You are, I think, suggesting that the sun is the light? -nope! The Bible does not say the sun is the light and the Bible says the sun was made by labor, on the 4th day.
The sun refracts the light, as do the stars.
I could care less what the bible says, but the sun, which by the way is a star, creates light and heat because it they are basically gigantic nuclear reactors.
It boggles my mind why anyone would prefer to remain so ignorant.
, but the sun, which by the way is a star, creates light and heat because it they are basically gigantic nuclear reactors.
No, the sun is not a nuclear reactor. It is a created light refractor, and the ancients said it is built of [rock] crystal [tesselated, says Enoch], and it is the place where God set His created temple for His created throne in the created heaven; and that is Bible doctrine; "in the sun hath He set His tabernacle".
I wrote this on another board, about the Bible doctrine of the temple of YHWH set in the sun, which is where Jesus Christ sits on His throne, today, too];
Quote:
Isaiah 18:4 in the Hebrew is just as plain; There is a created temple in the created heavens called "His dwelling place, the dazzling hot sun" from where God rests and scans intently, looks down upon, the doings of specific sons of Adam -Isaiah 18:4, in the Hebrew.
The inhabitants of earth are as grasshoppers in His sight, from His throne set in the dazzling hot sun.
Enoch's visit to His created temple in His created heaven shows a "tesselated" crystal house surrounded by bands of fire, which Enoch went through to the temple. In that temple Enoch said there were no delights of life [it is not in Paradise, the City of God, then] and it was "hot as fire and cold as ice".
Above the created temple, Enoch viewed a heaven like clear water, where was the paths of the stars "above" that Holy of Holies in the heavenly temple which Enoch visited in the vision.
Enoch chapter 14 And I went in till I drew nigh to a wall which is built of crystals and surrounded by tongues of fire: and it began to affright 10 me. And I went into the tongues of fire and drew nigh to a large house which was built of crystals: and the walls of the house were like a tesselated floor (made) of crystals, and its groundwork was 11 of crystal. Its ceiling was like the path of the stars and the lightnings, and between them were 12 fiery cherubim, and their heaven was (clear as) water. A flaming fire surrounded the walls, and its 13 portals blazed with fire. And I entered into that house, and it was hot as fire and cold as ice: there 14 were no delights of life therein: fear covered me, and trembling got hold upon me. And as I quaked 15 and trembled, I fell upon my face. And I beheld a vision, And lo! there was a second house, greater 16 than the former, and the entire portal stood open before me, and it was built of flames of fire. And in every respect it so excelled in splendour and magnificence and extent that I cannot describe to 17 you its splendour and its extent. And its floor was of fire, and above it were lightnings and the path 18 of the stars, and its ceiling also was flaming fire. And I looked and saw therein a lofty throne: its appearance was as crystal, and the wheels thereof as the shining sun, and there was the vision of 19 cherubim. And from underneath the throne came streams of flaming fire so that I could not look 20 thereon. And the Great Glory sat thereon,
Chapter 71]
1 And it came to pass after this that my spirit was translated
And it ascended into the heavens:
And I saw the holy sons of God.
They were stepping on flames of fire:
Their garments were white [and their raiment],
And their faces shone like snow.
2 And I saw two streams of fire,
And the light of that fire shone like hyacinth,
And I fell on my face before the Lord of Spirits.
3 And the angel Michael [one of the archangels] seized me by my right hand,
And lifted me up and led me forth into all the secrets,
And he showed me all the secrets of righteousness.
4 And he showed me all the secrets of the ends of the heaven,
And all the chambers of all the stars, and all the luminaries,
Whence they proceed before the face of the holy ones.
5 And he translated my spirit into the heaven of heavens,
And I saw there as it were a structure built of crystals,
And between those crystals tongues of living fire.
6 And my spirit saw the girdle which girt that house of fire,
And on its four sides were streams full of living fire,
And they girt that house.
7 And round about were Seraphin, Cherubic, and Ophannin:
And these are they who sleep not
And guard the throne of His glory.
8 And I saw angels who could not be counted,
A thousand thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand,
Encircling that house. And Michael, and Raphael, and Gabriel, and Phanuel,
And the holy angels who are above the heavens, Go in and out of that house.
Rev 11:19 And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.
Rev 14:15And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe. Rev 14:17And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle. Rev 15:5 And after that I looked, and, behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened:
Rev 19:17And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;
Look at Numbers 25:4. I deleted all the words added for understanding, and look at what is left. Num 25:4LORDsaid [unto] Moses,Takeheadspeople,upbeforeYHWHsun,fierceangerLORDawayIsrael.
When the sun rose, the heads of the people were hung up before YHWH , whose habitation -His dwelling/temple- is in the sun, and His anger was turned away from Israel.
There's too much evidence to discard that indeed, God means what the Word does say in the original in this matter.
The glory and fire of the created sun is an example/type, of the Glory of God. Mal 4:2 But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. 1Ti 6:16 Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom [be] honour and power everlasting. Amen.
Mat 17:2 And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.
Mat 13:43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Dan 12:3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.
Now open it up to the first part , and the story of genesis.
You there?...
good.
Now what we all want to do first is find out what the bible says is the first thing God made in the beginning and while we are at it, compare this answer to what science teaches was the first thing (or things) that were made?
So what does the text say?
(Not what do you think it means, lets just stick with what the text says)
If that junk were in the bible I would have tossed mine away years ago.
And if such teachings were part of the christian faith?...count me out!!!
But as that stuff is not in the Bible, and is not any part of the christian faith, we are safe...
