That is such a great and deep truth, Tweety.  You are surely getting into a deep spiritual mind.  I am so glad to see this.  You are advancing very rapidly.  This is how we know we are God's children,...because we are growing  ... in grace and KNOWLEDGE.

 

when people claim to be living for God, year after year, with no advancement of knowledge and growth,  something is very wrong.

 

Yes, the TRUE LIGHT, the grace and knowledge of God, was always there.  That darkness was the evil Adam brought in and covered up that true light.  That LIGHT was the thoughts of God, for his thoughts are LIFE.

 

People miss this truth by trying to say that Jesus was the light and the word.  But no.  Jesus had the light and the Word inside himself, for God gave it to him.  John one is speaking about the WORD, not a man.  Jesus is a man.

 

This is where the false doctrine came from.  Satan, or Adam, covered up this light with his LIES or darkness.

 

And yes, you are right,...in that this darkness is a horrible darkness without any light at all in it.  this is that total rebrobate MIND, which Adam plunged into, as shown in Romans one.

 

This is that outer darkness, where sinners will be sent, when they die without God........a darkness so dark that it will be torment and terror to those who are cast out there.

 

Again....love that beautiful picture.  Thanks.
