Image123: For posterity sake as it were, If I uderstand you well, on the first day god created light in general. then on the fourth day he assigned missions to these lights. right? |

Logic Mind: Question is what KIND of LIGHT was created on the First Day? The Light Was Day and the Dark was Night. Assigning Missions to Light is exactly not creation is it? The Sun(actually a star), Moon and Stars were created on the fourth day. |
Re: Which Light Did God Create On The First Day? by LogicMind: 7:53pm On Jun 02, 2012 |
mrmayor: ok i got you day one he created day & night day 4 he created sun, moon and stars. |
Re: Which Light Did God Create On The First Day? by mrmayor(m): 8:03pm On Jun 02, 2012 |
Logic Mind: No Sir you did not get me, going by the bible story Light was created twice, first on the first day and called Day and Night. On the fourth day Light was created again only this time Energy emitting Star ( Our Sun)and Moon were created. Distinction between Day and Night is Sun Light. |
Re: Which Light Did God Create On The First Day? by LogicMind: 8:29pm On Jun 02, 2012 |
mrmayor: you were making a bit of sense before but this time i'm most confused. there are two types of light? or did god do the same thing twice? was the day one light faulty? your explanation is not clear. |

Let us step aside from reading the Bible "As is" The First Light could be the Big Bang that wrought the Universe(s) as we don't know it. After all a being like God would not need light to see since all he needed to do was harbor the thought and it came to being. Energy was the First Light |

Logic Mind:Partially, only that God did not 'create' light on the first day. He only made it appear by speaking the Word. |

@ Logic Mind, I told you I will not give you answer because you are one of those that mock and don't believe in our God. So why come to us for an answer? I don't like to jump into Atheist's thread, that is why you won't often see me in a thread by an Atheist but you can as well be following side-by-side with this your own thread from this other thread: https://www.nairaland.com/976020/why-many-even-bible-scholars. They both are relevant. @ Image123, Nice explanation BUT I might spice it up very well ONLY if this "yeye" Logic Mind will STOP mocking our God and convert to Christianity and possible send me an Apostolic offerings Abi Oga Image123, we suppose start dey collect Apostolic offerings from ALL these Atheists for explaining the things of our God they often mock. What you think? Make I explain to them or let them keep searching What do you think |

Certain topics will always repeat. . . From much earlier on NL: vedaxcool:Science believes what science believes, but the Word of Yahweh is sure, settled and established forever! Just a little thought on your part would have shown you that even your science agrees that light exists apart from and is distinct from the sun. aletheia: Wikipedia: Wikipedia: |

aletheia: Certain topics will always repeat. . . Thank you Aleth. Sometimes it seems to me that depth of thought is only to be found amongst much older members of this forum. Sorry to say that though. Might come across bad. Just the way it seems. This thread has been piffled with nonsense until Aleth came along. |
Re: Which Light Did God Create On The First Day? by aletheia(m): 2:13pm On Jul 05, 2012 |
Deep Sight:Thank you for the kind words. . .it does seem that the quality of posts in the religious section has declined. As you rightly pointed out: lacking in depth. |
Re: Which Light Did God Create On The First Day? by InesQor(m): 2:14am On Jul 06, 2012 |
I always saw the "Light" in verse 3 as an "enablement" or "framework" prior to other things existing. Like the way you turn on an electric light switch to "enable" you see and do other things. But here goes Aletheia: aletheia: Certain topics will always repeat. . . Aha, I can't but agree. Nothing more may really need to be said. |

InesQor: I always saw the "Light" in verse 3 as an "enablement" or "framework" prior to other things existing. Like the way you turn on an electric light switch to "enable" you see and do other things. The above is NOT true with/about God for God who created the darkness and the light sees even in the dark/darkness. He does need light to "enable" Him see and do what He wants to do. He only created that light in Gen.1:3 to prove He is the source of light and to make day/night - First day. Daniel 2:22 He reveals deep and hidden things; he knows what lies in darkness, and light dwells with him. Yea, the darkness hides not from you; but the night shines as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to you. Ps.139:12 Kjv |
Re: Which Light Did God Create On The First Day? by InesQor(m): 7:15am On Jul 06, 2012 |
@Goshen360: Thanks for sharing your views, just as I shared mine. I used "enable" within quotes because there was no other word to explain what I was trying to describe. Maybe a better way to say it would have been "laying a foundation for things to come". Anyways, as I already said, BUT Aletheia already answered better than I could have. |

Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. heaven = space, universe. Gen 1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. Could it be that the light of genesis 1:3 is the Light of God. God gave His light to the world. Gen 1:14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: Gen 1:15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. Gen 1:16 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. Gen 1:17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, Gen 1:18 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. In verse one God created the heaven and He gave His light to the world, verse 3. Now in verse 14 God is putting lights in heaven, the sun moon and stars. Verse 1 God created the heaven, verse 14 God puts lights inthe heaven, sun moon and stars. In the beginning the light of the world was God until He made the sun moon and stars, in the end the light of the world will again be God. Rev 21:23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. Rev 21:24 And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it. Rev 22:5 And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever. |

The reason for the confusion about the verses quoted is most of the posters are factoring in a 24 hour time frame of night and day, ie using an earth-centric pov to examine genesis. |

Dantedasz: I think it's the same person going around with different user ids trying to throw underhand jabs: noose, thief, your mama smelling pussy like dead rat, etc. Grow up, stop giving Nigeria a bad name, doesn't make you look good. This person watches for my posts, then says something idiotic. Probably the same one who cloned my moniker and also the one searching for husband, so called. Desperation sha. |

Come to think of it how can there be day and night without the sun? |
