Does Light Form Darkness?

[Humble Penny]

It's very possible the enemy has confused you to the point of starting such an absurd thread. It may tickle a few ears (i doubt it). However, it does zero, zilch, nada to further the advancement of His Word on earth. If anything this thread you started detracts from His Word.

Darkness is equated with evil in both the TaNaKh and the Brit Chadashah.

"And there will no longer be any night; and they will not have need of the light
of a lamp nor the light of the sun, because the Lord God will Illumine them;"
​

You (as well as HP) fail to grasp Spiritual significance of Genesis 1:4 ... "He separated the Light from the darkness"

And God said, “Let there be Light,” and there was Light.
God saw that the Light was good, and He separated the Light from the darkness.


​

The title of this thread is Does Light Form Darkness? HARK! wasn't saying that darkness creates light but that the Light of YHWH was vibrating in the darkness. HARK! was trying to reconcile how darkness could be formed by light if the modern understanding of how darkness is formed is to be true.

Does Light Form Darkness?

It was a question and i answered it as being a fooish absurd question.
Darkness is equated with evll and the absence of His Light

I assumed the OP posted this thread because he didn't have anything more enlightening to start as a new thread OR the OP wanted to see who was gullible enuf to fall for "Does Light Form Darkness?" OR the Op has been reading a secular article(s) by men that he views as highly intellegent as viewed by secular humanism. There will always be those that get sucked into such a foolish idea when more aligned with the enemy than with the LORD. His Word says that such darkness (blindness) will be more prevalent in the last days.

Thus it's possible the OP wanted to see who might be deceived by such nonsense
being just another 'intelletual' manmade premise ... like that of 'evolution'.
Proverbs 26:12
Do you see a man wise in his own eyes?
There is more hope for a fool than for him.​

Unfortunately there are both Christians and Messianics that can fall into spiritual darkness. Some mistakingly think they have to accept secular theories of so-called 'intellignt' secular mankind.

God forbid that they be looked upon as a simpleton and belittled for believing in His Holy Word.
Thus some mistakingly believe by appealing to man's 'intellect' that astronomy and
chronology will advance His kingdom more than the Good News of the Gospels.

We don't need proof of His resurrection as it's by Faith that we are saved.

"See, darkness covers the earth
and thick darkness is over the peoples,"
... but look up ...
"Nations will come to Your Light,
and kings to the Brightness of Your Dawn."

John 1:1-3
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
He was in the beginning with God.
All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being.
John 1:14
And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.​

Shalom AbbaLove, it's been a while, good to see you are still posting here. I hope all is well with you and yours.

I don't understand what seems to be a hostility toward the OP, but as I said above, it's been a while, and since I am not really qualified to answer physics questions, I guess I'll move along and keep my nose out of it, lol.

This really isn't a physics question, so much as it is a linguistics question.

Okay, well the first man Adam was formed, (also yatzar, like a potter forming clay), but where is this one found? That's Genesis 2:7, not the first creation account but the second. Howbeit, (regardless of how it is written because there are certainly important reasons for why it is written the way it is), that which is natural is first, then the spiritual, and thus Elohim cut down the heavens and the earth: for He is in the habit of renewing His people when things go astray. This understanding can clearly be seen in Isaiah 45 if indeed one is willing to see it.

Isaiah 45:7-8
7 I form light and cut down darkness: I make peace and cut down evil: I YHWH do all these things.
8 Drop down, O heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open up, and let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together: I YHWH have cut-down-created it.

Isaiah 45:12-13
12 I have made the earth, and cut down man [or Adam] upon it: I, even My hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded.
13 I have raised him up in righteousness, [Genesis 1:26-27] and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let go my captives, not for price nor reward, says YHWH Tzabaoth.

cut down darkness:

I can see where "cut" might be interpreted"

Why not use כרת?

Spread makes more sense for this verse:

(CLV) Gn 2:8
Yahweh Elohim planted a garden in Eden, fin the east, and there He put the human whom He had formed.

Hmmm, while karath may be used for cutting off heads, (as in 1 Samuel 17:51 and 1 Samuel 31:9), bara would be more like cutting down trees to build a house, (hence, create).

Are you suggesting a relationship between the tzaddi in yatzar and the letter zayin by what you have posted?

My mistake.

I have nothing for the parent root of Yatzar.


Unless the parent root is Tzadhe Resh; but the definition of that parent root doesn't seem to fit.

However yatzar was used in reference to light. Ashah was used in reference to darkness.

I don't have have much on this word.

No worries, I don't claim Hebrew scholar status, and try not to go around chopping heads off, and plan to continue in my own "ever learning" status.
