Irene………I was referencing nothing about firstborn regarding what is said , do you see the word Firstborn anywhere there, i was referencing about Preexistence only, the Trinitarians believe Jesus preexisted his berth on earth the Gnostic's also did and I do believe you do also right? So that would make all of you preexistences right? That…[Read more]

T8……….I do believe Jesus, it's your misunderstanding of what Jesus was meaning there thats the problem Brother.

Jesus was not talking about his Berth or…[Read more]

Paladin………..Brother i see some difference between your explanation and my understanding of Logos, First i don't see where the Logos and GOD are different, God is said to be Spirit and Spirit is what we recieve to conform to GOD. sending a Word (Logos) means nothing as word can or can not produce anything IMO. But Spirit goes beyond words it…[Read more]
