What was made on the first day of creation?

Answer 1

The Bible says in the begining God created the Heavens and the earth.

==1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

On the first day God produced the blueprint of the universe and He worked out how to go about manifesting it. The expression "earth was without form, and void" indicates that the earth was just an idea in His mind. As Paramhansa Yogananda explains in his book "The Second Coming of Christ: The Resurrection of the Christ Within You" this indicates the "creative thoughts of God that are the ideational causes of all beginnings" (see Discourse 10).

Also, in these few lines, Moses explains to us that God plays with the universe for some time (which He calls 'Day') after which He rests for some time (which He calls 'Night'). The light that God created on the first day was not the visible light from stars (which was created on the fourth day), but is the "Cosmic Vibration's first expression of creation (concurrent with the sound of of Aum or Amen). It is the essence or building block of the trifold universe and man - ideational, the subtlest form of light as thought or idea; astral, the light of lifetronic energy; and material, the light of atoms, electrons, protons that structure all matter." (see Yogananda's book "God Talks With Arjuna - The Bhagavad Gita" chapter III, verses 14-15).

Answer

God created light.

On the first day of creation, God created the first day of creation:

'And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.' Gen 1:5.

Answer 2

This question relates to the biblical creation. However, there are two creation stories in Genesis: (1) verses 1:1 to 2:4a; (2) 2:4b to 2:22; therefore there should be two answers. The first of the creation stories (1:1-2:4a) is recognised by scholars as the work of the Priestly (P) source, based on a Mesopotamian myth encountered by the Jews in Babylon, while the second is from the Yahwist (J) source and is therefore older in Judaism. Genesis 1:1 to 2:4a ( up to first sentence of 2:4)

Since the early centuries of the Common Era, tradition has held that Genesis 1:1 says "In the beginning God created heaven and earth." But as long ago as the eleventh century CE, the influential Jewish scholar, Rashi, said that Genesis 1:1 should really be read, "When God began to create" or "In the beginning of God's creation ". E.A. Speiser, in Genesis (Anchor Bible series), goes further and translates the sentence as: "When God set about to create heaven and earth - the world being a formless waste, with darkness over the seas... God said, 'Let there be light.' And there was light." The creation account in Genesis 1:1 to 2:4a says there was a pre-existing watery chaos. The ocean was already present and a wind (poetically, the spirit of God) moved across the surface of the waters. The basics were already there. God created the light of day on that first day, although he did not created the sun until the third day.

Genesis 2:4b to 2:15There was pre-existing dry land, but God had yet to make it rain for plants to grow. A spring arose and God took some moist clay and made Adam. After Adam, he made the creatures of earth, one by one, then finally Eve. In this account, we know that God created Adam on the first day, but as there is no timescale provided for creation, we do not know how much more was created on that same day.
