Wow! Are you ever unable to read what is written!
Just on this part, alone, you show complete illiteracy in reading and comprehending what is written: -maybe it is your false translation? You can get the manuscripts online to compare the original words written and the concordance helps you see the original and what it means, at www.blueletterbible.org

Genesis 1 : 3 - 5 On the first day of creation, God created light, and separated light from the darkness.

Light is a separate creation than the sun and stars. When God said “Let there be light”, there was light, and God divided the light from the dark, that made an evening and a morning =one whole and complete first day.
That light is not the sun, nor the stars.

The sun, moon and stars were created in place on day four: Gen 1:15 “lights firmament heaven light earth” are the Hebrew words of Genesis 1:15.

Light is Scripture has a dwelling place -and it isn’t the sun, moon, or the stars, either;
Do you know the way where light dwells? [it is not the sun!]
Job 38:19 Where [is] the way [where] light dwelleth? and [as for] darkness, where [is] the place thereof,

Light dwells with Him;
Dan 2:22 He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what [is] in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.

And He is Light unapproachable, and the Son of Man, in the Person of God the Word, dwells in Him;
1Ti 6:16 Who only hath immortality [Jesus, as second Man], dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom [be] honour and power everlasting. Amen.

God -in the Person of the Word, who is come in flesh and is Jesus the Christ- created trees and grasses on day three of creation week: Genesis 1:10-13, and beasts, creeping things and Adam, on day six: Genesis 1:24-28

Gen 1:31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, [it was] very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
Gen 2:1¶Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
Gen 2:2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
Gen 2:3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.

The creation was finished on day six -complete.
Now, a synopsis of it as it relates to Adam begins in chapter 2:

Gen 2:4 ¶These [are] the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens, And every plant of the field, before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and [there was] not a man to till the ground. But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.

Gen 2:7 And the LORD God formed man [of] the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed. And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

I haven’t time at the moment to reply to all your biblical errors, but as I have time, I will. The above alone is enough to show that you need a biblical literacy class.

Is it your contention that the “light that dwells with Him” was the light that was created on the first day? Is God not eternal, as well as the light that is with Him? If so, how was it thus created? Was the account of the creation about the earth & us, or does it have to do with other things that have nothing to do with us as well?

BTW, these questions are meant in sincerity & part of a reasoned discussion rather than a put down or a call out. I’m sincerely interested in your take.

U Said: Wow! Are you ever unable to read what is written!

Actually, I read just fine, however, sometimes the meaning of poorly written pieces escapes me.

I got those citations from the website I linked, not a "Mormon" site BTW. It's not a new thought, and Mormons believe that God created everything twice, once spiritually, and once physically (so we have no contradiction there, but for the "create once" people like the makers of the web site, they have no explanation.

I am not going to defend every single, or even one contradiction from the Bible, my point is made, they are there, and if there is the perception of contradictions within the Bible, then it's impossible for anything to "completely agree" with it, for it disagrees with itself.

<Snip>

U Said: I haven’t time at the moment to reply to all your biblical errors, but as I have time, I will.

Please don't bother, I am not truly concerned about these "contradictions" my point was already made the claims of contradiction can and will be made erroneously, and there is no way for the Book of Mormon to completely agree with a book many believe contradicts itself. Indeed, the Mormonism explains more of these contradictions in a logical way than any other religion I have ever encountered.

U Said: The above alone is enough to show that you need a biblical literacy class.

LOL! I'm sure such a class would be interesting, especially with you as teacher, however, I could have given the same, or even better explanations, that was not the point.

Let me state plainly that if you are looking for Contradictions you will find them, if you are looking for problems you will find them, If you are looking for God's message, you will find it. Some times it's not what's on the Table that matters, ti's what you bring to the table with you. I found a testimony of Jesus in the Book of Mormon, what will you find?
