Sometimes, theologians talk like theologians. There is a precision needed that sometimes requires an uncommon word. And while Jesus may not have used such a word, many rejected what he taught because it was incomprehensible to them.

AUTHOR STATES.....”it was impossible for the light not to appear. It appeared by the sheer necessity of consequence.”....

Author has some clarity issues to be sure as “Light” was not a ‘consequence’.....nor did it simply 'appear' as a consequence.......it appeared as the direct work of God in response. For God, who said, "Let light shine 'out of darkness'...

I doubt the words were incomprehensible, perhaps the ideas were incomprehensible...
