Hi:I voted #3 option because Jesus did not preexist as a sentient person.  He was fore-ordained and the following scripture supports this:  Quote 1 Peter 1:17Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, silver and gold, from your vain conversation by tradition from your fathers;   1Pe 1:19   But with the precious blo…[Read more]

Hi Mike:Let's see what the scriptures state relative to this:Quote Jesus is the Last Adam.  Adam = man.  He is still a man, but now has a spiritual body,  But that's not what the scripture says, Marty.  The scripture says the the last Adam BECAME A LIFE-GIVING SPIRT.Quote 1 Co 15:20But now Christ is risen from the dead, and become the fir…[Read more]

Hi Mrs:You say:Quote Jhn 17:5   And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.  This shows us that Jesus was there with His Father as a Spirit Being before the world was…..Does the scripture state that “he was a spirit being before the world was” or is that your interpretation o…[Read more]

Hi Mike:Your comments, scripture, and question:Quote When you read this………..Romans 1:3Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh……….what do you think it means?  Because you also think Christ was nothing BUT flesh, right?  You think he began his existence as flesh, and is STILL f…[Read more]

Quote (mikeboll64 @ Aug. 14 2011,04:27)Marty,All I've done is to point out to you that 1 Tim could be taken one of TWO different ways.  One way is that Jesus is STILL a man in heaven.  The other way is that the man who died is now our mediator in heaven.  Do you agree that it can be understood EITHER way?  If you are to be honest, you have to.…[Read more]
