1 | Who is God Talking to in verse 26? | Genesis | Tess | 140896 | ||
In this passage God is speaking to his son Jesus. The person who became known as Jesus Christ did not begin life here on earth. He himself spoke of his prehuman heavenly life. (Joh 3:13; 6:38, 62; 8:23, 42, 58) John 1:1, 2 gives the heavenly name of the one who became Jesus, saying: “In the beginning the Word [Gr., Lo´gos] was, and the Word was with God, and the Word was a god [“was divine,” AT; Mo; or “of divine being,” Böhmer; Stage (both German)]. This one was in the beginning with God.” Since God is eternal and had no beginning (Ps 90:2; Re 15:3), the Word’s being with God from “the beginning” must here refer to the beginning of God's creative works. This is confirmed by other texts identifying Jesus as “the firstborn of all creation,” “the beginning of the creation by God.” (Col 1:15; Re 1:1; 3:14) Thus the Scriptures identify the Word (Jesus in his prehuman existence) as God’s first creation, his firstborn Son. |

Tess, the Entire NT is a procalmation of the eternal, uncreated deity of Jesus Christ. That they had known God in the flesh, that He had died and risen again, is what transformed ordinary cowards into extraordinary heroes. The gospels' sole purpose, their reason for being, is to proclaim these incredible facts. The founder of JW, Taze Russell, who never finished high school, who promoted "miracle wheat", the "millenial bean" and a cancer "cure", has been dead since 1916. Christ, on the other hand, is alive.
