Emusan: I've made myself cleared on this.
Just say you cherry pick them because I'm sure you won't quote them whenever they against your view.
Now, do you compare them with NWT?
So which version did you read it from that Jesus is the first created being?
This was your initial point
But you're using the silent point of FIRSTBORN to arrive at FIRST CREATED.
So the two are of different meaning.
The @underlined is your conjecture not from the scripture.
Reason you keep confusing yourself.
Then why must Jesus still be the one SHOULD BE FIRST IN ALL THINGS?
If we go by your explanation here, reason why you can't answer that question.
If Jesus is part of creation then it means Jesus created Himself.
Preeminence means sovereign OVER ALL CREATIONS.
John 1:3 says "Apart from Him, NOT EVEN ONE THING was created.."
You can see the reason why Watchtower has to dubiously inserted the word "OTHER" multiple times in Col 1:16-18.
No! Don't twist it.
After Paul described Jesus as the Creator in that Col 1, he went further to say He is the first to be raised and end it by saying "so that HE WILL BE FIRST IN EVERYTHING" that is the key point.
If Jesus was created, no need for that statement. Guy hold on to your interpretation. |

MaxInDHouse: @ Cornelboy Let them change the meaning of the word "FIRSTBORN" nah Perhaps English will change the meaning of that word because Churchgoers are demanding it! Hahahaha they are really funny. I'll be here to correct their mistakes  |

[quote author=Emusan post=126177535][/quote] Sure I can't! But will you use the same KJV or any other versions when it's against you? That's why you must stick to the version you subscribe to. You can't tell me which versions to quote or which ones not to quote. I use all the scriptures and compare them together. I have never quoted the NWT here. So don't ever bring that up again. But not FIRST CREATED.
The two aren't the same. I never said "firstborn" means "first created". Firstborn signifies first in order of time and first in importance or preeminence. "Firstborn of all creation/creature" simply means Jesus is the first and most important creature in God's creation. It's clear that Jesus is part of creation and he's the first (order of time) and most preeminent of everything created. Just like he's the first and most preeminent among the believers that will be/were raised from the dead to spirit beings. Colossians 1:18. |

Emusan: KJV is not your cherry pick one, people behind the work of KJV didn't believe Jesus was created so next time stick to your own translation NWT.
"and he is the head of the body, the congregation.+ He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead,+ so that he might become the one who is first in all things;" - NWT
Two things here:
First: He is THE BEGINNING, note that The Father is also called The Beginning
Second: So that he might BECOME the ONE who is FIRST in ALL THINGS.
If you agree with Watchtower that Jesus was the FIRST created Being, why must He be the ONE WHO BECOME FIRST IN ALL THINGS?
Is He not the FIRST IN ALL THINGS before? Lol you're not in any position to tell me which versions to use. Firstborn means first in order of time and importance. So "Jesus is the firstborn of all creation" clearly shows that Jesus was part of creation and he's the first to be created and most preeminent of all creation. |

PoliteActivist: I totally get your point, and you get mine. You just don't want to admit you lost the argument. Simple: you can say: "US is funding the war" BUT you can't say "US doesn't want the war to end" because that would be about what US THINKS! And there is no "US" in that regard! You can say "Russia doesn't want the war to end" because that'd be about what PUTIN thinks! I already agreed with you that was why I said I got your point. I'm only trying to show you that I'm not wrong too. Actually you're wrong because, the US government represents the US. And whatever decision they make in the Congress and signed by Biden, that's what holds. If I can say "the US is funding the war" I can also say "the US doesn't want the war to end". |

MaxInDHouse: Are you saying the first born of creation is no part of creation? What is the meaning of the word firstborn Son in a family?  Firstborn simply signifies "first in importance" and "first in order of time". In the Bible, among the Israelites, firstborns possessed special rights and importance in the family and of course they were the first to be born into their families. Colossians 1:15 KJV Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature
So Jesus was the first to be created out of every creation and also the most preeminent. Colossians 1:18 KJV And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminenceHere it shows that Jesus was the first to be raised from the dead to a spirit life and also the most preeminent.  |

PoliteActivist: Bottom line: you can say what US does but you can't say what US thinks because no individual or unanimous group is synonymous with "US". You can say what Russia thinks because Russia is synonymous with Putin. I'm sure now you get it! See I get your point. You're the one not getting mine. I know that the Congress members have to debate, vote and all that but their final decision is what that's important. So when the majority of the members agrees to fund Ukraine, I can say the US funds Ukraine. If the majority eventually decides to stop funding Ukraine, I can equally say the US stopped funding Ukraine. |
Foreign Affairs › Re: Viktor Sokolov Seen In Video After Ukraine Said It Killed Him by cornelboy(f): 11:08am On Oct 02, 2023 |
PoliteActivist: Yes, you can say "US stopped funding the war"!! Just as you can say right now "US is funding the war". You can say what US is actually doing!! BUT you can't say what US THINKS {"doesn't want the war to end"} as you can say about Russia, because there is no "US" in that regard! Get it? The arguments and division among the Congress members is not my concern. Their decision and actions at the end of the day is what is important. And the fact is the US has been supporting the war. |

PoliteActivist: Na wa for you o. It's been shown to you in screenshots why the statement "US doesn't want the war to end" can't be right. And even "US govt doesn't want the war to end" is still wrong because (as shown to you in screenshots) US congress - who are the ones that fund the war, are about evenly divided about the war. You can say what Russia wants about the war because Russia means Putin. Doesn't apply in the case of US! That's none of my business. The fact is US evidently funded and supported Ukraine the war. If they eventually stopped funding them and somehow stopped the war, I'd say something like "US stopped funding Ukraine or US stopped the war". |
