Why did God create stars?
Hi, my name is Nick. Sowwy for the late reply. Well challenger you asked why did God create stars right?
Well stars that shine in the sky are "for signs", and for seasons, and for days, and years" (Gen. 1:14 KJV). There was no time before God created anything (Gen 1.1). Since time is the sequence of events, there were no earthly or human events before God created the world. Since time did not exist for God - no yesterday, today, and tomorrow - then there was no time in eternity past. Once God created time, He also set the earth spinning on its axis, and from human perspective people can observe the passing of time by comparing themselves to the apparent stationary positions of the moon and stars in the sky. Stars help us tell time and dates.
And you asked where was Jesus for the three days between His death and resurrection? Well since the Bible doesn't give many details about that time. However, there is one verse worth considering:
"For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit, by whom also He went and preached to the spirits in prison, who formerly were disobedient, when once the Divine longsuffering waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight souls, were saved." - I Peter 3:18-20
This would indicate that Christ preached to those who rejected God before He died on the cross. The purpose may have been to show them the fulfillment of God's plan of salvation and their guilt for rejecting God. Hoped I had answered your questions and thanks for coming by and may God bless.
