Bible Note: Greetings Truthfinder, Not much of what you have actually shared makes a whole lot of sense, nor was it shared within the context of any specified passage. Here is what Strong's Exhaustive Concordance shares about "beginning" in Rev. 3:14.. "arche ar-khay' From G756; (properly abstract) a commencement, or (concrete) chief (in various applications of order, time, place or rank): - beginning, corner, (at the, the) first (estate), magistrate, power, principality, principle, rule." Also, none of the sources that you have used could possibly lead you (or anyone else) to a conclusion that "beginning" means "created" (or, as it where, that Jesus was created) as you have so specified. The lexicons that you use only attempt to tell you what the specified word means. They do not answer the question of meaning based on context of a specific verse. :-) Therefore, your conclusions are entirely baseless, and your studies are entirely worthless. You will be unable to convince of ANYTHING unless you can answer the question WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF SCRIPTURE. Until then, I am just going to run Scripture after Scripture after Scripture at you until you do. :-) So let me take apart some more incorrect conclusions that you have come to in studying specific verses..
