1 | 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 |

2 | 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 |

3 | 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:-) |

4 | 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 |
