It is called a metaphor. God is not light. As I have pointed out, and you should already know, God created light.
I take G-s' Word at face value you do not... Can we give big a cyber hug and agree to disagree in the Lord?

You do not take God's Word literally, that much is obvious. You are taking a metaphor and pretending it is true. You are wrong, sinfully so. Repent or...well, you should know that much at least.

P.S. I don't like hugs from people who refuse the truth, and there should be no disagreements in the Lord.

"and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” John 8:32

God already blesses me, I don't need you to say it for it to be real. You are pretending to be holy, but you are just like the actors of Christ's time...a whitened sepulcher...beautiful on the outside but dead inside.

God is not your pagan fantasy, He is the Creator of everything.

AMEN HE IS THE CREATOR OF EVERYTHING!!!! I agree 100% (but we have not talked about yet, you have only told me how I cannot believe Scripture as written... that is wrong)…

MY G-D BLESS YOU AND KEEP YOU AND MAKE HIS FACE SHINE UPON YOU AND GIVE YOU HIS PEACE!!!!

Hmmph. You should open with that instead of claiming that God is light and is growing, or whatever new age similitudes you were stating.

If you are truly of God, you should listen to those that are of God, as their words should ring true to you.

"Remember the word that I said to you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will also keep yours." John 15:20

I quoted Scripture.... What argument do you have with me?

Does the Scripture not fit into your made up mind on what is right and wrong?

satan quoted Scriptures to Christ...twisting them and pulling them out of context...much like the common Christian of today.

Did I do that? What did they say and their context?
Yes, you did. God being light is a metaphor, as should be clear from the reading of the text. The Bible opens with the creation of the universe, by God's spoken Words light sprang forth. Reminds me of people who claim 'God is love' because a verse in the Bible says so...sure, God is love, but He is also just, merciful, vengeful, holy, and many other things. Accuracy matters for science so we can make silly gadgets, how much more important is accuracy concerning matters of the soul?

Great post... When science has caught up with the Word of G-d has it ever proven the Scriptures wrong.... Now there are many things, like the red sea, pillar of salt, … that since has not been able to prove (yet) or disprove... So which is accurate science or G-d's Word?

I see your point G-d is love but the Scripture tells us 7 things He hates... Can G-d be 2 thins at once... like Messiah and still G-d on the throne? Can He be light and the creator of the light you and I see?

Actually, the Bible contains in it advanced scientific notions. Of course, Christendom was seriously led astray in the 1800's and now science is essentially atheistic, and consequently off the rails.

It would take you leaving your bias at the door and reading what the Bible actually says concerning scientific topics, of course...

Saddens me to see Christendom in the state it is in.

Do you think God would allow Himself to be used for pornography, murder, etc (think tv)? I doubt it, so...God is not light, in the literal sense. God is light in the figurative sense, in that He is that which reveals.

If you are asking me to leave my bias, that the Word of G-d is the infallible, inerrant Word of G-d at the door... I cannot do that because my world view, past, present, and future, is only through the leans of 66 Books...

Oh so you are one of those people that believe god is in all creation and all creation is god? I forget what you are called but now you make sense...

False, I am asking you to read the actual words within the Bible instead of presupposing what they say simply because a man in a suit said so from behind a pulpit or in a bestseller.

No, that is what you are saying, I am saying God is separate from us and our reality, as the Bible claims.
