Dux-01:
if Jesus has a beginning why did he say he is the alpha and omega in the book of Revelation?

Jesus is not the alpha and Omega.

Revelation is reporting about Christ and His father.

Imediately Jesus is mention, it will be followed by the Father, or, when the father is mentioned, next, the son.

Dont mixed things up and get confused.

cool

benalvino: But if he appointed David to be his firstborn then he has gotten 2 firstborn na... Can't you understand? And thanks for making my case stronger... In this case the firstborn is neither A first child of God or his parents nor is it the first created... Instead the verse is saying he is higher than all the kings in the earth that is preeminence.

Jesus was not "appointed", he is God's only begotten "firstborn" son. QED

His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength. And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter; " (Revelation 1:13-19).

It is the bible that should decide what we should belief in.

benalvino:

If Jesus is not God what is he? Answer this question.

I dont want to discuss revelation with you.

"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace." (Isaiah 9:6).
.....................

"Son of God" >>>
The bible calls him "mighty God"


"And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them." (Exodus 6:3).
........................

While Yahweh is called "almighty God".

Take note, the word God is a title.

Even satan is called god:

"In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them." (2 Corinthians 4:4)
......................................................................................

So, Yahweh is greater than Jesus christ.

Peace

I don't know what to say...but that is not it. These are small small man made teachings they brought in to confuse you the more. Read this and correct yourself.

Hebrews 1:1-2
New International Version (NIV)
God’s Final Word: His Son
In the past God spoke to our
ancestors through the prophets at
many times and in various ways,
2 but in these last days he has
spoken to us by his Son, whom he
appointed heir of all things, and
through whom also he made the
universe. Also Rev 1:1.

Who is still speaking? Is He 3? Who made the appointment? Is He 3? So the God the Israelites worshiped is not 3 persons, acts 3:13.

Again, thanks for all the reactions to my question.

1. I agree that the Source of ALL life is God.

2. The Bible also makes clear that Jesus is the Source of ALL Life.

"But you killed the very Source (the Author) of life . . . ." Acts 3:15 AMP.

"You killed the author of life . . . ." Acts 3:15 NIV.

Is there a contradiction there? No. There is only ONE Source of life. If two people are described as the Source of life, it means they are the same person.

It also indicates that Jesus has been in existence all this while. Since angels, plants, animals, and humans all have life, and since angels at least probably have been here for millions of years, it means Jesus has been here longer and did not just show up.

Further, the other portion of Acts 3:15 says God raised Jesus from the dead. That's where the mistake of those who fail to understand that Jesus is God lies. They see Scriptures and do not look at the context. As man, Jesus died and was raised from the dead. But as God, He is the author or source of life.

As I mentioned earlier, I'll show more Scriptures that can ONLY be explained from the angle that Jesus (and the Holy Spirit) is God. Whether you call that Trinity or not is immaterial.

That is when the distinction started I guess and I stand corrected... Today I will be your father and you will be my son... That is before Jesus got into the womb of Mary. Why you will born a child and wait till some time before you tell the child today I will be your father and you will be my son? When you fail to look at the bible and understand what things mean instead you open dictionary to aid you in the bible you get lost... Compare passages and you will find out the meaning of things. Just like firstborn flesh blood etc... Dictionary won't help you to know what they are use to explain in the bible but the bible will help you know the meaning...

Don't worry..your problem is about to be solved......

Please read this from the psalms it was extracted from......

This is the GOodnews translation........

Psalms 45:6-7

6 The kingdom that God has given you will last
forever and ever. You rule over your people
with justice;
7 you love what is right and hate what is evil.
That is why God, your God, has chosen you and
has poured out more happiness on you than on
any other king.


This is just one sincere translation that gave a balanced rendition of hebrews 1:8 and psalms 45:6-7 from which it was excerpted from.............

The kingdom Jesus is receiving from God is the same kingdom that was given to david which ofcourse would last forever...........

And to make that verse 8 not even sound like something that should support the trinity verse 9 further says ""that is why GOD,your GOD has chosen you""...........

It is so obvious that Jesus has a GOD and that GOD is the same GOD Jesus said we should worship and that GOD is the GOD who sent Jesus and that GOD is the GOD who is the one GOD........

Jesus is the only begotten son because he is the one person and the first thing God created directly.......and that Jesus became the agent through which God created all other things........this is why Jesus is rightly called the firstborn of all creation and also the beginning of Gods creation.............

Hope you get the point??......

Example for you........

Isaac was called abrahams only begotten son...............I guess you know why.......isaac later on did give birth to his own kids and all were grand sons of abraham while abraham became there fore-Father........but isaac strictly was abrahams only begotten son.....
