Re: The Light was Good
Greetings, CreationJon. Noting the new name, I am curious as to what type of creationist that you are. Shall "creationism" be based only on the Bible, or is it a philosophy all its own?
You are a linguist, and one of the questions that I have about the origin of words is what the words mean in context to the time they were first uttered versus the translations and the changing cultural meanings of said words.
Lets analyze some of the Genesis words in their Hebrew form, shall we? I am using a Strongs Concordance.
OT:2822--choshek (kho-shek'); from OT:2821; the dark; hence (literally) darkness; figuratively, misery, destruction, death, ignorance, sorrow, wickedness:
KJV - dark (-ness), night, obscurity.
OT:216---'owr (ore); from OT:215; illumination or (concrete) luminary (in every sense, including lightning, happiness, etc.):
KJV - bright, clear, day, light (-ning), morning, sun.
