Quote (Nick Hassan @ May 27 2007,19:52)Hi,Adam was the first human son of God. Christ is the second Adam.Adam was unique in being God's firstborn and the second son does not have to be formed in exactly the same way.Was Adam God's firstborn? Where does it say that? Thanks.

Quote (olive @ May 26 2007,13:46)Mary is blessed above all women because she was the chosen vessel to carry Christ, after that, she herself knew, that he was Christ, sent by Yahweh. Let us turn away from what we know in secular and get to the spirit of things.Last Christmas a movie came out called, “Nativity.” I was hoping to get to the theatres…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ May 27 2007,20:09)Hi Not3, You say”Therefore, what was conceived in Mary is the combination of both God and Mary.” Adam was given life from God alone.God's second Adam also had Mary's and thus Adam and David's genesI agree. The reason Jesus was conceived was to receive these genes from the line of David – to fulfill God's…[Read more]

OK, so I've decided that ORANGE is obnoxious to the eye – sorry. Ha! I'm trying to find a color I like.

Hi Olive – no thanks needed. I'm learning here, too. Sometimes someone can say something and I don't get it either, then along comes someone else who says the same thing only put differently and then I get it! That is what I love about this place…there are a lot of different teachers here (along with different lessons). Nick usually has a…[Read more]

Ah, Nick, good point. I missed that one.

Thanks!

Hi t8,If you would like to grant me editing rights, I would be very happy to have them. I guess it would be nice to be able to check spelling and move stuff around. I need to practice using the “quote” thing too. Sometimes I only want to quote one sentence at a time and not the whole post – somehow it doesn't work for me? So, I end up doing…[Read more]

And so, the Logos (concept or idea) of conceiving a Son from a virgin was with God in the beginning and the Word or the Spirit that would be formed within him when he came into the world was with God in the beginning. This the life-giving spirit that Jesus would become.Saying that Jesus existed with God in any other way does not make any sense at…[Read more]

David – I started a new thread “John 1:1” in Scripture section for those not wanting to discuss the NWT. Hope this helps. *Everyone else……if you can transfer some of your posts over to the new thread, that would be helpful?*

WJ – is it possible for you to transfer some of your posts over to this thread? I'm not sure how to do that yet? Thanks.

Hi Rick – welcome!I am glad to see a new member here. God bless you as you study and share.Mandy

No. They were supposedly fallen angels. Jesus is the Son of God.

Also, if you would like to “catch up” on this topic and the conception topic – just read the threads through. Nick and I have been at this for a while.

Jesus is the unique Son of God. Mary bore Jesus.Mary contributed to her Son in the same way that any other Mother contributes to their sons.Therefore, what was conceived in Mary is the combination of both God and Mary.Jesus is a unique individual – neither an incarnation of God himself – nor two natures existing side by side.I hope to have more…[Read more]

God chose conception to bring his Son into the world to show us something? What?Otherwise, God could have had Jesus “just appear” or by means of another way. Why was “conception” as his enterance so important?

Conception occurs between two who are flesh.**********************Matt. 1:20, 21″…….because what is CONCEIVED IN HER is from the holy Spirit…..She will give birth…..”Sorry Olive, conception according to the bible is not reserved only for two who are flesh.You write:Christ is the 'only' begotten son of Yahweh. How he did this, is no matter…[Read more]
