Bible Note: My Dear Stokeyhk, I'll only comment to a couple of your points as it should suffice. Better men than myself, men who are far more learned in the original languages do not support your misunderstanding of Col.1:15-18. You might want to see A.T. Robertson, a rather well respected Greek scholar, in his Word Pictures in the NT. What does this man say of prototokos? Let me briefly quote Marvin R. Vincent, from his Word Studies in the NT. "so first born points to eternal preexistence, ...for we must carefully avoid any suggestion that Christ was the first of created things, which is clearly contradicted by the following words: in Him were all things created. This fact of priority implies sovereignty." As for Romans 1:4, if you own or use a Lexicon, please look up the word, "horizo". It can be translated to determine, appoint. My authority on this comes from Dr. John Sproule Thd. former professor of NT and Greek at Grace Theological Seminary for 30 years, and translator of Romans for the NKJV! My friend, please don't show up with unsupported suppositions or careless exegesis. You'll be found out in a hurry. Your Oneness doctrine would be better purveyed in a different Forum.
