Quote:In him was life; and the life was the light of men - John 1:4
If life can exist after death of the body then is has to be some form of energy, you cannot say that life cannot exist after death because you don't know; but if life is energy then according to science it continues to exist...
Like I've said, it's funny how science seems to corroborate what the bible has been saying all along.
Your quote is an *analogy*. I doubt even the author took it literally. You know, light to show the way and all that stuff.
Sorry, but modern science does NOT corroborate the Bible. Light is not the same as energy. Neither is the same as life. Those are hard facts.
As for life after death, that seems to be a delusion produced by people afraid of non-existence, even though they non-existed 500 years ago.

The ancient Hebrews believed the Messiah was to be God incarnate, Islam does not accept the deity of Jesus Christ.

What creates light? You can't separate light from energy.
Only is the sense that you cannot separate motion from energy, or matter from energy. NONE of those things is actually energy. In fact, energy is an *aspect* of those things.
What creates light? Changing electromagnetic fields. That's why we can create light by flipping a switch on the wall. That's why LEDs work. That's how radio (yes, radio is a type of light) works.
But electromagnetic fields are not, themselves energy. They *have* energy (and momentum, and angular momentum, etc), but that is not all they are.

Have you ever consulted what the non-Christian Jews say about these verses? Check out this link, and then tell me where you think this Rabbi has gone wrong with their interpretation:

The Jews don't accept the deity of Jesus Christ either, so I don't know what point you're trying to make.
quoted from your link.
Quote:If Jesus were the 'Mighty Gd,' why would he have to call upon another as Gd in order to save him? How can Gd forsake himself? This also denies the very idea of a trinity, and shows how Jesus does not fit the description of the Isaiah 9 quotation.

People back then didn't adhere to the modern concept of energy that we do. So it seems to me like you're doing some retrofitting based on modern science.
Light IS energy, what you're doing is attempting to argue semantics...
If I refer to fire as light, does that mean it's not energy?
Fire is not energy either. It is a chemical reaction that *releases* energy.
