Post 67, now you are blatantly lying.
 
While we’re on the topic, the fourth day in Genesis also falsely claims the Moon is a “luminary”. It isn’t. The Moon creates no light of its own. It only reflects the light of the sun.

No, because it totally contradicts what the Bible says...

Only if you read the Bible literally. Which you've rejected, since days aren't days anymore.

Hey @Elora do you think the moon emits its own light? After all, saying that it reflects the light of the Sun "contradicts the Bible."

Literally "It's ok for God to kill children."

See this is why religious people scare me. Why would you worship that?

There is a difference...

It should be noted that, whereas Genesis 1:1 states that God “created” (Heb., ba·raʼʹ) the heavens and the earth in the beginning, verses 16 and 17 state that, during the fourth creative “day,” “God proceeded to make [Heb., a form of ʽa·sahʹ] the two great luminaries, the greater luminary for dominating the day and the lesser luminary for dominating the night, and also the stars. Thus God put them in the expanse of the heavens to shine upon the earth.” The Hebrew word ʽa·sahʹ, often translated “make,” can mean simply to establish (2Sa 7:11), appoint (De 15:1), form (Jer 18:4), or prepare (Ge 21:8).

The moon does not emit natural light. So it is not a "natural light giving body." That's science.
 

So then what does "light reaching the earth" mean in the context of the 4th day in Genesis and why did you bring it up?
 

"During the 4th Day"

That is explicitly saying that the sun and moon were not created until the 4th day.

Plants were created on 3rd day. So the Bible claims plants predate the sun.

None of those definition variations help your case. If the sun wasn't "formed", "established", "appointed", or "prepared" until the 4th day, that is a serious problem.

If anything reflecting light is luminary, then every object you can see is a luminary object.

It "gives" light because it is reflecting the light of the sun.

Except this is how vision works. All objects you can see are reflecting light. That's why you can see them. The only difference is the amount of light.

You left out a piece of the google definition. The little tag "archaic." The moon was called a luminary because people at the time didn't understand how light works. That is a definition born of ignorance.

Why didn't you mention that tag, hmm? Deliberate deception? I do believe that is a sin.
 
I gave more than one source...there are plenty out there that say the same thing...the sun and moon are luminaries...just admit you are wrong, wipe the egg off your face, and move on...I won't tell anyone...lol...

Listen, at no point did I ever expect you to critically assess your beliefs. Stick to your belief that the moon "gives" light instead of reflecting it, because the internet told you so.
