Hi LU,
YOU: Carmel,
You said: ALL THE ABOVE IS A CLEAR REFERENCE TO JESUS’ PREXISTENCE AS A SPIRIT!
It is a reference to the only begotten Son of God who was in the same form as his Father before creation.
ME: That means LU that
Jesus was never BEGOTTEN BEFORE HE CREATED ANYTHING, as He pre-existed eternally as A SPIRIT IN THE ONENESS OF G…[Read more]

Berean,
Read these scriptures now:
1 John5:20And we know that the Son of God
is come:
and he hath given us understanding thatwe may know the TRUE God, and
may be in his TRUE Son.
This is the TRUE God and life eternal.

Read hereunder:
Luke 10:22 All things are delivered to me by my Father; and
no one knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and
to whom the Son will reveal him.

Hi Berean,
YOU: The FATHER IS THE ONE ETERNAL TRUE GOD
With the above declaration, you are rejecting
the eternal oneness of the Father and the Son.
Peace and love in Jesus Christ

Hi, Gene,
YOU:Yes you do have a good point Carmel, there is hope for all I believe.
That’s the only way I can see a
true loving God!
It was His plan that the imperfect would be established, first in Lucifer, spirit, then in Adam living souls. One hope was left
for the kingdom of the Son,
through the corrupted flesh general system.

Hi LU,
YOU: Thank you for rewriting your post. That was much easier to follow.
I see those references in Hebrews, Psalms 2, Acts 13, to the “begetting” as taking place from the dead. Hence, He is called “Firstborn from the dead.” Jesus, however is certainly identified as God’s Son already many times before he was begotten from the dead.[Read more]
