Bible Question: what is the darkness |
Bible Answer: The darkness is the spiritual obscura that would relegate truth to something less than it is, to relegate the devine to a natural, or at least, a less than devine perception to created entities. Darkness is imperfection with purpose not imposed by devine decree. |
