Mike…….Even if we agree with you interpretation , about the word “ginomai ” , where does that say he existed as a sentinel being of any kind before his birth on this earth? sure Jesus existed before Abraham, in the plan and will of God, the “man” Jesus was God’s whole purpose for all of “MANKIND ‘S ” existence , He was GOD’S PURPOSE FOR AL…[Read more]

Adam…..I completely agree with that, many force the text to say what it is not actually saying, but with the guidance of the “SPIRIT OF TRUTH” given to those God has chosen , the truth will come forth. Satan has done a good job of twisting the truth of God’s words by false translators , to disguise the truth about “the “man” Jesus the anointe…[Read more]

Mike….you are right Jesus is the messenger who delivered What was given him from God the Father, and he delivered it to John another messenger of God , who delivered it to the Churches. Just that simple, Jesus is not an, angelic ” being”, he is the “messenger”.

Mike….. First of all , the word “I existed” is not in the text , Jesus said Before Abraham I am.
The word “before” used there does not imply a time period. But a rank or position of importance. The Jews used their tie to Abraham as their position of their importance. John the Baptist had the same problem with them, that is why he told the tha…[Read more]

Proclaimer…..the word of God, “became”
became……came to pass , God the Father own prophesied words came to pass, or “came to be”, it was the “flesh man” Jesus, when His human mother gave birth to him. That verse is not saying Jesus is Gods word himself, It’s saying the words God spoke through his prophets came to pass, it was the

Berean……let me paraphrase it for you OK?, “Jesus is the “only” “born flesh and blood human being, to become a Son of God,” yet, (the first of many) to come.
Satan wants you to believe Jesus didn’t come into his only true existence through a human birth process, and therefore is not of the human race. That is exactly what you false teachers…[Read more]

Proclaimer……Tell us was Adan born or created, you false assumption of them being the same is wrong, because “born”, “ALWAYS”, implies a “BIRTH” process, while a creation does not. Adam and eve were “CREATED”, not “born”, The first person “BORN” was “CAIN”.
Therefore Jesus said unto them, “you are of your father (the devil),, because the…[Read more]

Mike……Right on brother. Very good post to LU and Berean too. That is the way I see it also, one God who created everything “alone and by himself”. Isa 44:24, God does nothing through his servants but speakers his words to them and sends them out to tell his words, to who he sends them to. That is exactly what he did with the prophets…[Read more]

To all……Your using the word “firstborn”, to mean first created.
Born is completely different then “created “.
Jesus is the first human being “born of the womb of a women, to enter into the kingdom of God.” He is also given by God that firstborn status of them who will also exactly like him will enter into the Kingdom of God also, but none of…[Read more]GeneBalthrop replied to the topic Was Jesus Jewish Messiah – What does the Hebrew Bible really say? in the forum Doctrinal Disagreements 4 years, 8 months ago
LU….. Jesus said clearly , “call no man on earth your father, for one is “your” father who is in heaven”.
And again, He told us to pray like this , “our” Father Who art in heaven”….he includes himself by using the word “OUR”.and again, he said, “your” father in heaven knows you have need of these things”
