Ed,
I looked at the Hebrew behind the words of Micah 5:2 and there are many mysteries about why it has been interpreted in as many different ways as it has. It appears that experts see implied words but differ on what words are implied. In addition there is probably a differences in manuscripts.
That said I do not think that word’s of Micah as interpreted by the AV of the KJV is referring to the Spirit of Christ that is within Jesus but he is instead referring God’s plan that the Christ would go forth from Bethlehem. It sounds like a foretelling of the cumming of the Christ.
I can see where it could the Spirit of God that was given could also be said to have origins that are from old and to go forth from Bethlehem into all the world. My doubt that it is what is intended stems from the knowledge that Jesus did go forth from Bethlehem and any Micah lacks any solid tie to the Spirit.
Hi Kerwin,
Do you believe Psalms 12:6-7 is true? “Yes” or “no”?
(remember “I don’t know” is also an acceptable answer)The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.” (Psalms 12:6-7)Hi Kerwin,
“The spirit of Christ” came from eternity and was born in Bethlehem – so Jesus’ spirit certainly fits the bill.
…plus Bethlehem means “house of bread” – and Jesus plainly said:
“I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever:
and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.” (John 6:51)uh oh Jesus says He is the living bread which came down from heaven
Sorry Kerwin, but you cannot wiggle out of this by reinterpretations of corrupted texts
Hi ED,
You have previously pointed to the folly of the JW one verse and false interpretation problem.
The words of scripture are pure truth but frequently misunderstood -as Peter spoke of Paul’s words

Hi Nick,
You mean like when Paul says that Jesus was a man,
what he means is: his spirit was not “the spirit of Christ”?I thought you said you should not create one verse false interpretations?
It says that Jesus was a man in more than one place. But that does
not change the fact that this is precisely what you are doing.
If not, please explain why you feel this is not the case._______________
God bless
Ed JHi Kerwin,
Here is why you cannot or at least shouldn’t consider that the Prophet
Micah instead of He meant only the prophecy came from eternity.
The first hint of this prophecy is first mentioned in Gen.3:15,
so that hardly goes all the way back to eternity past.Here is the part you seem to keep missing > > >
He who’s goings have been from eternity shall come forth out of THEE BETHLEHEM.
And here the Angel Gabriel gives the fulfillment of Micah 5:2 by declaring Christ’s birth…
“For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.” (Luke 2:11)Hi Kerwin,
And why is Jesus denying his lineage back to David? (– which is his mother Mary’s lineage)
Because He is obviously declaring that He himself is “the Spirit of Christ”That is what makes him “The Son of God”
God: …………….. HolySpirit (Father of Spirits) “she was found with child of the HolySpirit” (Matt 1:18)
Son of God: … Jesus Christ (Spirit of Christ) “born of thee shall be called the Son of God” (Luke 1:35)Hi Ed,
2 Peter 3.16
No Paul mentioned that men can have their own spirit as well as the Holy Spirit.
Rom 8
Just as Jesus did till his own left him at calvary
Ed,
Do you believe Psalms 12:6-7 is true? “Yes” or “no”?
Did you mean to insult me?
The answer to your question is yes and you should have assumed it as a given no matter what passage of Scripture is quoted.
If your assumption is invalid then time will show it to be false.
Ed,
The AV of the KJV is a corrupted text despite your denial of that fact. I still use it because it is what God chose to give us. I compare it to others and look at the original languages because I am interested. Never the less I will go by its wording for Micah as I said.
Ed,
The first hint of this prophecy is first mentioned in Gen.3:15,
so that hardly goes all the way back to eternity past.There is also the words “And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good.” at then the end of the first chapter of Genesis.
The origins I am talking about are in the mind of God. That is also why I point at Genesis 1:31 since God know all things including the future and still beheld that every thing he made by his logos was very good.
Hi Ed,
Now the Lord is the Spirit.
Still a son of man, and our inheritance is in him.
Flesh and blood cannot enter the kingdom.

OK Nick,
Then who is this “WE” that Christ is speaking of in John 14:23:
“WE will come unto him, and make OUR abode with him.” (John 14:23)Who is the “WE” if not…
1. The Spirit of God
2. The Spirit of Christ…well?
(and please be specific)

The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.” (Psalms 12:6-7)(1) Did you mean to insult me?
(2) The answer to your question is yes and you should have assumed it as a given no matter what passage of Scripture is quoted.
Hi Kerwin,
1) No, I instead mean to question your beliefs.
2) I can assume no such thing when people do not believe what Scripture says.OK then, please do tell me how

Ed JHi Ed,
The Spirit of the Father and the Son -the one Spirit.
The Spirit of the Son is also known as the Spirit of Christ and the Word.
ED,
The words of the LORD are purified seven times in a furnace of earth?
I assume you misspoke as that is not what it says.
As you already know God’s word does not need purifying.
What is written means the word of God is as pure as precious metal refined to completion.
Seven is the number of completion for creation was finished when God rested on the Seventh Night and Day.
You like numbers so you may know that as well.
