The true light of the world ?

[Kan]

We naturally talk about our perceptions of the world as 'material' and 'physical' and then we place the spiritual realm into the metaphorical and poetic, but it is actually the other way around, God is much more 'physical' than all of creation. We stall when that is said, because we have already defined our physicality, and we expect God to be beyond that. True, but our concepts of what is real and physical and tangible are placed above the Lord, while we typically assume that the spiritual is etherical, ghostly, the wind, puffs of cloud etc.

So in order of strength, power, durability and physicality, God is first, then the powers by which He creates such as the Light, then matter last, which is an effect created by all of the above. But fallen man thinks of himself and his world as central in intelligence, material diversity, and order of existence etc. It is this delusion which has prevented further discovery into the true nature of our universe. Man is less than a puff of air compared to God.

The Light by which God created is not Himself, but something which comes from Him. The Bible makes it clear that, the light is a result of the spoken word of God, and that He used this light within creation to produce materials as we experience, including natural electromagnetic waves. Yet the Light which He proclaims Himself to be, shines throughout the universe, it maintains and animates all of creation. Remember this Light is also the Light of Life, and Love or God. So we could say that we are living by the power of Love and that the universe is built and upheld by Love. When the believer receives and reciprocates the love of God, they are connected to the eternal life of Jesus, and as He said they become full of light, not visible to us yet, but in the next life we will see it...

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

Yes, it is really that simple. God and Christ are uncreated light, therefore God could speak light into existence. Too bad Einstein's genius failed him in this very simple matter.
