1 | Darkness: an Effect or Substance? | Gen 1:4 | charis | 5994 | ||
Dear Lionstrong, Darkness has no substance. It is the absence of light. Cold is the absence of heat. Death is the absence of life. Lies are the absence of truth. This absence can affect the substance by dissipating it. I believe that this is a physical answer with valid spiritual implications. Instead...trust the substance of God, and flee the dissipating power of the enemy. In Christ Jesus, charis |

2 | Darkness: an Effect or Substance? | Gen 1:4 | Lionstrong | 6005 | ||
Hi Charis This is my belief too, though the wording here and in Isa 45:7 gives me pause. Thanks, Lionstrong |

3 | Darkness: an Effect or Substance? | Gen 1:4 | charis | 6007 | ||
Dear Lionstrong, "The One forming light and (thereby) creating darkness, Causing well-being and (thereby) creating calamity; I am the Lord who does all these." Isaiah 45:7 NASB (my parentheses) This satisfies me without a lot of mental or spiritual gymnastics :-) Blessings in Jesus, charis |

4 | Darkness: an Effect or Substance? | Gen 1:4 | Lionstrong | 6644 | ||
Satisfaction is a wonderful thing! I notice the insertion of "thereby." While apparently fitting for light and darkness, it does not fit for well-being and calamity. For creating calmity God took active steps, witness, the plagues of Egypt. "Gymnastics" Exercise is a wonderful thing too:-) |

5 | Darkness: an Effect or Substance? | Gen 1:4 | charis | 6648 | ||
Dear Lionstrong, Sorry! I very purposely and carefully inserted 'thereby' between well-being and calamity. You are speaking of physical calamity, i.e. discomfort, even death. I was speaking of our relationship with God. God created 'well-being,' thus defining calamity as the absence of it. In Christ Jesus, charis |
