The world is dark about half the time because of the earths rotation, but on many nights the moon provides enough light so we can walk around without a flashlight, especially when there is a full moon. In the city the street lights prevent total darkness. Many people who move to the country to get away from the city soon realize they miss the city lights or they are afraid of the dark, so they get a big yard light. I recently read an article that our body needs complete darkness to release certain chemicals the body needs. Even night lights are enough to stop the body from releasing the chemicals. So maybe wearing sleep masks or eye covers is a good idea.
There is darkness or blindness due to the absence or lack of light in this physical world.
1. The darkness caused by the earth rotates as described above.
2. During an eclipse of the sun which only occurs rarely and then in a small area on earth.
3. At night when the moon is not seen because of its orbit or heavy clouds.
4. In an fully enclosed room or cave when there is no artificial lights on.
5. Degrees of blindness when ones eyes work in varying stages, Ed my friend is legally blind, but he can still see.
6. Closing ones eyelids causes momentary darkness, but the brain can often see stars or images.
Physical or mental darkness of the mind due to not being learned or lack of normal ability.
1. Not knowing about the fixed laws of science and nature, algebra and calculus must be learned.
2. A I.Q test score below 100, indicates less than normal intelligence.
3. Refusing to see the light, like refusing to believe in gravity when its proof is all around us.
Two thirds of the spiritual world in the Bible is good, they chose to not rebel against God.
1. Satan and a third of the angels were said to rebel against God, they do Gods dirty work of tempting mankind.
2. God made all of the angels, but a third of them were destined to rebel to complete God plan.
3. Satan is often blamed for darkness and evil that is only in the mind of ungodly people.
4. Many Born Again Christians still struggle with Satan because they are under his condemnation.
5. We humans have little power against Satan and his demons without the protection of Jesus.
6. When we choose to believe in Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we no longer need to fear anything.
7. When tempted by Peter to not be crucified, Jesus said, “Get behind me Satan.”
8. All of the other attributes of God need to be listed here to bring out all of the light available to us.
Without the light of the Bible this is a dark world indeed, the chosen blindness of many.
1. Lack of knowledge or refusing to believe in the Bible does not prevent us from being subject to it.
2. If we choose to believe in the teachings of Jesus, we lose our sense of the fixed spiritual rules.
3. The way the Bible was written and compiled leaves a lot to be desired, but it should not be denied.
4. The Ten Commandments and the teachings of Jesus need to be our guide to life.
5. We can possibly make it on our own with only our conscience and hidden connections to God.
6. People who ignore or try to over write their conscience with the worlds ways have lost their restraint.
7. A life without restraint is a life on the road to perdition, it is wrong to make our own reality.
8. The current fad to seek enlightenment from meditation and yoga can attract demons to us.
9. Without the Bible we need to try to explain the supernatural with evolution, luck and our great mind.
10. Without the knowledge of the bible we will get lost, its like a GPS system in a foreign language.
11. It is hard to find the truth if we start with the wrong assumptions, then we are blind to the truth.
12. A seeing eye and hearing ear needs to be developed, not given by meditating with a blank mind.
