Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

To all…….Jesus said (not me)……. “If therefore the light that is in you be darkness, how great is that darkness!”
Some have more darkness then others do, AND some have more light, but only God the Father has it all. That is why we are told to study the word to show “OURSELVES” , THAT WE ARE WORKMEN , NOT TO BE. AHAMED, BY , “…[Read more]

Hi LU.
I cant provide a source for prototype as I wrongly assumed it was rooted in the word for firstborn despite both having the same root ‘proto’.
