1:3 ¶ And God said, Let there be
light: and there was light.
Sound
passing through water causes light in a process called Sonoluminescence, as the
experimental science which produced Sonar showed us.
Here
are the three parts of God in verses one, two, and three. In verse one there is
God the Father, the soul of God, so to speak, the seat of will and
self-identity.
Psalm
11:5 The LORD trieth the righteous: but
the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.
In
verse two we have the Spirit of God, His particular vehicle for acting upon and
through His creation, also called the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Ghost as God
Himself as already pointed out.
Here,
in verse three, we have God’s spoken Word, the beginning of all life, the
origin of life, the beginning of light, and the origin of light. Here, the
universe is being created, the UNI-VERSE, one spoken sentence. God is the author of it, the authority of it, as my wife, Beth, pointed out to me.
John
1:1 ¶ In the beginning was the Word, and
the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2
The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him
was not any thing made that was made. 4
In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5 ¶
And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
The
Lord Jesus Christ, as any reading of John will attest to, is the Word. He is
the physical image of God, the body of God, if you will, so we have three parts
of one God; soul, body, and spirit.
Colossians
1:15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:…2:9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the
Godhead bodily.
Hebrews
1:3 Who being the brightness of his
glory, and the express image of his
person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by
himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
John
14:9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been
so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father;
and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?
Three
parts to one God with one will, not three individual persons with separate
wills.
Deuteronomy
6:4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is
one LORD:
John
10:30 I and my Father are one.
Isaiah 63:9 In all their affliction he was afflicted, and
the angel of his presence saved
them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bare them, and
carried them all the days of old.
Galatians 4:14 And my temptation which was in my flesh ye
despised not, nor rejected; but received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.
Who led the Hebrews out of Egypt.
Judges 2:1 ¶ And an
angel of the LORD came up from Gilgal to Bochim, and said, I made you to go
up out of Egypt, and have brought you unto the land which I sware unto your
fathers; and I said, I will never break my covenant with you.
We
will be created in such a manner, having a body, a soul, and a spirit.
1Thessalonians
5:23 And the very God of peace sanctify
you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved
blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Regarding
light, scientists presume the existence of the basic particle of light, a photon.
The universe is bathed in that light. For every estimated proton around the
nucleus of an atom they say there are a billion photons.[1] Of course, photons might
not even exist except as theoretical entities to explain things that can be
seen by mathematical constructs.
Psalm
19:1 « To the chief Musician, A
Psalm of David. » The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament
sheweth his handywork.
We
can safely dismiss theoretical entities, as said previously, which exist only
as having explanatory power to envision a universe without God, and understand
that this is the Word of God working in our universe. And, He holds it
together, not non-existent Dark Matter or Dark Energy, but God Himself, as the
Word, Christ.
Colossians
1:17 And he is before all things, and by
him all things consist.
