Christ is the LIGHT. God said... let there be LIGHT.
Genesis 1:1 and John 1:1 start with the same exact phrase, "In the beginning."
" In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. "
vs
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."
This shows us that the Logos was present in Genesis 1:1 which means Christ is ETERNAL. You are saying that the darkness was present, but NOT the Logos. That isn't just wrong, it's blasphemy.
Just because someone is trying to deceive does not mean that you are not responsible for what you do, and certainly not that you can blame God. Especially if you know what the right thing IS to do, but ignore that to do as you WANT to do instead, having been decieved into thinking (by yourself or the 'devil' or another person) that it is okay for you to want it and act upon it. (whatever it might be)
God gave me strength and helped me is not a 'blame' thing.

Christ... the life... was IN God who is eternal... then Christ was brought forth FROM God. In the beginning. As the LIGHT. As the LIFE.
But blasphemous to what, Sab... mainstream christianity? You know I don't care about that. You're definitely guilty of that yourself then, are you not?

Christ was "IN" god?? That sounds very blasphemous.
Adam never blamed God, he plead his case and he was correct to do so. It was God who said, " It is not good for the man to be alone. " Did Adam ask for a wife? NO! You are not putting yourself in Adam's shoes, you have no empathy for the character and you're putting all the blame on him, which is judgemental and the opposite of what Christ taught. All Adam knew was that what God said appeared to be a lie. His wife ate, which was very brave, and she didn't die. His mind was blown! He was a victim and it's why God had mercy on him by not sending him into oblivion. He gave him the opporunity to make things right. He also took matters into his own hands and provided salvation.

Really?
How was he 'begotten' then? How did He come FROM God?

No, all things were made THROUGH and FOR Christ which would mean he was involved in the creation of the heavens and the earth in Genesis 1:1. You are saying he was in some sort of embryonic stage which isn't true. Your "he is the light" of Genesis 1:3 is a deception.
Um... He IS the light. He says it Himself.
What else do you think that light would be, Sab?
It was not the sun or moon or stars... those lights came later.

"Light" is a metaphor for truth because it exposes darkness, or lies. He never said he was the light of Genesis 1:3 which speaks of the separation between day and night. Did Christ ever say, "I am the day?" God said "Let there be light" and Christ is the WORD OF GOD which means he IS the creative word coming out of God's mouth in Genesis 1:3 who was in existence BEFORE the Beginning. That's why he is said to be FROM God, because he is the WORD of God which, like God, is eternal. Christ is THE Creator, not a created being.
The Word of God comes from God also, yes... coming out of God, yes... I am not sure what the problem is there.
(Light... being a metaphor for Truth... just says the same thing, because Truth is Christ (truth separate from lie... light separate from darkness)... all the same; and as for day or night... how is there a literal physical day/night without a sun?)
