"For we know that majority of the light that reaches earth comes from the sun. And at night, the light from the moon is a reflection of the sun's light.

Light moves in straight lines so, how can the moon's light have any value when it blocked by obstacles like the cloud or buildings?

kingxsamz:


Bravo, you're very brilliant.
In your mind you've come up with the best, most intelligent analogy.
Bravo once again.

Dtruthspeaker:


Thank you thank you thank you very much This is too much Praises!

The moon doesn't have any light of its own.
It only reflects the sun's light.

As for your last question...
It depends on the condition of the atmosphere. When it's very cloudy..the reflection from the moon can be blocked and it depends on the location from where you are observing the moon.

Dtruthspeaker:


Dude how do you see, in your house when the sun is on the other side of the world?

Mr. Physics and biology, can light go through an opaque obstacle not to talk of a wal? Do your own experiment, Carry flood light and put behind your house, see if you can catch any spectrum of light in the house, not to talk of a usable one!

FatherOfJesus:
Lol, you are even stupider than I thought

BackllGodNaija:

Genesis 1:16-19
And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

So this was where the sun came into the picture. It was the greater light that God made to rule over the day, while the moon which was the lesser light was made to rule over the night, therefore the night was no longer total darkness for it now had its own light. And God also made the other lights called the stars which we see at night also.

Lastly, someone else brought up an argument of the moon not being a light as it was called in the above passage, but only a reflection of light, but I assumed that the person couldn't comprehend what it meant to be a lesser light than the sun. Perhaps the person should just try and remove the moon from the sky first, if that's what it'd take for him to understand how the moon itself is a light.

A lesser light could mean the reflection of a greater light, just as Jesus was the greater light of the world, while His disciples who were a reflection of His light, were also said to be light of the world.

For there to be the possibility of having a light that would suit the idea of providing light for the night and still retaining the darkness, it had to be the reflection of a greater light. And that was exactly what God made the moon to be in the beginning.

I think these answers should suffice for those asking such questions concerning the biblical account of the light(s) that God made in the beginning.

God bless Nigeria.

sotall:


Just one question for ya...

Based on scientific facts: There is only significant source of light that reaches the earth. This is the light from the sun. . It is not two three or four lights as described in the creation story

Apart from the light of the sun, can you tell me where the other lights are as described in that day 1 and day 4 of creation?

BackllGodNaija:
As I said already, the light on day 1 was the source of all lights made on day 4. The light was modified to become the sun (the greater light made to replace it for the day), the moon (the lesser light made to provide light for the night) and also the stars.

The sun and moon are both recognized by Science as the two most significant lights and light sources for the earth as was stated in the Biblical account of creation, and science also knows about the stars. Science wasn't there when the light was made on day 1 and modified on day 4 to become these lights, so do not expect science to know anything about it.

It's the Creator who was there and who made these lights that revealed them to those of His own, so do not expect His knowledge of the lights He made to be limited as that of science.

As for the moon being called a light in the biblical account despite being a reflection of sunlight, that's not out of place, because the moon has the capacity to either emit or reflect light. That's why the light it gives Is not called sunlight but moonlight.

sotall:


Where did you see modify in the bible?
I guess you were there to know it was another light that was modified to become the sun.

How most of you religious apologists turn liars and cherry-picking con-artists to defend the obvious halftruths and errors in the bible.

This is ridiculous! Tueerr!
