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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest shiloh357 Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 God is light metaphorically, but not literally. He is not physical light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
