I feel that the explanation I’ve offered is completely in line with every scripture that touches on the Godhead. Also what I’ve written is NOT an illustration or analogy; it is put forward as THE single explanation of how Jesus can be the Son of God and also God Himself.

If we superimpose everything we know about the phenomenon of light onto the Godhead because the scripture “God is Light” gives us license to do so; then there are properties of light that don’t really fit. ie composed of quanta, travels at 186,000 mi/sec etc. Your observation might make a good basis for a sermon but it’s quite different than what I am trying to accomplish.

I am looking forward to hearing your thoughts/ criticisms

Regards

Rather than saying that some properties don't fit, I would say that we don't understand how they fit, but the analogy is from God and so we can argue that it is a perfect analogy.

Romans 5:14 says that Adam is a figure of Christ and the rest of the chapter presents some of the similarities and differences between the first man and the second man. Lets assume that there are similarities and differences with "God is light." This means we must be careful when we superimpose the things we know onto the Godhead.
2 Cor 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
That the speed of light is constant is an interesting parallel. The relative speed between two objects does not figure into the equation “Distance = Velocity X Time,” since V=C when light is one of the objects. This has led to the theory that distance and time are subject to properties of light, which is part of the foundation of your theory. The absolute properties of light are like the character of God. He designed light to show us.

Of course there is more, there is always more, but I’m getting off work now.
Prov 25:2 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.
