Genesis 1:26 (NASB20)
Then God said, “Let Us make mankind in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the livestock and over all the earth, and over every crawling thing that crawls on the earth.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In this scripture is put forth why there is evil in this world….

Seeing how this world was created out of the light and the darkness of the first day…. Man given rule over this created mixture could bring forth what there was to bring forth, that being either the light or the darkness…. If man would bring forth the light, that being the good this world was created out of, the good would be manifested and all the ramifications of that good…. But if man chose to bring forth the evil the same being true, evil would be manifested and all the fruit of that evil….

Case in point;

If man chooses to spend all his income on that which is not profitable and his offspring grows up without, and sees someone who’s parents chose not to spend their income on that which was not profitable but on that which was, covetousness would be brought forth, being, wanting what belongs to another…. Then that one’s offspring sees that one’s lack, and lies, cheats, kills to have that which belongs to another, henceforth lying, cheating, killing would take the place of doing that which is right to bring forth those things that make for life…

Then as generations come and generations go, more and more darkness would be manifested and the fruit of that darkness because man was given rule over this world and could bring forth that which he chose to bring forth, that being either the light or the darkness this world was created out of….

On the other hand if man would choose to bring forth the good and subsequent generations bring forth the good, life and those things that are good for life would be manifested….

Henceforth to this day man has a choice, he can bring forth either the light or the darkness, i.e., the good or the evil…..

To the bringing forth of the light and the good this world was created out of so those things that make for life might be manifested…..


Unto the good be our lives, a fellow follower of His, Not me

Sorry, but where does the God say in the bible that this world was created out of the light and darkness of the first day?

The bible says:

“Then God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light.” (Ge 1:3 NKJV)

It doesn't say that He made the light out of anything.

May you also be blessed!

I am so sorry. I have just been back to your earlier post, and it appears that I misread it (or perhaps you have edited it). Anyway, I don't suppose your present post means that you don't believe light was created by God!

If I edit it it would show I did at the bottom, but blessings to you as you pursue your relationship with our Lord…

A fellow pursuer, Not me
