Creation

[Fletcher]

On the first day God created light. On the fourth day God created the sun and the moon. From where did the light come on day one. I believe in the litteral translation of creation. This question of light puzzles me. Does anyone have an opinion on this?

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

Genesis 1:16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: [he made] the stars also

Fletcher,

The question of light is only a difficult one because you want it to be. For those of us who believe in a literal translation of Genesis, it isn't difficult at all.

God said, "Let there be light, and there was." For me there is no trouble at all because I believe that my God is big enough to create something and sustain it without the help of the sun, moon, stars, or any other light producing object to sustain it outside of Himself.

No worries for me.

In Him.

Good question, Flech.

Good question.

I'm waiting for answers too.

I do not have any doubt that it occured and it does not worry me. I am simply curious as to the purpose of the light. Did God need to see to create the rest of the world? (Ha Ha). Where is this light now? Is this light mentioned again in scripture? The question is not difficult for me. I have no questions as to the ability of God to create light without a source and I do think it is mentioned again in Revelations.

I believe it was Jesus.

He did say that He was the LIGHT of the world.

"God said, 'Let there be light.' . . ."

I believe it was Jesus.

You mean that Jesus wasn't before then?

The light on day one came from Jesus Himself.

<John 8:12>

"Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, 'I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life."

Jesus tells us he will be the light of the New Jerusalem:

<Rev. 21:23>

"The city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it, for the glory of God illuminated it. The Lamb is its light."

The sun was created on the fourth day so men would worship the true light of the world and not the sun. At least, that is what was supposed to happen. But man didn't see it that way. Many people and cultures sank into sun worship.

In Christ,

After the big bang the whole universe was very different and according to theoretical mathmatics the present laws of physics that we understand are not even valid.

Light is basically energy waves that happen to be in the frequency that we can see.

I think basically God created all this energy and the energy was days later transformed into matter to make the things we see today within the universe (see the teachings of Mr. Einstine to see how this is done).

Really no big deal for someones like the Lord and the Father.

Caroline S,

Matthew 11:25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.

Matthew 16:17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.

I hope you understand what I am saying.

Blessings,

Dad Ernie

Thanks for the responses. I considered the "Jesus is the light" However, I do not think Jesus nor the Holy Spirit were created. I thought the Holy Trinity has always existed. Some one correct me if I am wrong. I do think it is an interesting topic but not all important such as the way to salvation.
