The true light of the world ?

[twinc]

it seems Einstein supposedly stated that he had no idea where light came from and would spend the rest of his life trying to find out but alas and sadly it seems he never did and yet it seems some would have us believe they know - as Christians we know that God is light and Christ is the light of our world - any comments - twinc

What do you mean by light? if you mean electromagnetic radiation, which is physical light, which is the only thing Einstein could mean, clearly God is not that. If you mean the Light of the World, that is some kind of metaphorical language, clearly does not mean physical light, and Einstein wasn't talking about that at all.

 

By the way, Einstein wasn't confused about 'where' light (electromagnetic radiation) comes from. Do you have a specific quote in mind?

If light symbolizes righteousness and goodness then darkness signifies evil and sin.1 John 1:5 God is light there is no darkness at all.Jesus,the sinless Son of God is the "true light" John 1:9.

it is exactly as Jesus said and literally meant that He is the actual/literal light of the world and the colour of the world also viz the painter of the fruits and flowers and the rainbow also - twinc

Since the glory of God is indeed light, why should we doubt that God is Light?  Ultimately all light (physical and spiritual) comes from God or is created by God.  When He said "Let there be light" He created light with just a few words. 

 

As a matter of fact, after the new heavens and the new earth come into existence, God Himself and the Lamb will be the Light of the New Jerusalem, as well as the earth (Rev 21:23).  There will be no need for the sun.

It's from God. God created and controlled it. It's not God.

God is light metaphorically, but not literally.  He is not physical light.
