Subject: A look at pronouns: Is (l)Light needed? |
Bible Note: Would you do the same with "God is refuge/rock" (2 Sam 22:2; Psa 18:2), "God is one" (Deu 6:4), "God is good" (1 Tim 4:4), "God is love" (1 John 4:8,16), "God is at hand" (Mar 1:15), "God is nigh" (Luke 10:9,11; 21:31), "God is true" (John 3:33; 2 Cor 1:18), "God is holy" (1 Cor 3:17), etc. There are more, "sun," "shield," "buckler," "strong tower," etc. I'm not trying to be flippant with you, brother Ray. I'm just tyring to make the point clear. If the word "light" is used in a physical sense, then it is only one of many words used that way in revealing the nature of God. If it is used in a figurative sense, then it is only one of many words used that way in revealing the nature of God. Do you begin to see what this is such a difficult task? If you are going to do it with one, you must do it with all of them. Alternatively, if you do it with one, but not another, then you have to justify why it doesn't apply to that word. Again... it may well be worth the effort... but it will be quite a task -- at least in my opinion (and someone else has pointed out if I'm not all wet, I'm at least moist!) :-) |
