as for the phrase to rule the night in Genesis 1:16, this is an idiomatic expression that simply means the moon is the dominant nocturnal luminary. The fact that the moon is sometimes visible in the daytime sky in no way negates the fact that it dominates the nighttime sky.



The Bible’s description of the moon as the “lesser light” is not meant to classify the moon as a light source similar to the sun. The language is an accurate description of the comparative luminosity of the moon and the sun. The meaning is that moonlight as it reaches the earth is less bright than sunlight, a fact that we all acknowledge.



We do not require the weatherman on TV to use scientifically precise terminology when chatting about the forecast—we do not get confused if he mentions a “sunrise” or “sunset,” even though those are not the technical terms for what’s actually happening in the solar system. We are comfortable with the use of phenomenological language, and we should be able to recognize it in Scripture. God communicated to humanity in a way we could understand and appreciate. The moon does shine, albeit with reflected light, so it is entirely appropriate for the Bible to speak of the moon as a “light.”

Do l detect a tinge of jealousy here—-hmmmmmm?

You already have a loyal new friend and follower in Flat Earth TeddyBug,🥸 I woulda thought you might’ve made the most of that by now 😍

Think of it, He’s unique, and he needs a ladybug

His thinking patterns are similar to yours and he even responds to other people similarly by poking fun at “special ed” persons. Sorta (well,,,I shouldn’t say “sorta”, perhaps a better word might be “exactly”) like you did at Morgan. Remember, what you posted on the forum about Morgan? AND how you highlighted his “limitations” (your word)⁉️
