1 | Where does Scripture say Jesus created? | Rev 3:14 | Truthfinder | 96016 | ||
Hi Tim, Which translation of the Bible would you prefer? As we know there are so many to choose from. What about the American Standard Version? or the New American Standard Version? Well, in the "Foreword" of the New American Standard Version, we read "This translation follows the principles used in the American Standard Version of 1901, KNOWN AS THE ROCK OF BIBLICAL HONESTY." A.S.V. 1901. John 9:38 - "And he said, Lord I believe and he worshipped him." That is he worshipped Jesus who had given him who was born blind, his sight. A footnote reads: (re. the word worshipped) "The Greek word denotes an act of reverence, whether paid to a creature (as here) or the Creator." The Greek scholar's footnotes recognize Jesus' being a "creature" a "creation". Truthfinder |

Greetings Truthfinder! You're joking! Right? Your Biblical evidence that Jesus was created is a footnote found in a Bible translation!!! You'll have to do better than that my friend! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Tim, You know me better than that. You yourself many times have attributed truth and insight to the "qualifications" of Bible translators. I do not. You and I can can even translate. Allow me to ask you about the NASV. Do not their exegetical interpretations sway your way of thinking in the least? Truthfinder |

Greetings Truthfinder! Before we go down a different rabbit trail, I am still confused about your original response to my question. I asked where does the Bible say that Jesus is created! You responded with a footnote from a translation. What was the point? And, the original question still stands: Where does the Bible say that Jesus is created? Of course, I already know the answer to this one! :-) It does not ever say that He was created. But, it does say that He created all things. Now, as far as the NASV is concerned, I would have to say that it does not influence me in the least, since I never use it! ;-) When I was younger, I used the KJV. As I got a little older, I started using the NIV. I will very occasionally compare a verse in other translation, but not very often. For the most part, I go directly to the Greek for my serious study. Now, for the OT, I don't remember as much of the Hebrew, so I can't really read directly from it. I do remember enough to consult those who do know Hebrew though. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

For By Him All Things Were Created NASB Colossians 1:16 For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities--all things have been created through Him and for Him. The Bible teaches that by Christ all things were created. Some say that Christ Himself is a created being. If both these statements are true, then Christ created Himself -- since he created all things. Of course the idea that Christ created Himself is absurd. Therefore, since the Bible is true, then it is not true that He is a created being. He Himself Existed Before All Things NASB Colossians 1:17 He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. AMPLIFIED Colossians 1:17 And He Himself existed before all things, and in Him all things consist (cohere, are held together). [Prov. 8:22-31.] A. The Bible teaches that Christ Himself existed BEFORE all things. B. Some say that Christ Himself is a created being.* If both A and B are true, then Christ existed before He existed, which is impossible. Therefore, since the Bible is true, then it is not true that He is a created being.* ____________________ *created being. All things would include Christ. In Colossians 1:16 "all things" include "rulers or authorities", which are beings or persons, as Christ is. ******************** Tim: Of course, I agree with you. I thought you might find this post interesting. --Radioman2 |

Greetings Radioman2! Of course, we could do like the NWT and simply add the word 'other'! Problem solved! ;-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
