Quran Corrects the Bible -4

Quran Corrects the Bible -4

God Almighty is in Darkness or Light?

Errancy; Within the Bible, there is a contradiction that states God dwells in thick darkness (1 Kings 8:12) and then in another verse, we read: God dwells in unapproachable light. (1 Timothy 6:16)

Excuse of Bible Scholars; Figures of speech and need not be taken literally.

Rebuttal: God is speaking to humans, not nocturnal creatures who perceive light and darkness differently than humans. In light of the scripture being sent down to humans, we must ascertain the verses are to be interpreted literally, as humans understand them. For example, if the Bible was sent to earth for the bats, and other nocturnal creatures, then we would interpret light to mean darkness, since this is not the case, light to us humans should and does logically means light.

Correction:
In the following verses, we see how being in the dark is not a place where we should even be, let alone imagine our Lord, Most High to be:

"These are they who purchase error at the price of guidance, so their commerce doth not prosper, neither are they guided. Their likeness is as the likeness of one who kindletli fire, and when it sheddeth its light around him Allah taketh away their light and leaveth them in darkness, where they cannot see." (Quran 2:16-17)

"Allah is the Protector of those who have faith: from the depths of darkness He will LEAD them forth IN TO LIGHT. Of those who reject faith the patrons are the evil ones: from light, they will lead them forth into the depths of darkness. They will be companions of the fire, to dwell therein (For ever)." (Quran 2:257)

"O people of the Scripture! Now hath Our messenger come unto you, expounding unto you much of that which ye used to hide in the Scripture, and forgiving much. Now hath come unto you LIGHT FROM ALLAH and a plain Scripture Whereby Allah guideth him who seeketh His good pleasure unto paths of peace. He bringeth them out of darkness UNTO LIGHT by His decree, and guideth them unto a straight path." (Quran 5: 15-16)

Thus, we see the path to Allah is the path to light, and the path away from Allah is the path to darkness. This contrast clarifies that God dwells in light in the Quran, unlike in the Bible.
