Nice write up but if we want to conclude that the light God created in Gen 1:3 was from him, then we must be wrong, God himself is light and therefore does not need to say "let there be light" before there will be light.(If we conclude that way). He said let there be light and there was light, that light came into existence as a result of the word God spoke and that makes it a creation of God, the light of God is not created because God himself is light and therefore doesn't need to create something that already exists, God commanded light to shine out of darkness just simply means God spoke his word to bring light when there was no light(darkness is just a word used to describe absence of light). The light God created in gen 1:3 must be a created light(maybe Sun or not) but its not the light of God. Gen 3:16 as i think must be referring to how that light that was created in gen 1;3 was made into sun and moon(to make means to form by putting parts together or combining substances), so the sun and moon were made from that light which God has created earlier, the sun and the moon was just to make distinct lights to the night and day and for signs, seasons and days, the sun and moon both originated from the light that has earlier been created in gen 1:3. Note that its possible for the sun to be darkened and that's an evidence that its not the light that was created in gen 1:3, if that light created in gen 1:3 was of God, then when there is an eclipse of the sun, there should still be a light from God shining but no its the light that was created in gen 1:3 that was made to the sun and the moon in gen 1:16 or can God's light be made into sun and moon? If yes then God wouldn't have light anymore according to the meaning of made/make i gave above. You are NOT far from the kingdom of our dear GOD. I have thought and reasoned with the Holy Spirit that by the meaning of make/form, what is the sun, moon and stars made from? The only answer I got was from this light of Gen.1:3. And also, the purpose of the light in 1:3 was to be used to make day and night by separating them while the purpose of the lightS in 1:16 was to be for signs and season. Thanks for the contribution. |

Goshen360: Bro Olaadegbu,
Na wha for you o, lolz. Nobody says "let there be light" is NOT the FIRST word spoken by God. We are simple saying/asking, is it the first thing created by God? Abi water no dey for verse two? shey na because God didn't say "let there be water" na eim no make you understand say water water existed before light?  I wasn't challenging your post, nevertheless, 'let there be light' was the first word spoken by God in the Bible. The first thing created is another kettle of fish. |
