NASB | Genesis 1:3 Then God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Genesis 1:3 And God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light. |
Bible Question: Then God said "LIGHT" and there was light. This is different from the light from the sun, as described later in this chapter. Jesus said I am the light of the world. In genesis 1:3 is this the beginning of holiness? Is this the beginning of THE WAY? |
Bible Answer: n.m.i.c, Greetings and welcome to the forum. It is always important to note context and usage in any study of God's Word we choose to endevor on. In Genesis 1:3,4 Clearly refers to day and night. As you read through the Old Testament,Gospels,and New Testament you will notice numerous coralaries and examples. In the Genesis passage you used is the hebrew word or-light, In John 8:12 we have the greek word phos-light. If you own a good exhaustive concordance,there are a number of them out there,you will be able to find the greek and hebrew words with thier meanings andn explenations. It will help you to find your way through things. Getting back to where we were at we can see the coralery (light)with the Genesis passages And John 8:12. Light dispells darkness. My question to you is what do you mean by the beginning of holiness? The Way if you are refering to the church was on Pentecost. In Christ, lionheart |
