Proclaimer…….Jesus is both, firstborn, from the dead and firstborn into the kingdom of God, how is that hard for you to understand? Did JESUS not say, (not me). “You must be born again”? Even so he had to be born again also.

Phil 2 does NOT mention anything about “preexistence”, it says Christ “existed” in the form of God; try again.

To live in the form of God, one must be God. And the Son of God (Proverbs 30:4/John 1:1) was God and WAS WITH the GOD in the BIGINNING before the World WAS (John 17:5)

The Jews believed it was going to be just a man, not a god-man, not incarnated God, or any other man made idea to explain the Messiah.

@ Berean,
You end your post with “No answer?” Was I suppose to answer this before you posted it!?!? Or is there a misunderstanding in what you wrote; a transnational issue between languages?

Nineveh was the capital of Assyria, the ruling empire of the day, home to not only the king but also “more than one hundred and twenty thousand persons” (Jonah 4:11). At one point it was the largest city in the world—and, as most cities go, incredibly corrupt. Jonah had be…[Read more]

“Jesus Christ being the first born of all creation and having first place in all things”. Does this mean Christ preexisted or he was first to be raised from the dead and receive God’s glory?

The New Testament shows us clearly that Jesus Christ existed in the form of God and he emptied himself and came in the flesh. If we reject Jesus Christ as the Son of God, firstborn of all creation, messiah, and the Word of God, then we reject the New Testament. That is fine as we have free will to choose to believe or not. We can only choose for ourselves.

Yep.
I would never teach people that the bible teaches a flat earth. That would be a lie.
I also wouldn’t teach the earth was flat from a scientific viewpoint as the evidence is overwhelming that we live in a universe filled with galaxies, suns, planets, and moons. And because of gravity, shapes that are not spherical will eventually break up…[Read more]

You take off on a long dissertation on the Talmud and Pharisees and miss what I actually said. The quoting was only to show what the Jews believe.
