Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
2 The earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters.
3 Then God said, "Let there be light";and there was light.
4 God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light day, and the darkness He called night And there was evening and there was morning, one day.
Genesis 1:14 Then God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and years;
15 and let them be for lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth"; and it was so. 16 God made the two great lights, the greater light to govern the day, and the lesser light to govern the night; He made the stars also.
17 God placed them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth,
18 and to govern the day and the night, and to separate the light from the darkness; and God saw that it was good. 19 There was evening and there was morning, a fourth day.
Since we know from scripture that God did not create the sun, moon and stars until the 4th day of creation, what light was created on the very first day?

OH?
So you think that the Bible says that God made the sun on the 4th day?
Better go back to that part and read it again...look for the word "sun"
(Its not there, the Bible does not say that the sun was made on the 4th day)
R U kidding me....read vs. 16...what do yo think the two great lights are if not the sun & moon?
I think that "light" is light...
I think that if God had wanted you to believe that he made the "sun" on the 4th day then Im sure he would have had that written down...but He didn't...
So He doesn't....
I do not believe that God wants us to believe that He made the "sun" on the 4th day...

today it is raining outside...so once again Im off to work and get to play all day on my computer (Mumms the word to my wife)
I got up today at 5:00 this morning and it was dark and raining.
Then about 7:30 it got "light" outside...
Have I seen the "sun"?...no
Will I see the sun today?...no
But I will see the "light" of the sun?....yes, though the rain clouds the light of the sun is still seen even if the sun is never seen.
So there is a big difference between "light" and the "sun"?...oh yes
...you can see one without seeing the other, they are not the same force of nature...they are connected on context, but not the same.

What is the difference between the two lights of vs. 3 & vs. 16?
Therefore the use in the Bible of the term "light" should always be in the context that we are not talking about "the sun"
The light of the sun is not the sun...
The sun is a star that is billions of years old
The light is a visible form of the radiation of a star...it is subject to many other forces, such as "clouds",,,
EXAMPLE:
when you stand in a shadow, do you destroy the sun?...No, you just have blocked the light of the sun from hitting you.
The sun is not effected at all.
so there is a big difference between the light of the sun and what can effect it being seen on the earth, and the star known as the sun....
ask any questions, this is a good topic for conversation (has nothing to do with UR)
