A firstborn can lose his birth right and given to another.All firstborns were literally speaking the firstborn.With the following exception: It could be lost and given/transferred to another.So why isn't Jesus literally the firstborn of all creation?Why isn't he the first act of the Father?What makes a person think that Yeshua wasn't actually the…[Read more]
