My theory is that God is the Sun. Provide counterevidence concerning my statements to support this below.?

Question

My proof: Shines on both good and evil; one of the oldest objects in the universe; "God" said "Let there be light"--and the sun is what?;What would happen to life on earth if the sun no longer shone its light?; the sun is in the heavens; Einstein's relativity theory (and his idea that time slows down when you move at the speed of light), suggest that if God's eyes were the sunlight, things would seem to move slowly for God--which might explain the old debate about the age of the earth in the Bible being described as much shorter (4-5000 years) than fossil records (billions of years); Where is God during troubled times? Up in the sky, shining the light on everyone soe we can live another day to make choices; the bible states that people may be blinded if they try to look on the face of God (try looking at the sun); it is said that God can be in many places at once--so can sunlight...

Answer 1

Ah, nice try, but no. God has a wealth of other powers. For example, God not only shines on the just and unjust, but also causes it to rain upon the just and the unjust. Can the sun do that?
Also, the Bible says that God is in ALL places, beholding the evil and the good. That would mean that God is everywhere in the universe at once. Though the sun is bright and massive, its rays can't illuminate the entire universe, which would mean, according to your theory, that God wouldn't be able to reach another galaxy. Furthermore, when the sun shines on one half of the earth, the opposite side, which doesn't face the sun, is dark. If God is the sun, wouldn't that mean that God is only on half of the places in the world? It would be a contradiction of Scripture.
So, no. God is not the sun.

Answer 2

I am assuming you have read the bible since you are referring to The scripture when God says "let there be light." However, I see many contradictions to your theory. One, if you read the whole thing it says...

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

If God is the sun then why did you just hear him create himself. If he is the sun then there would be no need to create it, it would already be there.

Also, you said that it shines on both good and evil. Though God loves everyone, he can not be in th presence of the wicked.

Deuteronomy 31:18
And I will certainly hide my face on that day because of all their wickedness in turning to other gods.

Another thing is it says that you shall not form idols. Is the sun not an idol? Anyways here are a tun of scripture about not worshiping the sun since in your argument you so quickly used the scripture to your advantage.

Deuteronomy 4:19
And when you look up to the sky and see the sun, the moon and the stars—all the heavenly array—do not be enticed into bowing down to them and worshiping things the LORD your God has apportioned to all the nations under heaven.

Deuteronomy 17:3
and contrary to my command has worshiped other gods, bowing down to them or to the sun or the moon or the stars of the sky.

Answer 3

I agree with Frodo even though I actually get my info from the christian bible, it says god made a greater light to rule the day and a lesser light to rule the night. notice the terms RULE, I think the sun is a symbol of god the father, and the moon a symbol of the holy spirit, who I believe to be a feminine deity, and a reflection of the greater light... in the ancient hebrew scripts the words for the holy ghost are feminine. So i consider the holy ghost to be the mother figure. they work together to maintain the earth. Also god says "I am the root and offspring of david and the bright and morning star" revelations 22:16...and in response to sen, the sun does make it rain, it causes the water to evaporate, forming clouds. Anyway I don't think the sun IS god, but a symbol of god.

Answer 4

actually God is much brighter than the sun and no man can see God without dying but you can see the sun. and God created the sun.
Ge 1:16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.

Answer 5

it's a very interesting theory, i have to admit. flaws here and there, but i definitely like it.

Counterevidence:

*traveling at the speed of light, one can circumnavigate the known four spatial dimensional universe in approximately 56 years (spaceship time). But outside, hundreds of billions of years would've passed.
(this was calculated and stated by Carl Sagan in his 'Cosmos' series on video and book)
--goes against your billions of years to 5000 years with sunlight's point of view

(earliest fossil to date: bacteria cells from 2 billion years ago and for humans (assuming God only cares about human-like creatures) was from 2 million years ago)


...but, honestly, really interesting theory! It's making you think, which is what God has always wanted with us anyways!

Answer 6

Like others have implied, no matter if there is little to no info helping theories that Jesus borrows or copies from those older non secular traditions, there is little reason to symbolize that Jesus is merely with out caution compelling and that there isn't any longer an iota or better of doubt surrounding the credibility of a collection of illiterate fisherman etc in historic Rome following a guy who at maximum appropriate replaced into "followed" by ability of God and then made particular afterwards. And this guy supposedly replaced into crucified and then supposedly died causing activities to ensue that are not in any archives of Roman heritage to my information, really human beings popping out of their freaking graves, alongside with earthquakes and a image voltaic eclipse. yet i wager it can be so effective to believe in Jesus at the same time as he's so unique and there isn't any probability human beings hadn't heard of similar notions of human beings coming again to existence lower than diverse circumstances. So there'd be no way they couldn't proper those claims and then prepare them to their Messiah so that they could brag about him coming again after being crucified and buried for 3 days at the same time as the Egyptians had a better exciting tale of Osiris being sealed in a coffin and then presented again to existence to knock up Isis and then his brother chopped him up and then the gods resurrected him. Crucifixion isn't some thing compared to being buried alive, presented again to existence and then chopped up into 14 products.

Answer 7

I think that's a very nice theory but, it's makes more sense to assume that the sun is just a star and god doesn't exist.

Answer 8

so there are many Gods?
i mean, have u ever heard of more than one solar system? God is supposed to be everywhere so why is the Earth revolving around the sun while it isnt the other way around????

Answer 9

I see your point...however, God said, "Let us make man in our own image." So, from that verse, the sun can't be God. I think the Ancient Egyptians worshipped the sun, among other gods.

They called it Ra.

Answer 10

In my religion God is represented by the sun, just as the Goddess is represented by the moon.
