CAN I GET A WITNESS USING SCRIPTURE ALONE?Hyla wrote:Gentlemen... Please, allow me to clear this matter up a bit for you. In Genesis 1:3-5, Day 1 of Creation, God created Light! This was NOT the "Sun," which was made on Day 4 of Creation! The Light is indicative of "intelligence" and "knowledge." Jesus is The Word and God Spoke everything into Creation through The Word which was also the Light! Note the numerous verses in The Bible that state Jesus is the Light! John 1:1-18 makes this clear. The sun, moon, and stars were made on Day 4 of Creation, as in Genesis 1:14-19. They were made for signs and for "seasons" which actually means "appointed times" (NOT spring and fall). The words for "evening" and "morning" are "erev" and "boker" consecutively and are indicative of a decrease vs. an increase in entropy or chaos as much as for dusk vs. dawn. This just shows that each "evening and morning" was a more ordered, organized, and intelligible universe during the Creation. If you are confused by how the plants and trees could exist before the "sun," as they were made on Day 3 of Creation, then, please, note Revelation 7:16 (Read verses 13-17 for context) where it is obvious that the "sun" is not necessary because there will be no sun. In all honesty, it is important to understand the Hebrew words translated into English. More important though is that a good understanding of complex SCIENCE helps Genesis read more accurately and understandably.***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** *****Gil replied:Hyla, You quoted "Day 1 of Creation, God created Light!" Yet, you also quoted: "Jesus is The Word and God Spoke everything into Creation through The Word which was also the Light!" Hyla, I agree with you, that God created everything through His Word (aka Jesus), because Jesus "is God and God is Jesus." John 1:3 All things were made by Him; and without Him was not any thing made that was made.So Hyla, if God is Jesus, The Word, then how did God create Jesus on the 1st day if Jesus is The creator, God's Word? I totally disagree with you, Hyla, on that God created Jesus, when Jesus is the Creator. Now, Hyla, I do agree that Jesus is The Light as said in John 8:12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, "I am the light of the world:" he that followeth Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. (The knowledge of LIFE, Jesus.) 1 John 1:5 This then is the message which we have heard of Him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in Him is no darkness (untruth) at all. John 1:4 In Him (GOD/JESUS/LIGHT) was life; and the life was the light of men. (GOD, THE GIVER OF LIFE/KNOWLEDGE) Hyla, you also quote: "If you are confused" by how the plants and trees could exist before the "sun," as they were made on Day 3 of Creation, then, please, note Revelation 7:16 (Read verses 13-17 for context) where it is obvious that the "sun" is not necessary because there will be no sun. *** #1. Hyla, I cannot be confused... 1 Corinthians 14:33 "For God is not the author of confusion," but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. If you're confused, then you need to stop relying on man-made studies (complex SCIENCE).*** You Hyla also quoted: In all honesty, it is important to understand the Hebrew words translated into English. More important though is that a good "understanding of "complex SCIENCE" helps Genesis read more accurately and understandably." *** SMH and LOL, WHAT? Are you kidding me Hyla? Listen carefully to God's Written Word... 2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 2 Timothy 3:17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. John 14:26 But the Comforter, "which is the Holy Ghost," whom the Father will send in My name (Jesus), He shall "teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you." 1 John 2:27 But the anointing (The Holy Ghost) which ye have received of Him (JESUS) abideth in you, and "ye need not that any man (aka MAN_MADE COMPLEX SCIENCE) teach you:" but as the same anointing (The Holy Ghost) "teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in Him." So Hyla, get off my post with your Satanic, demonic interpretation of "GOD'S WRITTEN WORD!!!
