What is light?

[yomotalking]

It reminds me of the verse that says about there will be no sun...moon..or stars....

...in Heaven...

I'll miss the glorious sunset.....but I'll be in something better.

So I invite you to read Psalms 112:4

And John chapter 1 1-11

1 timothy 6

John 8:12

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

All of those explain that Jesus is light and is The Light, but again, like I said earlier the statement God makes by saying "Let there be light" is saying that He created it there and then. So that light cannot be Jesus otherwise He wouldn't be the Alpha and Omega and part of God.

Light is the opposite of heavy.

[MrLuke]

From recent observations, it looks like it was superfluidic... like a fluid made of quarks with no friction

If that is indeed true, then it could fit in with God separating the "waters below from the waters above" ?

An interesting theory.

Ge 1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

Ge 1:4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

Ge 1:5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

Think about this, this happened on the first day, without a sun or moon ( days later) but yet there was light and darkness, and a divided light from darkness, now would a 'day' be light and dark without the sun?

[Guest Zayit]

When Egypt was in such total darkness for three days , so dark they couldn't move, yet Israel had light, "within her dwellings".

Where did that light come from?

10:21

And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt.

10:22

And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven; and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days:

10:23

They saw not one another, neither rose any from his place for three days: but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.

Familiar with this?

Ps 27:1 The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

How about this one?

Ps 36:9 For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.

Ps 119:105

NUN. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

Isa 9:2

The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined.

Isa 10:17

And the light of Israel shall be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame: and it shall burn and devour his thorns and his briers in one day;

John speaks of that light:

Joh 1:9

That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

Joh 5:35

He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.

Contrast that with:

Genesis 15 Abraham is given the promise:15:5

And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.

15:6

And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness.

15:7

And he said unto him, I am the LORD that brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this land to inherit it.

15:8

And he said, Lord GOD, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it ?

you can go read the interveining verses

15:17

And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces.

15:18

In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:
