Subject: What light was created on day one? |
Bible Note: Hello mommapbs, After some time to ponder on these things, certain other questions have come forward. You said: "I don't know if "created" is the proper word" Well, we are talking about creation aren't we? Like in six days! Or don't we count the first day? You said: "an interesting concept to consider: dividing of the light from the darkness . . . could this be the separation of Lucifer and his followers as a result of their rebellion?" Again this answer has nothing to do about creation of the earth. You said: "So where did the light come from for them to grow and reproduce?" If they were made infant plants on day five Adam would have nothing to eat on day six. Do plants grow, mature and reproduce in one day? No, they were made mature. i.e. which came first, the chicken or the egg? You need the chicken to get the egg. Gen 1:11 "...the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself..." Not the seed yielding a tree, but the tree yielding a seed. But, anyway, thank you for your answers. As asking God what He meant by these words I have come to the conclusion that they mean exaclty what they say. He created light. He created the, if you will, the mechanics or physics of the laws of light. And since we comprehend most things by how we see them it is with light that these things are understood. For a blind person from birth has no concept of exactly how a tree looks. Without light creation would be formless to us. It has been said that the eye is the entrance to the brain. Then He created the heavenly bodies to use these laws and to emit that light upon the earth. I understand your spiritual meanings, but these things mentioned in Genesis are physical. In the beginning God created... Peace to you. compudex |
