they insert other there because of proverbs 8:22... till today you haven't told me who prudence is that wisdom dwells with... you have told me why she(wisdom) cry out? etc... if other is not in the Greek why will they insert it? in john 1:1 they rendered the WORD to be a god... when originally it is suppose to be GOD... lets assume God created Jesus then Jesus created him self... that is what you want? cause the original post made it clear but you are bringing firstfruit that is unrelated and trying to make rev 3:14 link... I want you to write a post comprehensive one here linking rev 3:14, Proverbs Colossians, John 1:1 and Genesis let me see.

ice234: I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible.

And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all worlds; God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God; begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father, by whom all things were made.

Who, for us men for our salvation, came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary, and was made man; and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate; He suffered and was buried; and the third day He rose again, according to the Scriptures; and ascended into heaven, and sits on the right hand of the Father; and He shall come again, with glory, to judge the quick and the dead; whose kingdom shall have no end.

And I believe in the Holy Ghost, the Lord and Giver of Life; who proceeds from the Father [and the Son]; who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified; who spoke by the prophets.

And I believe one holy catholic and apostolic Church. I acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins; and I look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.

the said only begotten means created in all the context... I don explain tire. you keep getting same question no matter how many times you answer it... take a look at my original post and tell me if he has addressed anything

I have told him catholic is different from roman catholic several times...

mary is not the mother of God except you are saying Jesus is a man in heaven before he created everything. Jesus is GOD.
Consider how Jesus explained His divine nature. When addressing the Pharisees, He asked them: “‘What do you think about the Christ? Whose Son is He?’ They said to Him, ‘The son of David.’ He said to them, ‘How then does David in the Spirit call Him ‘Lord’.... If David then calls Him ‘Lord,’ how is He his Son?’” (Matthew 22:42-45). The Pharisees failed to answer the question correctly because they were thinking about the physical nature of the Messiah. While Christ was a physical descendant of David (cf. Luke 1:32; Matthew 1:1), according to His divine nature He did not have a physical father, since He Himself is before all (John 8:58). In the same way that David could not be the father of the divine Messiah since he called Him “Lord,” Mary cannot be the “Mother of God” since she calls Him “Lord” in Luke 1:38,46-47. The truth is, as Paul explains, “according to the flesh, Christ came” through the patriarchs, David, and, yes, Mary, but according to His deity, He is the “eternally blessed God” who is over all (Romans 9:5).

there is nothing there to explain you just finding argument. the original post I didn't cant be debunked till you point out the flaws in it no worry.
Re: "Firstborn" Does It Mean First Created? Jehovah's Witness! by ice234: 9:15pm On Jun 09, 2013
I give up...

I will say... Hold on to what you believe in.. If you think Jesus is a man--Good for you
If you think Mary is God's mother, good for you.
If you believe in the Holy Trinity, good for you.
The keyword to christainity is live right and follow the footsteps of Jesus, do unto other what you would want them to do unto you. Put your hope on God and not on man. Believe that Jesus died for our sin and He is the only true saviour and the only means to God the father.
I pray we all make Heaven last last irrespective on our view on Christ and Mary.
