quick question

[a.baker]

I have been reading 2 Corinthians and there is much talk in the letters about Titus. Who is Titus? I see him being talked about, but are there more detailed stories about him?

The fellow Paul wrote Titus to.

Appears to be a close buddy and co-worker of Paul. an evangelist. Quite likely of Roman descent.

I see now. So it does seem to be someone of closeness to Paul. Paul talks so much of him, I wander if there is more detailed stories about him any where? Paul has made me curious to learn more of Titus.

I am not aware of any. But that does not mean there are not.

The epistle Titus is written to him. It is referred to as a pastoral letter, as are first and second Timothy.

Another quick question. Me and my daughter were doing a coloring craft this morning about the 7 days of creation. I have a question I never thought of before. On the first day God made light. On the fourth day God made the sun. What was the light on the first day or is it something we cannot possibly comprehend? To think of it it's a hard one for me to grasp for the light to not be consumed in something. Was it infinite light not contained?

Thank x for the help with the question about Titus.

No. He didn't make light. He made darkness.

On the first day he let the light through the darkness that had been on the earth from the destruction of verse 2.

The term is not creation. It is taking what is and reshaping it.

God is light. The universe was full of light in verse 1. Then the destruction in the war with Satan in verse 2. The angels that rebelled where put in Hell which was created at that time as a prison. Then in he allowed the light in and separated the water from the land. Then he brought the light together to form the sun and stars.
On the fourth day God made the sun. What was the light on the first day or is it something we cannot possibly comprehend?
Light was everywhere initally.

Darkness was created.

Think of a blanket thrown over or around something. Then pulled back to let it be seen.

I see so it started out as light and God basically separated things and put layers on top of one another? (different stuff later with living creation). Is it o.k. to call it His canvas as in artists metaphoric terms? Now is each day a literal day for God? What I mean is, our time of day means nothing compared to His time of day. People like to argue and say that its not literally a day. But it has to be if after each day it talks of evening and morning and than the next day comes. Our time is not His time. On the fourth day He gives us things to tell time and seasons.

God created a complete earth with life on it in Gen 1. But there was no darkness.

Verse 2 was when the war was fought, Satan and the Rebels thrown down and imprisoned, earth shattered and darkness created and wrapping the earth as a blanket.

The God took what was there and began reshaping it for round 2, so to speak. That is why it says created from nothingness in verse 1 but then revealed what already existed as regards light.

Then he created new life upon the reshaped earth.

Note, please, that the New Earth has no seas, mountains, oceans and such. That was how it was in verse 1 and it states, in other places, the earths mantle was shattered, rendered chaos and the earth was flooded.

Hope that helps.

A morning and an evening defines a 24 hour day.

Adding stars and such to show the season has no impact on that reality.
