Superiority of Light

In Christianity, God is a Trinity. God is 3 persons in one body. The Father, The Son and The Spirit. They are co-equal and co-eternal having distinct characteristics yet sharing the same attributes of love, righteousness, justice, sovereignty and integrity. Much like the element of water, it is comprised of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom or H2O and yet can maintain three distinct forms all at the same time: as liquid (water), as vapor (steam) and as a solid (ice) which interestingly enough is the ONLY element that can maintain this trichotomy in the same plane. And yet there is a better illustration of the Trinity in the form of light. Light is a better illustration of the Trinity because of its creative and destructive abilities.

2 Now the earth was [a] formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.

3 And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and He separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light "day," and the darkness he called "night." And there was evening, and there was morning-the first day. Gen 1: 2-5

Light as a trinity is made of three properties as well: actenic, calorific and luminiferous. Actenic light is neither seen nor felt and yet exists such as infared light. Calorific light is not seen but can be felt as such as in the form of heat. Finally, there is luminiferous light that is both seen and felt such as an atomic explosion among other things. God the Father is represented by actenic light, which is neither seen or felt. God the Spirit is representative of calorific light which is not seen but definately felt. God the Son is representative of luminiferous light in that he is both seen and able to be felt. Jesus Christ is the Ambassador of the Trinity if you will since the other members of the God-head cannot be seen by elemental man.

12Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:
13Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
14In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
15Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
16For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: 17And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. Col 1: 12-17

And just as light has creative abilites so light has destructive ablities:

But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare.[a]

11Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives 12as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming.[b]That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. 13But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, the home of righteousness. 2 Peter 3: 10-13

Light is the key to understanding God as well as Christian doctrine from the Bible. Light is the key to life in fact for it precedes life and without light there would be no life. The Earth is neither too close nor too far from the Sun and as such is in its "perfect" orbit, the rest of the planets bearing deadly witness of their location to the Sun in our Solar System. May the Holy Spirit illuminate your mind and guide your understanding in these matters.
