1 | Do you yet say that Jesus was just a man | John 9:24 | stokeyhk | 55074 | ||
I believe Jesus was born three times: 1) Colossians 1:15; Revelation 3:14: "The firstborn of every creature." "The beginning of the creation of God." (KJV) 2) Luke 1:35: "That holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God." (KJV) 3) Jesus was "declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by resurrection from the dead." (Romans 1:4, KJV) In the first stage of Jesus' life he was a spirit son of God. In the second stage he was a human son of God. Now, in the final and eternal stage, he is again a "life-giving spirit." However, he now has greater authority. (See Matthew 28:18; Philippians 2:9-11; 1 Peter 3:22) 1 Corinthians 11:3 says: "The head of Christ is God." So as Ephesians 1:2, 3, 17 show "God our Father" is the "God of our Lord Jesus Christ." So, I believe God is the Almighty Father, "the most high," Jesus is God's firstborn Son, a "mighty God" but subject to God, yet at God's right hand, hence having the second highest position. (Exodus 6:3; Psalm 83:18; Isaiah 9:6, 7; Philippians 2:11, KJV) Stokeyhk. |

2 | Stokey, Was David the firstborn? | John 9:24 | Searcher56 | 56497 | ||
Scripture ... 1 Sam 16:11ff, Psa 89:27, Pro 8:30, Col 1:15-18,Rev 3:14 ... In Col 1:15, the Greek word is "prototokos" meaning the pre-eminent one. Christ is not the firstborn over creation, not of creation ... read the context. See what was said of David (Psa 89:27), but was he born first (1 Sam 16:11ff)? Christ is not the first one to be born on earth (Old Testament people preceded him) but Christ is the firstborn of the resurrection and as the heir of all In Rev 3:14, the Greek word is "arche" meaning head, or ruler, as well as beginning. Jesus is the architect of all creation. More to come, Searcher |

Greetings Searcher, Excellent response to Stokeyhk.. But it is my understanding that he has left the Forum for good, and is unable (and most likely not willing) to respond. Blessings to you, Makarios |
